Besides showing the different breeds of cats, the book includes the history of cats and other interesting information. There are also many photos of cats included, not all though. The book also touched on some helpful advice, such as grooming, behaviour and even first aid. Definitely a beneficial read for cat owners!

(Ik heb deze in het Nederlands gelezen.)
Ik had 'm van iemand geleend en niet de tijd gehad om 'm uit te lezen, maar wat ik ervan heb gelezen was interessant en informatief!

Very good book about cats, all the basics that you need to know from a cat owners point of view. i would also be a good book to give to somebody who wanted a cat but wasnt shure if it was the pet fro them or not :D
