THE COMPLETE ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CATS, compiled by the feline expert Esther Verhoef-Verhallen, is illustrated with superb photographs.

The section on breeds covers a wide number of cats, classified by their origins. In addition to original and established breeds such as the Siamese, British Shorthair and Persian Longhair, the author also describes mutation and combination breeds such as the Ocicat, Exotic, and Cornish Rex.

Όπως προϊδεάζει και ο τίτλος, είναι μια εγκυκλοπαίδεια για γάτες με λεπτομέρειες για ράτσες, για την καταγωγή τους, για τη φροντίδα τους και γενικά με ό,τι πληροφορίες μπορεί να φανταστεί κανείς για το γατόκοσμο και τους κατοίκους του. Προτείνεται σε γατόφιλους και μη :)

[Cattus Spiritus · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lo tengo en físico y me encanta, aparte de que vivo enamorada de los gatos.
¡Si te gustan los felinos lo vas a disfrutar mucho!
A nivel informativo también está muy bien: incluye varias razas, cuenta algunas curiosidades y es sencillo de leer.
No te esperes un análisis exhaustivo ni información súper detallada, para eso es mejor buscar otro libro. Siempre hay ediciones más completas pero esta es una de las que me gustan.

I keep thinking that I must by now know everything there is to know about cats, but every time I read a book about cats I learn something new
