This book is DK's encyclopedia that introduces cat breeds.
It has exactly the same content as this book with the same title. (Same for photos and text)

And cats will always be like babies, so they can heal humans.

A general cat breed guide from DK. Lots of pictures with general information on each breed. Then a short section on Care and Behavior at the end. Fun to thumb through. Maybe a good resource if hunting for the perfect breed.

Veľmi užitočná príručka.
Asi 200 strán tvorí katalóg plemien - popis, fotografie, zvláštnosti.
Ďalších 50 stran o starostlivosti - jedlo a kŕmenie, komunikácia, hygiena, výcvik mačky, problémové správanie a na záver zdravie, problémy, zdedené poruchy.
Prehľadne, plnofarebene, prakticke.
