An interesting enough little book with stories (of the origins of) and some rather sweet pictures of some of the major cat breeds. I enjoyed having a flick through, but I have to be honest and say this is not the most thorough of books on the topic. This one will appeal most to perhaps a new-convert to Team Cat. A dedicated cat lover will know most if not all of the information and quite possibly some more besides. Better to invest in a bigger and more detailed book IMHO.

the information about the historical origins of some of the cat breeds featured in the book was cool & i wish there were more of it alongside the other info.
