DK Handbook: Cats

For beginners and established enthusiasts alike, this 'Dorling Kindersley Handbook' traces the evolution of the domestic cat, explains the difference between purebred and non-purebred cats, looks at how cats are classified and examines feline anatomy in detail. It also gives tips on showing and on choosing the right cat for you and your family.

Expertly written, each entry combines a precise description with annotated illustrations to highlight the chief characteristics and distinguishing features of each cat. A fur swatch shows the precise type and colour of the fur, and colour-coded bands provide at-a-glance facts for quick reference. A concise glossary provides instant understanding of breeders' terms.
