Pre - loved, very good condition book. Has some page 'dog ear' creases and cover scuffs.

Truly encyclopaedic in scope, this is the essential reference for every cat lover.

Fully revised and expanded to include the newest breeds, varieties, and colours, as well as the latest thinking on behaviour and training, The new Encyclopaedia of the Cat is the definitive guide to the history, anatomy, and behaviour of the feline species. 

Chronicling the history of the cat, world-renowned veterinarian and author, Dr. Bruce Fogle, explains how one subspecies of the wildcat developed a tolerance for living near humans and became the domestic cat we know today. 

This book explores many aspects of the cat's role in human culture, including cat worship and cats in folklore, literature, and art. 

Acting as a visual breed guide, this beautiful book has more than 65 of the world's major cat breeds lavishly photographed in specially commissioned full-figure portraits. Key facts are included about all the registered color varieties, their ancestry, breed standards, and temperament. 

As a complete cat care manual, the anatomy of the feline form is analysed in detail, from the skeleton and nervous system to the function of hormones and genes. There is extensive advice on your cat's health, grooming, and other aspects of responsible ownership. 

The instincts, hunting, socialising, and mating habits unique to cats are explained in full.
