What reviewers are saying:"Brilliant, most helpful & informative; must read before considering buying a cat - I have always believed in the quote "education is power" but this book made me reinforce my feeling about it. Reading this book raised my awareness and helped me make a conscious and careful choice/decision.The book guides you from what questions to ask the breeder, to what cat personality is suitable for your family (it even takes the age of your children into account to help you find the right cat!); it covers a variety of topics, from how to take care of your new pet cat to how to train them and how to communicate with them. It also explains why it is not wise to buy a cat from a pet shop and provides suggestions on where to buy your cat from. Although it is focused on the British, most of the advice would apply to any breed.I would highly recommend this book to anyone who is considering buying a pet cat.
