Summary: From Russian Blues and Munchkins to Maine Coons and Persians, this comprehensive guide gives an overview of 71 different cat breeds. Each profile includes the breed's "cat stats": country of origin, size, coat color and pattern, grooming difficulty, and cat-titude. Kids will also learn how to choose the right cat for them, how to take care of their new feline friend, and how to understand its behavior. Feature spreads cover cats in popular culture, prehistoric cats, and the house cat's wild cousins.
