The right cat in the right household is a very special and enduring friend. Here is a book that is all about cats, presented in a style as entertaining as it is factually reliable and accessible to the nonexpert. The author discusses ways of finding the cat that best complements its owner's personality and lifestyle.

Described in detail are traits typical among all felines, as well as specific characteristics of specific breeds. Here too is essential information on vaccination schedules, and recommendations for healthful and nutritious feeding. Toys and accessories are suggested for keeping cats amused and amusing. Charts and sidebars provide readers with quick-reference tips. Helpful features include answers to the 10 most often asked questions about cat ownership, and a test to help readers answer the question: Are you a cat person? Vivid color photos and handsome line art on nearly every page show cats at play, around the house—and simply being good friends and companions to their owners.

My Dream Cat

The first question to answer when bringing a newly acquired dog into the home is: ï¿½What shall we call himï¿½or her?ï¿½ This delightful little book offers guidelines and suggestions to help pet owners come up with the perfect answer. For instance, what is the canineï¿½s type and character? (It would be plain silly, for example, to name a Great Dane Fluffy; or to call a male canine of any breed, Brenda.) But you might want to make a fashion statement, or say something about yourself when you name that pooch. (For instance, a music lover might bless his puppy with a name like Beethoven or Vivaldi.) Perhaps the authorï¿½s wisest suggestion is to hold a family conference, simply to make certain that everybodyï¿½including the dogï¿½is comfortable with the new name. Here, in any event, are 1000 ideas for naming that puppy. Theyï¿½re listed alphabetically, and enhanced with dozens of endearing color photos.
