A beautifully illustrated guide to over 200 breeds of long- and short-haired cats, now reissued in new flexibinding

This Collins Gem is being reissued in flexibinding, providing the durability of a hardback with the flexibility of a paperback. The stylish new cover design will enliven this and 70 other bestselling Gems.

Each entry in the book includes:

A full-colour photograph and history of the breed

Details on the breed's varieties, coat length, colour, type of fur, markings, size and characteristics

Background information and fun trivia

In addition there are explanations of cat behaviour and activities, plus advice on how to choose and care for a cat.

Sections on famous cats and cat lore, plus a glossary of appropriate terms complete this easy-to-use guide.
