Ancient Egyptians from the mightiest ruler to the most humble farmer deified the cat, and most subsequent civilizations have held cats in high esteem. Poets have enthused over the beauty of the cat and writers have extolled all of its virtues and traits in a multitude of books published through the ages in many countries of the civilized world. \u003cbr\u003e Throughout time, the cat has managed to remain virtually unchanged, self-possessed and totally independent. Though the cat tolerates its relationship with man and enjoys the comforts of a good home, the innate behaviour patterns of its wild ancestors are barely concealed beneath its domesticated appearance. The cat of today retains all the hunting skills and physical abilities of its forebears, and even the most pampered of pets will react to the thrill of the chase if given the opportunity. \u003cbr\u003e Having a cat in the home is both rewarding and therapeutic. \u003cbr\u003e No other animal can provide such peaceful company, and no other pet is as fastidious in its habits or as easy to keep and care for. All cats are beautiful, but the individual tastes of cat-lovers are catered for in the wide range of colours and breeds available today. In the pages of this book we hope to show you what makes a cat a cat, how and why it behaves as it does, and how to choose the right cat for your life-style. We explore all the diverse and interesting feline varieties, explain the care of the cat in sickness and in health, and introduce you to the world of the show cat. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e First published 1984 by Octopus Books Limited \u003cbr\u003e Michelin House \u003cbr\u003e 81 Fulham Road \u003cbr\u003e London SW3 6RB \u003cbr\u003e © 1984 \u003cbr\u003e Octopus Books Limited \u003cbr\u003e ISBN 0 7064 2036 S \u003cbr\u003e Reprinted 1986, 1987, 1988 \u003cbr\u003e Printed by Mandarin Offset in Hong Kong \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cbr\u003e Measurements: Please refer to photos \u003cbr\u003e Please Note: All items are sourced second hand so may show signs of wear and tear.
