Customer Reviews

The best cat breeding book I have read extremely informative
It is generally the best information I have found and very easy to read and understand. I found the section on pregnancy and assisting with delivery, especially CPR very helpful in having the most successful litters. It is so good that I am ordering another copy for a very experienced breeder that also wanted a copy.

The Complete Book of Cat Breeding
Excellent source for the novice breeder. Tells you in clear terms when to seek professional help. Explanations of medical situations done in clear,easily understood terms. Offers a very real view of the joys as well as some of the dangers of breeding pure bred cats. Helpful information on behavior of the queen, stud and new born kittens. Short and simple enough to act as an excellent resource during actual birthing.

Excellent book, informative and concise
This is an excellent book, I refer to it often when I am expecting or planning litters of kittens. The book includes great photos, many of newer breeds. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.
