About the Book
Written with authority, understanding, and a deep love of cats, this is the second edition of the most comprehensive guide to breeding pedigreed cats you will find anywhere. From establishing a cattery, to selecting foundation cats, and from caring for the kittens to legal and ethical issues facing breeders, it is all here. Filled with useful photos, illustrating everything from the breeding process to hand-feeding a young kitten, it is an invaluable aid. There are even important hints to help you through the complex paperwork required to register a cattery, a litter, and a cat, as well as warning about some common problems facing the new, and even the experienced, breeder. This second edition is completely updated, and includes more materials on the cat fancy around the world plus a more comprehensive index. In addition, it is spiral-bound to make it even easier to use, especially when you have to refer to it when using its practical advice to help your cats and kittens. And, in an age of rising book prices, it is more affordable than the original.
