Every aspect of breeding and managing a cattery is covered in a clear and friendly person-to-person style. Up-to-the-minute coverage includes cattery inspections, lemon laws, fad and feral breeds, blood typing and animal rights activists.

The entire breeding process is described in informed and loving detail, enhanced by Carolyn Vellas excellent photographs, many of them showing the birth and hand-raising of a kitten [of her own breeding]. This is everything a guide should be: attractive, well-organized, clear and always helpful. This books belongs on a breeders bookshelf.
