Following each breed is a section called Meow News which illustrates a famous cat of that breed. Cat Tail language will let you know what your cat is telling you if its tail is in one of six positions. Each boldly-titled fact is accompanied by an illustration and synopsis. Brightly-colored illustrations fill the pages. The last two pages include celebrity cats, how to care for a cat and cat record holders. A fascinating and informative tribute to our feline friends.
