5 comments about Guide To Owning A Scottish Fold Cat: Feeding, Grooming, Exhibition, Temperament, Health (Popular Cat Library).

1. This book had some of the best pictures I have seen of Scottish Folds. The text was informative and educational but it is the photos which catch your eye. They are done with a high gloss finish and are really beautiful. The book contains information on basic care only and touches only lightly on some topics.

   If you are seriously interested in the Scottish Fold, cat there are other books which would provide more information, however, if you just want to admire the beauty of the breed, I highly recommend this book. In paperback, it is not expensive and the photos are as nice as the hardcover version.




2. This is a really great book, full of the most beautiful pictures of Scottish Fold cats. I enjoyed this book because it covers all aspects of owning a Scottish Fold from their history through to showing. My only complaint (which is why I gave this book 4 instead of 5 stars), is that the information is in places a little brief, however this is a well priced book for any budget. I thoughly enjoyed all of the 35+ photos included in this book which show many of the different colour varieties as well as the longhaired varity. I think that anyone considering the purchase of a Scottish Fold cat, should also consider adding this book to their library.



3. This book with its glossy print pages and laminate photo pages gives comprehensive information in very readable format to those who might own or would like to learn more about the Scottish Fold breed. The photos are numerous so that the breed with its different colorations, longhair or shorthair, as well as ear differences are well represented. Topics covered range from the history of the breed to kitten selection, bedding,health requirements and even showing your Scottish Fold. The readable format and beautiful pictures make this book informative and enjoyable for adults who want more information on the breed as well as families who want to share this book among adults and children. A delightful and extremely well done book!

5. As other reviewers have noted, this book has lovely pictures of scottish fold kitties. However, most of the text is general information on cat care. (Grooming, feeding, vet care, showing, etc.)
   What I was hoping for was information on how to find these rather rare cats, how much to expect to pay, and how, if any, their care differs from other cats. There was precious little of that.

4 comments about Manx Cats: Everything About Purchase, Care, Nutrition, Grooming, and Behavior (Complete Pet Owner's Manual).

1. This is one of the most factual books about Manx I've found. Very accurate and helpful. Great book and a great value.



2. I have bred and shown Manx cats for the past 11 years and this is the only book that I know of that is completely factual about the breed. There is a lot of printed matter on the breed which is either misleading or downright wrong. This book gives a new owner or prospective owner a good idea of what to expect from a Manx cat. The pictures are not up to the standard of the writing (one picture is of a Japenese Bobtail), but that certainly doesn't ruin the book. It is not so expensive that it is prohibitive as a research source while being attractive enough to add to your library of cat books. I think it is a book that all Manx owners could benefit from owning and I recommend it to anyone who adopts one of my kittens/cats.



3. Karen Commings has thoroughly researched and compiled an excellent "owner's manual" for the first-time Manx owner. Through contacting breeders and asking health, behaviour, and care questions, she has prepared a book which any Manx breeder (of which I am one) is confident to give to a new kitten purchaser and feel good about it. Despite an unfortunate photo mixup with one picture, Karen's book contains accurate and dependable information about the breed. Anyone considering buying a Manx or who has already purchased one will find the book informative and fun (did I mention, it's also a good read!).



4. This book gave good general info on cats, but not much, in particular, for Manx's. I was looking for details on their elimination problems due to lack of tail, and how to deal with it as far as special diets, etc. But, the possibility of elimination problems weren't even addressed in this book.
