[.ca] Himalayan Cats (ISBN 0764134035)

Useless for breeders/exhibitors /pet owners:
This book is so generic it is hopelessly useless. Save the \oamt\c orcat food or grooming supplies-you're going to need them. Even the chapter on grooming is useless. Follow the bathing instructions in this book to get a matted cat at the end. A little advise here for free: Do not rub the fur! Oh Boy! The instructions for blow drying! Blow drying a Himalayan is an art in itself and these instructions are worse than useless, might as well air dry the cat (Don't of course). The advise on choosing a cat is even worse. More free advise: Don't choose one without checking out the current breed standards - NW Region Himalayan Show cat exhibitor

Simple & Straight forward:
I recently bought a flame point breeder/show quality himalayan kitten and was very interested in what the book had to say. The book is very informative and straight forward in telling the origins of how himmies came about, how to care, treat, nurse the cats. It covers kittens behaviours, sexual behaviour, guides you in how to choose a breeder and questions to ask, how to breed and show your himmy so all in all, it's a pretty informative manual with glossy pics of some beautiful himmies and regular black/white illustrations. You won't be disappointed!

Himalayan Cats:
I purchased this book because I bought a Himalayan kitten. I have to wait one more week before she's able to leave her mother. The book was very helpful by telling me what I should and shouldn't do with a new kitten. The book gave alot of information about how to care for the cat thoughtout her whole life, not just another kitten book. I will not be selling it because I think I will be looking for it though out the years. It also had diffirent chapters explain what to do about breeding, grooming, and other things I needed to know. It is also written very clearly and easy to read. I was very happy with the book.

A must-read for anyone who has a Himalayan cat!:
I just got two Himalyan adult cats and bought this book. As soon as the book arrived, I began applying some of the cat care hints, such as how to care for their long hair. I also appreciated knowing the origin of Himalayans (Persian + Siamese), because it explains much about their personality/intelligence. I recommend the book for anyone who is getting, or already has, a Himalayan.

A Terrific Book!:
I really enjoyed this book -- it's well written and helpful for both new and experienced cat lovers. I've owned Himmies for many years and all of the advice is useful and accurate. Every chapter is packed with good information; I particularly liked the chapters on grooming, nutrition, and understanding cat behavior. And the price is certainly right compared to other breed books!
