A guide to at least one hundred of the more common and rarer breeds of the cat, from the Angora and the Japanese Bobtail, to the Manx and the American shorthair. Entries include headings on characteristics, origin, grooming, breeding and desired qualities.

Over 60 million cats -- with almost as many cat owners -- currently living in the U.S. create a huge audience for this delightful collection of fascinating feline facts. Peeked with little-known facts, statistics, cat records, cat comments, and how to mourn the death of a beloved cat. The facts are accompanied by 20 charming black-and-white line drawings.

A perpetual journal, not tied to any one year, for recording birthdays, anniversaries, and other memorable events, as well as names and addresses, this volume offers a fascinating cat fact for every day of the year. 32 full-color illustrations from The Metropolitan Museum of Art reveal the cat as a semidivine being, companion and object of adoration.

One of the preeminent novelists of our time, Maureen Howard dazzles us with a love story of radiant intelligence and delicious wit. The exhilarating flights and emotional depths of Howard's storytelling balance the fates of two young lovers in New York: Artie, a bastard, perhaps "begot in the mud of Woodstock," now a boyish computer wizard; and Louise, a hot new painter out of the Midwest, seriously committed to her art. Their romance, seemingly shattered on the eve of the millennium, is played out against the tale of two old lovers lost to each other for a half century. As these two couples search through the cultural flotsam and jetsam for love and happiness, Howard spins a superb novel of ideas and transforms, as only she can, the dear Old Farmer's Almanac into a bright book of life.

A colorful, charming, entertaining and informative year-round companion that brings together all the crazy cat capers and fascinating facts that a cat lover would ever wish to know in a yearbook context. Each double-page spread of the book offers space for 7 day entries illustrated with delightful full-color photographic portraits and drawings of cats. There is a special astrological feature at the back of the book, where cat characteristics are revealed for each of the 12 star signs. Moore is an author and journalist, and an acknowledged authority worldwide on matters feline.
