CATalog, by Bruce Fogle, DVM, is a great compact photo-encyclopedia of cat breeds. The small book packs in tons of useful information, such as breed history, colors and personality traits, onto small pages, along with beautiful photos of pedigreed felines in various poses. You don't have to be a diehard cat fancier to enjoy this very up-to-date visual reference, because there aren't any complicated genetic explanations-just 400 pages of gorgeous and exotic pedigreed cats. There will probably even be a few you've never even heard of, such as the California Spangled and the Spotted Mist.
