Breeding Pedigreed Cats
Based on their experience as breeders, exhibitors and judges of pedigreed cats, they have written a breeders guide that comes as close to mentoring as any book could. Every aspect of breeding and managing a cattery is covered in a clear and friendly person-to-person style. Up-to-the-minute coverage includes cattery inspections, lemon laws, fad and feral breeds, blood typing and animal rights activists. None of these items, however, detracts from the books main purpose of describing the way and means of responsibly breeding pedigreed cats. The entire breeding process is described in informed and loving detail, enhanced by Carolyn Vellas excellent photographs, many of them showing the birth and hand-raising of a kitten [of her own breeding]. This is everything a guide should be: attractive, well-organized, clear and always helpful.  This books belongs on a breeders bookshelf.  --Cat FanciersAlmanac, February 1998
