We don't need to tell you that cats are natural supermodels.

Sashaying in front of our photographer's lens are 40 of the world's most remarkable and best-loved breeds, from the Bengal to the Birman, the Rex to the Ragamuffin. Posed to perfection, with not a whisker out of place, the stunning portraits of these show-quality felines will have you purring with pleasure.

Each superb photograph is accompanied by a description of the breed, and a succinct introduction also charts the history of the cat, from animal of worship to prize-winning glamor puss. Beautiful Cats is the perfect gift for any cat lover to curl up with.
