There is advice on choosing and buying a cat, inoculations for kittens and providing a safe environment indoors and out. There are also major sections on feeding and nutrition, grooming and training and essential health care, all supported by step-by-step instructions. Part two, "The Breeds", is a broad visual encyclopaedia of all the main cat breeds, from the ever-popular Persians and Shorthairs to rarer breeds such as the Main Coon Cat, Ocicat and Ragdoll. Each breed has a breed box giving defining characteristics, such as coat texture, eye colour, average size and temperament. There is also a final section on showing and breeding.
