Secrets of the Cat
(Formerly titled: The Name of the Cat)
Barbara Holland
Ivy Books
Nonfiction, Cats
****

DESCRIPTION: A collection of cat thoughts, cat anecdotes, and cat information from a lifelong cat-lover.

REVIEW: This is a nice change from the usual, dime-a-dozen cat care manuals. It is more of a celebration and discussion of felines than another book on selecting and raising a cat. With some happy stories and some sad stories, this is a good book for any feline aficionado looking for something a little different.
