Have you ever wondered why cats always land on their feet or what different meows or different facial expressions mean? Veterinarian Fogle, author of Pets and Their People ( LJ 6/15/84), together with photographer Burton, explain these and other cat behavior questions in this lovely book. Photographs of birth, newborns, kittens , and mature cats trace the development of a cat's life. Feeding, handling, exercising, and practical care is briefly discussed. The 350 superb color photographs are a visual delight and capture the many habits, behavior, and antics of the cat. If you need a cat owner's manual, a better purchase might be Mary Pyles's The Everyday Cat ( LJ 2/1/91). For public libraries that need a book on cat behavior, this is an informative text that children would also enjoy and understand. Buy it if budget allows--cat owners will love it.
