David and Gareth St John Thomas bring together a wealth of knowledge and experience in writing about our four legged feline friends. Capturing the elusiveness of the animals that both draw us and frustrate us, they are able to warm the deepest cockles of the heart with a huge selection of photos of gorgeous cats. There was something new in every chapter for a long term cat owner, something that helped to understand the little critters just a little more than before. It's been a while since a cat book was able to do that, and therefore there is a strong sense of gratitude! * NZ Booklovers *

Capturing the elusiveness of the animals that both draw us and frustrate us, they are able to warm the deepest cockles of the heart with a huge selection of photos of gorgeous cats.

It's been a while since a cat book was able to do that, and therefore there is a strong sense of gratitude! * NZ Booklovers * David St John Thomas had written only one chapter of this little book before he died. The work of completing it was undertaken by his son Gareth. The result, although slender, is a rich repository of all things catty. There is scientific data, such as the impressive fact a cat on a hunt can cover two kilometres on a normal day. * North and South Magazine *
