Through step-by-step instructions and helpful schematic diagrams, this book about cats and their feline quirks explores hundreds of frequently asked questions:

• Which breeds interface best with dogs?
• How can I maintain a quality exterior finish?
• And why does my model always drink from the bathtub?
