Petwatching Série
Tato série se noří do fascinujícího světa pozorování zvířat, konkrétně koček, a odhaluje jejich skryté životy a osobnosti. Nabízí směsici humoru, postřehů a dojemných momentů, které potěší každého milovníka koček. Čtenáři se stanou svědky nečekaných dobrodružství a hlubokých pout, které se mezi lidmi a jejich čtyřnohými společníky vytvářejí. Je to oslava radosti a komplexnosti života s kočkami.
The wide-ranging coverage in this encylopaedia of cats encompasses entries on many kinds of domestic cat (from Abyssinian to Siamese), famous individual cats (from Felix to Macavity), and aspects of feline behaviour (from hunting to courtship). It also incorporates terminology, cat books and organizations, famous owners, authors and artists, and even people such as Julius Caesar and Napoleon, who hated cats.
