A Standard Guide to Cat Breeds ReviewThe Maine Coon cats staring back at me from the photographs of this solid, well-bound book have an old-fashioned look about them, as "A Standard Guide to Cat Breeds" was published in 1979, and the breed has been evolving since then. Coonies are still solid, rugged cats, America's oldest natural longhaired breed. However, little changes have been encouraged such as Lynx-like tipping on the ears. You will not find these changes in this book. Go to your breed's official website for updates on standards that might not have existed in 1979. Newer breeds such as American Curls, Selkirk Rexes, and Ragdolls are not included at all.
"A Standard Guide to Cat Breeds" is interesting to read because it shows breeding as a work in progress. The Persians in this book still have recognizable noses, since the British Cat Fancy didn't go for the extreme smushed-in nose of the American Persian. So there are geographical differences as well as the deliberately encouraged breed traits that are too modern for this book. The standards are British rather than North American--another point to consider if you are going to purchase this volume.
Outdated as it may be, "A Standard Guide to Cat Breeds" is still packed with useful information on how to raise and show your breed of choice. A history of the British Cat Fancy is included, as well one on Feline Genetics. Each recognized breed of cat is usually given its own chapter with standards, history, and personality types. Some lesser known breeds such as the Chartreuse must make do with a single paragraph and photograph.
This book ends with a couple of short chapters on Feline Medicine and Feline Behavior.
