Summary: A Terrific Book!
Review: A MUST TO ADD TO YOUR HIMALAYAN LIBRARY. I GIVE THIS BOOK TO EVERYONE WHO PURCHASES ONE OF MY HIMMIES. THIS IS AN INFORMATIVE, EASY READING, AND EXCELLENT REFERENCE FOR FIRST TIMERS OF THIS WONDERFUL BREED. LOTS OF WONDERFUL COLOR PICTURES OF THESE BEAUTIFUL CATS. SOME OF THE CATS HAVE THE "EXTREME FACES" AND SOME HAVE THE "BABY DOLL" FACES. A GOOD BOOK WITH LOTS OF PICS TO SEE WHICH LOOK YOU LIKE BETTER. HAPPY READING!

Summary: A Terrific Book!
Review: I really enjoyed this book -- it's well written and helpful for both new and experienced cat lovers. I've owned Himmies for many years and all of the advice is useful and accurate. Every chapter is packed with good information; I particularly liked the chapters on grooming, nutrition, and understanding cat behavior. And the price is certainly right compared to other breed books!

Summary: Simple & Straight forward
Review: I recently bought a flame point breeder/show quality himalayan kitten and was very interested in what the book had to say.

The book is very informative and straight forward in telling the origins of how himmies came about, how to care, treat, nurse the cats.

It covers kittens behaviours, sexual behaviour, guides you in how to choose a breeder and questions to ask, how to breed and show your himmy so all in all, it's a pretty informative manual with glossy pics of some beautiful himmies and regular black/white illustrations.

You won't be disappointed!

Summary: Useless for breeders/exhibitors /pet owners
Review: This book is so generic it is hopelessly useless. Save the [amt] orcat food or grooming supplies-you're going to need them. Even the chapter on grooming is useless. Follow the bathing instructions in this book to get a matted cat at the end. A little advise here for free: Do not rub the fur! Oh Boy! The instructions for blow drying! Blow drying a Himalayan is an art in itself and these instructions are worse than useless, might as well air dry the cat (Don't of course). The advise on choosing a cat is even worse. More free advise: Don't choose one without checking out the current breed standards - NW Region Himalayan Show cat exhibitor
