About The Book

There are thirty-nine distinct breeds of cats, and each one is different. How different? From the Siberian to the Exotic Shorthair and many others in between, Hanoch Piven uses everything from lipstick to circuit boards to show us what our favorite cats are really made of. After all, as Leonardo da Vinci said, "The smallest feline is a masterpiece."
