Cat-ographies
Series of 6 titles
These cats may look like small bundles of fur, but they're full of purr-sonality! Whether it's saving a person's life by meowing loud enough to wake up its owner so that he can call an ambulance for his wife who lay unconscious on the floor (Gizmo, a Siamese cat), or having the distinction of being the pet of the President of the United States and living in the White House (India, an American shorthair), the real-life stories of these cats will fascinate readers. In addition, readers will learn the history behind each breed and what to consider when choosing one of these cats as a pet. This is the purr-fect series for any cat lover!
