About this book
Coat colour, cat shows and the daily work of keeping cats share the pages of Frances Simpson’s 1903 handbook. Its chapters move from the history of cats to care, housing and exhibiting, then distinguish Persian varieties alongside Manx, Siamese and short-haired cats. Separate sections cover kitten rearing, amateur photography and cats in America, giving the volume a broad practical scope.
The discussion of orange and cream Persians shows how closely breeders watched tint, markings and the qualities rewarded in show pens. Simpson records an American club formed in 1902 and describes the effort to produce an even cream coat. These details make the book useful to readers interested in the history of cat breeding and the standards of an early cat fancy. The original volume also includes coloured plates and photographs of cats, owners and catteries.
