Advantages: A qualified breeder is an excellent source for properly raised purebred kittens. They can answer even the most detailed questions about your model's ancestry, genetic foibles, and personality. Consult a veterinarian or a local or national breed club, or attend a cat show to find one in your area.
Disadvantages: Make sure the breeder is qualified. He or she should allow an inspection of the facility; supply the names of previous customers; offer detailed information about your kitten and its lineage; ensure that the kitten has received all vaccinations and medical care appropriate for its age; and include a written guarantee of its good health. If any of these items is lacking, find someone else.
The Cat Owner's Manual is a basic guide to cat care. The book was written by a celebrated veterinarian and an acclaimed author. It provides cat owners with well-researched and helpful information presented in a lighthearted manner. The creators chose to write the book in a style similar to what you'd find in "operating instructions" for a car or computer. Of course they--and we--respect the fact that our beloved pets are not products or machines!
