PREFACE 



IT has been suggested to me by many of my "catty" 

 friends that I should write a small handbook for cat 

 fanciers. By arrangement with the Kennel Publishing 

 Company I have been enabled to utilise the paragraphs of 

 Practical Pussyology which have appeared during the last 

 fifteen months in Our Cats. I have had many years' ex- 

 perience with cats and kittens, and have also a real love 

 for them, without which I do not believe any one can be a 

 successful breeder and exhibitor of cats. What is worth 

 doing at all is worth doing well, and to combine profit with 

 pleasure is a most desirable end to have in view. The 

 object, therefore, of this little book is to assist cat lovers to 

 become cat fanciers. I trust that it may be found helpful 

 and instructive.
