Books and Articles about Cats

There are hundreds of books and articles about cats, probably thousands if the domestic cat books are included. This list contains the ones referred to in preparing this Website together with a selection of other titles. Additions are made as and when they are encountered, although articles relating solely to the pathology and/or parasitology of cats are usually omitted. Many of these references will only be found in the libraries of universities and similar learned institutions.
The inclusion or omission of a particular book from the list does not imply its endorsement or condemnation although we have tried to include the really excellent and omit the really dreadful ones. It is important to realise that a book apparently dedicated to one species may also contain valuable information about others related to it or found in the same area.
