The begins with a basic introduction to genetics and how simple genes works. It then goes on to discuss topics such as coat color and genetics, inbreeding, and genetic anomalies, such as PKD. As someone very familiar with cats and genetics, even I learned some things about why breeders do inbreeding versus line breeding and the benefits/harms of each.
My only quibble with the book is I would have like more illustrations both of the genetic defects when appropriate and of various crossings. I also know that some of the comments such as "in the future it may be discovered..." does date the contents somewhat. I sincerely hope there is a 5th edition in the works.
Still, this book is a valuable addition to any cat breeders', vet's or cat enthusiast's library. Highly recommended!… (mer)
