Editorial Reviews

If there is any information regarding the Maine Coon that Hornidge has not located, authenticated, corroborated, validated, certified, and presented, one would be hard put to imagine what it might be.

"Essential for anyone who has fawned over a cat with ear tufts, a neck ruff, ‘britches,’ or a glorious banner-like tail."
