Learn the different sizes of the cat family and how many kittens each cat can have. Explore why cats have claws, whiskers and tails, and why they meow, scratch, purr, hiss and hunt. Find out if cats can see in the dark, if they can hear sounds that humans cannot, if they need baths, and how much cats sleep.

This book was chosen as a 2001 American Library Assoc. Pick of the Lists book. The photos and art are exceptionally nice. It's a really good easy-to-read book about cats at my kids' (who are 7 and 8 yrs.) reading level.
