Animals kept as pets
Fur Babies: Why We Love Cats by, Liz Jones
This is a book for anyone who adores or has ever adored a cat. Funny, unsentimental, moving and eccentric by turns, it celebrates the extraordinary power of the puss. Liz Jones, self confessed mad cat woman, begins by chronicling life with her 'fur babies' -Snoopy, Squeaky, Susie and Sweetie- and occasional house-guest Leo. It's a quirky, revealing account of their different personalities, why she loves them all so much, and the solace they have given her during the past fourteen years.
Luxury For Dogs, by Manuela von Perfall
Dogs have managed to be taken seriously as customers. Unlike common, ordinary cats, hamsters or goldfish, dogs are no longer forced to do their shopping in a musty pet shop. Fancy boutiques are courting their favor- just as luxary labels and fashion chains, travel agents and beauty salons, architects and interior designers, gourmet chefs and fitness trainers have to classic "gentledogs" and barking luxuary ladies; a look at the practical, beautiful, and superfluous reveals new trends and creative fun things. Luxary for Dogs is good fun for all dog fans who want to make life together with their best friend perfect.
