I took Tina's recommendation seriously enough to order the book. Her 
point that it was encyclopedic enough to be considered a reference 
was what decided me. I have two other books, but every so often there 
is some point about which I really want a complete explanation and 
don't quite get it from the books I have. So, I hope this book fills 
the gap.

Do not meddle in the affairs of cats,
for they are subtle and will pee
on your computer!
