Beverley Nichols shares his in-depth knowledge of felines in his books: Cats' ABC and Cats' XYZ. His attitude is one of respect and awe as he points out how easy it is to become enslaved to our regal four-legged friends.

Mr. Nichols sees a world with only two types of people: "F" (Feline people) and "Non-F" (Non-Feline people).
These books are a must, if only to see if you are an "F" or a "Non-F". You may be surprised!
