Is My Cat a Tiger? : How Your Pet Compares to Its Wild Cousins

By Jenni Bidner
(2006) ISBN 9781579908157

This book is just as wonderful as the “Is My Dog a Wolf?: How Your Pet Compares to Its Wild Cousin” book in answering the most basic and common questions that occur to so many of us pet owners.  Yes, our cats are definitely very close to their much bigger cousins but fortunately a little tamer, or at least enough to let us live with them.

And again readers of so many age groups will benefit from reading it for the information it provides to us and even more so for the humorous slant that this author puts into her pet books.  Readers will have a good time finding more about their felines and be glad to finally have some mysteries solved.

Is My Dog a Wolf? : How Your Pet Compares to Its Wild Cousin



By Jenni Bidner
(2010) ISBN 9781579907327


For anyone who has a number of basic questions about the canine member of the family, this book is a valuable treasure.  The information that this volume provides includes answers to questions commonly heard as well as to questions about Fido’s behavior we lived with without realizing we had them.  And while some questions while in themselves are not exciting, they do have answers that are surprising and interesting.

Readers of various ages, and certainly readers of the tween age, will enjoy this great little book very much and gain a great deal from it.  Inasmuch as oftentimes tweens are stepping into higher levels of responsibility in their family groups, including the greater degree of care that they have of family pets, it would be a greatly aid to take a look at this work.

Oh, yes, this book is recommended and certainly for anyone who wants to find out the answer to the title question.
