We report on the measurement of top production and decay properties
obtained by the CDF experiment with ppbar collisions at sqrt s = 1.8 TeV.  The
analysis presented here refer to \int Ldt \approx 110 pb^-1 collected at the
Fermilab Tevatron collider.  About 85 percent of the possible ttbar decays
have been studied in different channels according to the number of high-p_T
leptons found in the final state.  Combining the results from the channels
with at least one W decaying leptonically into an e or mu we measure
sigma_tt-bar = 7.5^+1.9_ -1.6 pb.  We report also on the observation of tt-bar
production in the all hadronic decay channel using kinematic selection and b
identification, and in the channel containing one hadronically decaying tau
lepton.  Finally we discuss the kinematics of top events and measure the
matrix element |V_tb| = 1.12 +/- 0.12.
