Synopsis
The classic bestseller—expanded and updated
For years, many veterinary treatments for cats were based on research conducted with dogs because it was wrongly assumed that cats were very similar. Recently, there have been giant strides in feline veterinary research. This classic reference is fully updated and revised to reflect these advances and gives you the most up-to-date guidance on cat health and cat care. It includes:
- An index of signs and symptoms to help you find information fast
- Clearly written, step-by-step directions for handling common feline ailments and problems
- Hundreds of photos, drawings, and tables that illustrate what to look for and how to provide the best care for your cats
- All new anatomical drawings and diagrams
- New information on genetics, geriatrics, drug sensitivities, raw diets, arthritis medications, dental disease, and more
- Information on supplements, nutraceuticals, and holistic treatments that have proven beneficial
- Interesting findings on cat behavior
Whether you have a kitten or a senior cat, this resource helps you quickly identify potential problems, take proper steps in emergency situations, better understand diagnoses and treatment options, and communicate more effectively with your veterinarian. This is the hands-on reference you'll trust again and again.

Helpful for a Novice Cat-Parentby JoseysMom

05/11/2009: This book was extremely informative and helpful for me as a someone who has never parented a cat or any pet other than a fish. I had so many concerns about the cat's health and well-being, such as the best food to feed her, how to trim her nails, and how to accomplish a cat bath without having an instant swimming pool on the floor. I also discovered health information in this book that I had never heard of, such as the diseases and health conditions. There was so much that I did not know about cats that this book prepared me for. Now, I feel like I can handle any issue that might come up with my kitty.

01/18/2009: In fact, perhaps the best I've seen. As a professional manager of domestic and exotic animals, my charges have included toadfish and grizzlies, dolphins and pigs. I've used many vet references and texts, and this is one of the best for pet owners. I love the layout and organization. Emergency information is on the inside covers - no looking in the index or flipping pages required. Critical points are extracted to lists and tables, for easy use. Plentiful pictures and graphics make instructions crystal clear. The book is well written, and is mostly accurate. The editing is excellent. I own, use and recommend this book.
