A handy, quick to read book on all aspects of cat ownership.
While brief, it goes some medical issues that other cat books don’t- which
makes sense, since the author is a veterinarian. A glossary in the back helps
the reader to understand the medical section better. There is also a large
section devoted to the various breeds of cats that includes whether the breed
is quiet or talky, friendly or aloof, active or sedate- information that can
really help a person decide if the breed is for them or not. He also goes into
cat genetics, which I enjoyed- I finally found out why it looks like my black
cat has a white undercoat! (the hair is only black on the tips; the part closer
to the body is white. It’s caused by something called the inhibitor gene). My only quibble with the author is his section
on homeopathy- he doesn’t push it, but it’s there with vaccinations. I know a
lot of people use it, but personally I think it can risk the cat’s life to use
it instead of biological vaccinations or science based cures.
