DESCRIPTION: The decision to get a kitten or cat is a big one, full of overwhelming choices. What do you feed it? What does it need? Where do you get it - and how many do you get? This book discusses the ins and outs of cat care, including nutrition, health, household dangers, breeds and other essentials any cat owner should know.
REVIEW: This is an excellent book for new and old cat lovers alike. It has a different, more modern approach to cat care, with information that isn't just a rehash of every other cat care book on the shelves. As usual for these titles, there is a good dose of humor, but it doesn't interfere with the information. A worthwhile addition to any cat person's library.
