Customer Reviews

Why isn't this book more popular?

By far the best source for cat care, behavior and training that's out there. I picked up this book the first (and only) time I saw it. I was amazed! What other 'cat care' books only hint at, this book explains. For a book that's six years old it's just a relevant as any new cat book out there.The book has too much good information to go into. I've never read another cat care manual that gave so much wonderful, accurate, and RELEVANT information!I would whole-heartedly recommend this book to any cat owner new or old. As a former adoption counselor and animal behavior specialist at a humane society, and owner of four cats myself, I can guarantee that the information is accurate and WILL improve the relationship with your cat.

a balanced, very thorough book...

This book is great as the first book a cat owner purchases. Its strongest sections are the ones about training, making and buying toys, and making your own kitty treats. I appreciated that the author voiced his opinion that free-feeding was a bad idea, too. It is a wealth of information, very specific info, indicating that the people writing this book were actually interested in and knowledgeable of felines.
