An Incredibly Informative Reading

The Cat Care Manual is a hardcover book that encompasses basic kitten, adult, and elderly cat care plus the latest veterinary advice on sickness and how to maintain health. In an easy-to-understand format, (complete with full-color photos and illustrations of cats used to better explain certain points,) the book supplies answers to commonly asked questions, from,"Will cat fleas live on humans?" to "Should I choose a male or a female kitten?" There are five organized chapters, which help make the book more comprehensive: The Young Cat; The Adult Cat; The Elderly Cat; General Medical Care; First Aid. In the first section, you can acquire the knowledge to purchase a happy and healthy new addition to your family. The second part includes all you need to know and more about breeding and neutering/ spaying your kitty. Following up, "The Elderly Cat" describes the sad decision you must make to benefit your beloved feline. After all,"To put to sleep or not to put to sleep?" really is the question. The fourth chapter is packed with descriptions of all sorts of diseases, while the fifth provides life-saving facts.As a cat owner and breeder myself, I can tell you that The Cat Care Manual truly is a number one book for a serious (or even not so serious) cat lover. Viner goes to great lengths to make everything clear to the reader. I suggest that the reader be at least twelve years old, since the detailed information can be rather difficult to digest for the younger person. How can you tell if your kitten has congenital problems? What does it mean if your cat gives you a long, slow blink? Is ringworm caused by a worm? If you are a owner of a feline and you don't know the answer to any one of these questions, then The Cat Care Manual is for you!
