Review:

I think this has to be one of the most comprehensive guides to caring for one's cat I have ever seen: it covers nutrition, aging, correcting unwanted behaviors, medical needs, and communication with your cat, among many other subjects. As a person who has lived with cats most of my life, there were eye-opening bits of information I never knew before. Overall, it is a well thought out, comprehensive book. My one teeny-tiny gripe is not about the content of the book or the information, but rather the fact that like a lot of other cat books and literature, it refers to a cat as "she" almost exclusively. As a person who has lived with male cats and female cats and is an animal lover in general, I wonder: can't we just use the word "it"? Very good book anyway ...

From Library Journal:

This book offers sound guidance on the care and training of cats, taking readers from selection through sickness and health and eventual death and the grieving process. Easy to use, the book takes great care to explain the relationship of vitamins to a cat's well-being, and details health problems and remedies. While most of the general information is available in other recent cat care books, Johnson provides unique details in a readable manner. For example, most books don't mention that there are two feline blood types, or that cats love cucumbers, or that tomato juice may help prevent deadly cystitis. Useful and well written, this is recommended for libraries needing a new, good-quality cat care book. --Carolyn Alexander, Technical Information Ctr., Fort Ord, Cal.
