Care, Nutrition, Health and First Aid, Breeds.
This book is comprehensive, easy to use and packed with fascinating facts and essential information. It explores the enduring relationship between cats and humans from the earliest days when cats were worshipped as deities to the present, when selective breeding has produced a variety of sizes, shapes, colours, fur types and temperaments.
The book offers guidance in choosing the right cat, introducing it into your home and taking good care of it. A chapter on nutrition details the optimum diet, whether commercial or home-cooked, based on your cat's age, breed and general health.
Extensive, at-a-glance tables list signs of ill-health, possible causes and remedies, and how to deal with emergencies. There is also a chapter on problem behaviour and how it can be modified. The authors are convinced that it is possible to understand cats, despite their apparent aloofness, because cats enjoy human companionship, albeit on their own terms.
