 Nearly four million households in America keep at least one cat. Now, with the name you've trusted for at least nine lives comes the definitive reference for finding, keeping, and maintaining a healthy, happy pet. The Purina Encyclopedia of Cat Care is designed to answer all your questions. How do I choose the right cat? What preventive care should I give? Why do cats act the way they do, and what behaviors indicate illness? And perhaps most important, what should I do in an emergency situation? Inside you'll find:
An alphabetical, A to Z listing, with 200 entries covering everything from abscesses and hairballs to whiskers and zoonosis. Boxed charts that list symptoms for a particular condition, the corresponding home care, the comparative vet treatments, and preventative advice. A beautiful color photo album of forty-one feline breeds with detailed descriptions of each. A symptoms/conditions table that helps you identify what ailment might be bothering your cat. A comprehensive, easy-to-use index makes quick reference a snap. Names, addresses, and telephone numbers of national cat organizations, including animal welfare and information services, veterinary resources, and feline research foundations. And much more! Accessible, yet comprehensive, The Purina Encyclopedia of Cat Care can be used with ease and trust. And doesn't your cat deserve the very best?
If I'd had The Purina Encyclopedia of Cat Care, by Amy D. Shojai just a day or two sooner, I could have saved myself a veterinarian's bill. Our Abyssinian tabby managed to escape the confines of the house for a romp in the big world. She brought an unwelcome guest home with her…a tick. For what the vet call cost, I could have bought this book. It would have paid for itself. And more importantly, what the vet told us to do is exactly what was suggested in the book.
….the Purina Encyclopedia of Cat Care is … by far one of the more comprehensive works on the subject that I have read. Shojai gives good common sense advice and information about both cat care and cat behavior. There is a quick reference for medical problems that is easy to use and quite helpful. …I would heartily recommend any cat owner place a copy of this book on their bookshelf for quick reference.
