Synopsis

A practical guide to acquiring and keeping a feline, The Complete Guide to Caring for Your Cat offers everything you need to know in a handy pocket format. It covers subjects as diverse as how to introduce a cat into your home, understanding cat behaviour, feline nutrition and caring for older animals. A directory section covers 20 popular cat breeds, presenting essential information on the origins of each breed, their suitability for different environments and family situations, and any needs or behavioural tendencies peculiar to the breed. There is a comprehensive chapter on monitoring health, signs of illness and first aid. The book also offers advice on making your home cat-friendly. This book, filled with stunning full-colour photography, is both a perfect introduction for new cat owners and a valuable source of reference for long-established cat lovers.
