Rating:  Summary: Is there any subject for which there isn't a "Dummies" book? Review: This is an excellent information book about cats. It is informative, fun, and I think well written. I highly recommend it to anyone wanting to have a reference guide to help understand your felines. I also recommend Cat Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook for anyone wanting more detailed medical info. relating to diseases, treatment options, pictures, etc. I found it to be easy to understand and well written.
Rating:  Summary: WARNING! Review: This kitty reference book really hits the spot. Explains the basics of how to choose a kitty, how to get it home, what to do with it what you've got it home. How to introduce it to family members, small and large, and other pets, also small and large. Well-versed in the pitfalls of kitty care. How to avoid fleas, how to get rid of them. How to spot them. Why never to touch a tick. What foods and litters to choose. Where to put them. Why some cats can't drink water out of plastic bowls!!! (Who knew?) Where to get ID tags for your little Gremlin. (Very helpful.) The minutiae of bathing kitty. Which kitties need more grooming and bathing. But there's also more interesting stuff, like how many fur coats different cats have. (Most have four, but some only have two or three.) What the different fur coats are for. The Latin name of those cute little whiskers. What they're for. How many they have. And why your overweight baby might get stuck in a hole. (Hint: vibrissae don't grow with added poundage.) This book was obviously written by feline lovers for those who are infatuated and smitten with cats and kittens. It's fun reading in itself, and will obviously be extremely useful for answering yet unthought of questions.
