Features: This illustrated, practical, and modern cat care guide is the perfect reference for cat owners, written by the veterinarian and animal behaviorist Graham D. Scott and Elsa Fenwick. The book is filled with engaging content and valuable information, including exploring the relationship between humans and cats based on mutual tolerance and understanding. From ancient times when cats were revered as divine beings to today's selective breeding to suit different owners' needs, personalities, and even individual circumstances, this book is also the best guide for readers on how to choose a cat that suits their needs and how to help them adjust to a new home and provide the best possible health care. The book details the correct dietary and nutritional needs of cats, as well as how to prepare homemade or commercial cat food based on their age, breed, activity level, and overall health. Additionally, the book provides comprehensive guidance on what to consider when traveling with or taking a cat to the vet, such as when to visit an animal hospital and potential health issues that may arise. The book includes clear and easy-to-understand tables that explain the possible symptoms, causes, and emergency actions for various diseases. It also features a chapter dedicated to cat behavior problems and how to address them—authors who firmly believe that cats can be understood, as most are relatively independent and only seek their owners' companionship when needed. The book is step-by-step, easy to learn, and highly practical. It is a very valuable book for all cat lovers.
