Summary: Screw up your cat in 300 pages
Comment: This book had so much wrong information I have to wonder if the author ever went near a cat. Rub a male cats belly? Only if you want to get bitten! With so many other good cat books out there, I avoid this one by a mile.

Summary: overall good reference book
Comment: This book, in an engaging style, will give you the basic information you need to select a kitten or cat and take care of him or her. It covers issues such as purebred vs shelter, kitten vs adult cat, feeding, litter training, claw clipping, ear cleaining, teeth brushing, introducing the cat to other pets, and common illnesses. It also addresses such contraversial issues as keeping cats exclusively indoors and declawing.

It's enjoyable to read, and it was helpful to my husband and me when we brought our first kitty home. It's a good overall reference book, but it does lack depth on many subects. And, as a now experienced cat person, I am not sure I completely agree with all of the author's suggestions, but I do think that he offers good, sound advice for the first-time cat owner.

Summary: Good for anyone thinking about getting a kitty!
Comment: I really enjoyed this book. When I bought it, my kitten was already 7 months old and beyond training age, but I still found it enjoyable. It is best for those who are looking to adopt a kitten. There are sections on deciding what kind of breed, training your kitten, what shots it needs after being adopted, and how to make him or her comfortable in the new home. There are great chapters on the physiology and psychology of the cat. What I found most useful was the troubling shooting section, which listed common problem behaviors (like spraying), first aid, and symptoms and treatments for common illnesses (like feline leukemia). Also, for those of you wanting to adopt a purebred, there is a chapter on breeding and showing your cat. Throughout the book there are also side bars with good info and fun anecdotes and trivia. The illustrations are delightful! All in all, I really enjoyed this book.
