Review
"Getting back to basics" takes on a new and important meaning in relation to this insightful and thought provoking work. Awakening to techniques that have worked for thousands of years will provide both the reader and her furry companion with options for care that will add significant quality to their lives. -- Holly Hazard, Executive Director, Doris Day Animal League
I believe that veterinarians should study this art - to return to the days when healing was about mind, spirit, and body. We need to know how to make our cats more comfortable in our offices and during home visits by applying acupressure. The time has come to integrate traditional medicine with alternative medicine. Once we do that, we will truly be serving our feline members. -- Dr. Jane Bicks, Noted Veterinarian, Author and TV Host

PURRRRfect book for cat lovers!,
This review is from: Acu-Cat: A Guide to Feline Acupressure (Paperback)
Cats are such sensitive little souls, that's what makes them so responsive to acupressure. Snow and Zidonis have created a guide to feline acupressure that clearly describes how to perform an acupressure treatment, including lots of diagrams. Best of all, the book has specific treatments for common feline conditions like kidney problems, aging issues, hindquarter weakness, calming, and much more. My cats love it, they say "PURRRRRRRRR". Your cats will be in 7th heaven and will definitely have all 9 lives.

This review is from: Acu-Cat: A Guide to Feline Acupressure (Paperback)
I'm a small animal massage therapist but have not taken a course in Traditional Chinese Medicine yet. This book is very helpful for giving a good background for what seem to be complicated concepts and multiple ideas. Acu-Cat is written in simple terms with a well-organized format. For someone who did not have any training in bodywork, this might be a bit too much but still a good intro to TCM. I'm reading Acu-Cat along with Four Paws, Five Directions and find the former an excellent resource for the more detailed topics.
Acu-Cat is a "must read" for every vet, vet tech, & massage therapist who did not have TCM in their basic curriculum.

This review is from: Acu-Cat: A Guide to Feline Acupressure (Paperback)
This book is an absolute must for any feline lover. I have even given a copy to my vet. I first read this book about 2 years ago when I started my training for Animal Massage. I have used everything this book has taught me and have had great results.
