Editorial Reviews

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

About the Author

Over the past 18 years Nancy Zidonis has co-authored acupressure texts and developed equine, canine and feline meridian charts as well as acupressure training programs. She teaches acupressure throughout the US and Europe and is a founding board member of The International Alliance of Animal Therapy and Healing (IAATH).

Amy Snow has combined her professional publications background and experience in the healing arts with her love of all animals in co-authoring this book. When growing up in New York City she longed for a time and place to devote her life to the care and welfare of gentle animals. Teaching acupressure allows her the opportunity to offer people and animals a meaningful way to care for each other.

5.0 out of 5 stars PURRRRfect book for cat lovers!, November 28, 2004
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Concise and Well-Organized, August 4, 2006
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.
