Book Description

September 1, 2011
Thirty-five years ago, Jeanne Adlon became New York City s first full-time cat sitter, and since then, she has done it all. Jeanne has dodged tarantulas, served up kosher cat meals,

and fed pampered felines in Waterford crystal goblets. Cat Calls recounts Jeanne s  experiences, from adventures with quirky cats to the challenges faced by a woman who s determined to reach her clients despite blinding winter storms.

But since Jeanne Adlon is no ordinary cat sitter, Cat Calls offers far more than tales of the cat. Over years of devoting herself to feline needs, Jeanne has become a recognized expert on cat care, so along with coauthor Susan Logan,

Jeanne designed each of Cat Calls chapters to focus on important issues for cat owners, including adopting new pets, feeding your cat, coping with litter box problems, and much more. Charming anecdotes about Jeanne s furry

clients add examples of cat-care strategies that work.

Whether you re looking for commonsense cat-care advice or you simply want to relax with stories about little cats in

a big city, Cat Calls is sure to please.

Editorial Reviews

Review

When it comes to felines, Jeanne Adlon is a real expert . . . In Cat Calls, her engaging and entertaining anecdotes are perfectly blended with solid, practical advice for cat owners. There's a chapter on eating, a chapter on chubby cats and plenty of diva cats who get the star treatment hey, wait a minute! I think this book is about Garfield! --Jim Davis, creator of Garfield

""Jeanne Adlon and Susan Logan have been giving top billing to cats for years now cats are clearly fascinating and mysterious, but what makes Cat Calls so entertaining are some of the more than fascinating people who happen to share their homes with felines. Woven through the LOL anecdotes is good information about cat care and welfare, even experienced cat lovers might learn I did." --Steve Dale, Certified Behavior Consultant, Author of My Pet World (Tribune Media Services); host Steve Dale's Pet World; contributing editor USA WEEKEND

"Jeanne Adlon's extraordinary life as a cat sitter in New York City is a must read for any cat lover. Her wonderful stories of the many cats she has cared for will touch your heart while her common sense advice is priceless." --Dr. Marty Becker DVM, resident veterinarian for Good Morning America, The Dr. Oz Show, and Parade Magazine and the co-author of Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul and Why Do Cats Always Land on Their Feet?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Kitty Book November 13, 2011
By Norton
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've been a cat person for all of my 66 years and "discovered" this wonderful book on a local New Jersey television program, "The Pet Stop" where Ms. Adlon was interviewed by the host Dr. Brian. The stories of Jeanne's years as a sitter are funny, sometimes frantic but always reflect her love of felines. I intend to purchase additional copies of "Cat Calls" for all my kitty loving friends this Christmas. Just wish I could teach Norton, my grey and white, adopted kitty of six years,how to read!

5.0 out of 5 stars A most DELIGHTFUL (and educational!) Book!!! October 17, 2011
Format:Paperback
I read this book from Cover To Cover and put it with ALL my other very special tried and true and wonderful cat books for future reference -- It IS VERY VERY SPECIAL.

To start with, we have the delightful Introduction by Jim Davis, who is none other than Garfields Cat-Dad!!! A great start to an excellent book (Oops - No, BBBT -- get away from that lasagna!!).

This is a very up-beat, enjoyable and informative book -- with cute illustrations throughout. The author deftly weaves her (30+ years' worth of) cat-sitting narratives with very useful information on raising a cat and cat care basics, plus stories about her own kitties.. She also includes information on special-needs kitties (who are lovable and are just like the special-needs humans that we know and love and care for) - as well as information on how NOT to raise a cat (no litterboxes on the exposed totally unsafe terrace please!No kitties and drop cloths either -- The kitties could suffocate!!!)), as well as quirky cats and quirky cat owners (kleenexes instead of litter in the litter-box? Big Bad Baby Twinkle -- who LOVES to hit her cat sitter on the ankles and grab her shoelaces, LOL!! -- would freak out if she set her tusch on that!!!<;-)

I LOVED her DEARLY NEEDED information on Moving and kitties. Her mantra -- as is mine -- Put the Cats in a Separate Room with The Door Closed and A Sign On The Door -- so that they do NOT get packed up in the moving boxes or flee out the front door when the movers leave it open!! Also, she imparts great information on introducing a cat to a new home, where she says to make sure there are NO exits in the new home where the cat can escape -- do you know how many cats have tried to run BACK to their OLD home?
