This book is somewhat out of date with current understanding of feline diseases. I wish they would make an updated version because it is the best quick reference for feline issues that I have found. I would still recommend it in addition to a more current book.

As a cat rescuer, I feel it is an unspeakable crime for a vet, of all people, to suggest people buy cats from breeders. That kind of ignorance and inhumane thinking make me toss out anything this man has to say about cats. If he doesn't care that millions of healthy cats are being killed for lack of homes, what good is any of his advice? What does he know about the well-being of cats?
I don't know if he "revised" this suggestion in the new addition, but cat lovers should know what kind of man he is, even if it has since been suggested to him to change that part. There were cats being killed in great numbers in '79, too. No excuse for suggesting people purchase cats. Don't buy this trash. Lots of other books on cat care out there. Please spay and neuter, adopt and do NOT buy from breeders if you care at all about cats.

I've had this book since 1999! It's a wonderful and handy go-to reference for almost any ailment your cat may be suffering from. An updated version would be great, but this works fine for me.

My wife's cats are VERY important to her....so she was quite happy with learning more about keeping them healthy and happy.
