Here is "must reading" for first-time cat owners--though everybody who loves cats will find helpful information in these pages. Included are strategies for protecting feline friends from household hazards and humane ways to correct undesirable habits. Specific advice covers managing the litter box, dealing with hair balls, finding a lost cat, furniture alternatives to dissuade clawing, gardening with a cat in the yard, dealing with a cat's disabilities as it ages, and much more. Amusing line art.
