I expected more, and better, from the ASPCA. This book is so basic, much too elementary for anyone who already owns a cat. Really. In two years I've learned more from my cats than this book could tell me. The information level is cursory, and in some cases, spotty. It was published in 1992, so there's NOTHING here about breakthrough medications for flea and heartworm prophylaxis. The only good thing to say about this book is that the photographs are beautiful. Wish I could send it back and buy something more informative.

This is a wonderful book. My wife and I have 7 cats and we received this as a gift from my in-laws. This is the only cat book we own and we look at it all the time. The book has great pictures of various cats acting out various behaviors, what a kitten should look like at a certain age, and even different parasites that a cat may get. Also included is a list of emergency situations and ways you can help your cat if he/she is injured. This is a great book no cat owner should be without.

I've had this book through 4 cats and kittens, and if you have a really healthy cat who never develops any illnesses, it's great. I find myself using the Cornell Feline Health Center online for my cats.

The diagnostic tree is just too vague, the descriptions of diseases are also too vague and there's just not enough information. Using a vet's resource center with a dictionary handy does you--and your cat--more good, especially if your cat has something really serious.

I loved the book. It had more than the imfo. I was looking for, it retold things I already knew, and it told so much more. I relly think every one to own a cat should read it.I was at a friend's house and everyone was reading it! It was probably the most imfo. giving book I've ever read.

I find this book highly informative and well organized. I have 5 cats and own many cat books, but this one is by far the most referenced. I especially like the health reference section since I have not found this in any other books.

The ASPCA Complete Cat Care Manuel was the biggest source of information that I got before I adopted Jip, my cat. Now I know exactly what to do in an emergency, I know how to catch early signs of disease and how to groom (and bathe) my cat!

I already had a cat and brought home a new kitten. So, I wanted a book to tell me exactly what I needed to know. Its wonderful! Wish I bought it here cause I paid $24.95 for it! Buy it! Its a great book!

This book manages to cover all basic aspects of cat selection, preparation for a cat and cat care for most pet owners. It is easy enough reading for older children with liberal, well done illustrations - enough text that it gives enough information but not so in depth that it is set aside and not read. I recommend this book to my kitten buyers.
