5.0 out of 5 stars Best Book for Cat Owners and Cat Owners-To-Be, March 30, 2000

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to a Healthy Cat (Paperback)

This book is filled with terrific information for all types of cat owners and cat owners-to-be. The information is detailed but still very simple to understand. The author presents various options of what to do with your cat if your cat takes ill and guides you as to when a visit to the vet is necessary. The best thing about this book is that if you are a new cat owner and you really have no idea what is "normal" for a cat's behavior, this book will calm your nerves. I recommend it to everyone who either owns a cat or is about to. It is filled with valuable information!
