I guess I'm kind of a stickler for feeding my kitties ONLY food that I know is good for them *all* the time. There are several things in this book that are recommended by vets NOT to feed to your cats, such as processed cheese (not including cottage cheese). However, there are some neat things in there too, and the book does say, "in moderation." But, if you're a stickler like me, you could probably do better with the Whole Food Diet book. It depends on what you're after. Personally, I feel weird about feeding my kitties something that's bad for them even if it's once a year, and most of the recipes in this book are like that. If you feel okay with that occasional treat and don't worry easily, then this book is awesome!

I thought my cat loved the seafood salad with feta and olives until I fed her the salmon ravioli with squash, oregano, and catnip. Even though she's always in my heart, I think she gets sad that I'm off working all day, and these recipes really do it for her. See also the delicious mango cat lassi and the tuna quiche with cilantro and artichokes. Three billion thumbs up.

I actually bought this book as a gag .. to give to a friend whom is a fanatical cat lover. Boy was I wrong, the recepies are good, but so are others in this genre. What really caught me was the illustrations and the small stories in betwen, a tru feast for the eye .. and mind. It is worth every penny for any true cat lover out there.
