Coming from someone who owns many books on cats, and cat behavior, let me say that this book is excellent. I own a cat that is quite sick (gum desease), and this book had many remedies and ideas for a variety of medical problems. This book is a very good introduction to holistic medicine, but potential purchasers need to keep in mind, that this is just an introduction. Those of you who are familier with cat treatments may find this book a little bit rudimentary. This book covers Ttouch, acupressure, acupuncture, shiatsu, theraputic massage, and a variety homeopathic and medicinal treatments. There are quite a few pictures and scientific drawings, which make this book a fun read. So in conclusion, I'm very happy to have this book. This book is a great value, because it should be worth at least 30 dollars.

A pretty book with lots of full-color illustrations throughout, but not nearly as much information as The New Natural Cat: A Complete Guide for Finicky Owners, Cat Care, Naturally: Celeste Yarnall's Complete Guide to Holistic Health Care for Cats, Dr. Pitcairn's New Complete Guide to Natural Health for Dogs and Cats, or Natural Healing for Dogs and Cats. Get one (or more) of those instead of this.

Very handy information on using herbs to cure for my cat!!!
At the begining the author explain Nautral development of the cats, a small part of training following...then is the Nutrition, Health Care, Touch and Movement Therapies and how to use Herbal Therapies on them....., a big part on using herbs for Health Disorders for every subject...which herbs is poisioning are included.
That is not the same to Use herb on Human and Animals. Even not the Same between Cats and Dogs!!! Beware on using herbs on them!!!

The best thing about this book is the pictures, but I have to say right off that your child might find some pictures a little disturbing. My son was really worried about the cat having an acupuncture treatment.

That said, it was a very helpful book. We just adopted a stray and now she's having kittens. I really wanted some insight into cat behavior and cat care. A lot of the alternative treatments described in here seem a little far-fetched. I think they could help humans, but I'm not taking my cat in to the chiropractor. That said, if YOU would take your cat to the chirorpractor, this book would be very helpful. It also covers basics like house training, nutrition, and health disorders. The book is divided into sections and colorcoded for each one. It's very easy to follow and understand.

Great book for cat owners;, however if the alternative treatments are not something you'd pursue, you may just want to check it out from the library like I did.

I bought this book hoping for something I didn't get. I was hoping it was more in depth but instead it talks very little about alot of subjects. I think the most detailed part of the book is on feline massage/t touch. This is a good book but if you're looking for something more in depth this is not the book for you.

Dr. Fogle shows how alternative therapies such as acupuncture, homeopathy, and chiropractic can complement conventional veterinary care, and offers natural remedies for a range of ailments including cuts and bruises, muscle and joint conditions, and behavioral difficulties. He explains how each therapy works and how to judge the suitability of different treatments for your own cat. This book just wasn't my cup of tea.
