5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic, useful, funny book!, September 13, 2000

By	Zon Mundhenk "Zons" (Lost In America) - See all my reviews

As an owner of 10 cats, I'm always looking for ways to keep them healthy. Dr. Kamen's book is a fantastic instructional manual on how to keep your cats not only looking, but feeling great!

The book contains very deatiled information and excellent diagrams, so that even the slightly sqeamish can feel comfortable with Dr. Kamen's home chiropractic methods. Included is an extensive list of do's and dont's, and guidlines as to whether chiropractic care is exactly what your cat needs.

Though considered by some to be controversial in his methodology, I think the proof is in the pudding, so to speak. I've used his methods on my cat, Arjuna, who was hit by a car some years ago and had problems with muscle spasms. You know what? He's acting like a kitten again, and even brought me a little "present" for the first time since the accident.

As an added bonus, Dr. Kamen also includes a number of very funny anecdotes about his struggle for acceptance in both the veterinary and chiropractic communities; his sense of humor and true love for the animals he works with comes through clearly in the book.

I highly reccomend this book....not only for cat people, but especially for the vets and chiropractors who think they know everything already.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed, November 3, 2006

By	R. Curtis (Corona, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have taken my cat to a chiropractor and they muscle test and use the activator (which doesn't stress out the cat). This book, however, has you doing adjustments (most require two people). I felt the safety of the animal, if you are not a professional, was at risk. I tried some of the moves that only took one person and got no results.
