1.0 out of 5 stars You don't need this one., January 11, 2000

By	Maryanne Schuessler "a/k/a Schuess" (SC USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The only Cat Book I Have, June 7, 2000

By	Michael Kumpf (Acworth, Georgia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not detailed enough, May 31, 2005

By	K. Hammerstrom (ProvidenceRI) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
