After the upfront "ten basic rules for understanding cats," which reference the page numbers where readers can find out more, six chapters cover caring for cats throughout their lifetimes, kittens to seniors. Bullet-pointed, two-color text and lots of useful diagrams and other illustrations from Ito Hamster, which star a sweet and sassy orange-and-white cat and her owner, make this both easy to read and fun to browse. Across all aspects of cats' bodies and behaviors, Hattori emphasizes getting to know what's normal for your cat so that warning signs are easily spotted. Most chapters end with "extra notes," one-page entries on subjects like training your cat to respond to an alarm in case of emergency. A very appealing, beyond-the-basic reference. Summary ______________ 'A very appealing, beyond-the-basic reference.' - Booklist 'Cute illustrations and fascinating facts' - Guardian 'A perfect gift for any cat lover' Reader Review | 5 STARS ______________ Cats are curious creatures. What makes them burrow into tiny spaces? Why do they sleep as much as they do? And, most of all, how can we give them the best life possible? Dr. Yuki Hattori is Japan's leading feline doctor, and considers cats the most beautiful animals in the world. His advice comes with little illustrations showing exactly what to look for as a cat owner - including charts showing how to interpret their different meows, the direction of their whiskers and the way their tail is pointing! Cats may seem low-maintenance but careful consideration of where you put their water, how warm or cool they like to be, what name to choose and how to groom them properly will make a life-changing difference to your cat. With understanding, affection and respect, your cat will be more healthy and contented - and you'll feel happier too.
