The classic bestseller--expanded and updated

For years, many veterinary treatments for cats were based on research conducted with dogs because it was wrongly assumed that cats were very similar. Recently, there have been giant strides in feline veterinary research.

• Hundreds of photos, drawings, and tables that illustrate what to look for and how to provide the best care for your cats
• All new anatomical drawings and diagrams

• Information on supplements, nutraceuticals, and holistic treatments that have proven beneficial
• Interesting findings on cat behavior

Whether you have a kitten or a senior cat, this resource helps you quickly identify potential problems, take proper steps in emergency situations, better understand diagnoses and treatment options, and communicate more effectively with your veterinarian.
