A must for the Cat Owner!

I have the Dog Owner's edition so, when I became a Cat owner I bought this. I wouldn't dream of not having the book in my household. It can answer all your questions and ease your worries at times as well. A must for anyone that has a cat in the family!

Cat Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook

I received this book as a gift, at first I just thought it was interesting. Our cat has always been in fine/perfect health and I rarely had to use it, however now that he has some medical necessities I find that I refer to this often. This book has proven easy to read and full of appropriate information that can help you make decisions on the treatment your feline might need. I feel more educated on options for medical treatment as well as when I should seek medical help. We have recently got our first dog and we are purchasing the canine version of this book too. I have purchased the feline book for a friend who also loves it. Great gift to give or receive, people who want to be more educated about their pets medical needs should definitely purchase and have on hand as a reference.

"Hey! How you cats doin'?"

This is an excellently-presented, very well-written, informative and complete guide to your cat's health concerns. Presenting veterinary medicine in lay language can be difficult, but this book does so, and should be your primary reference guide when Cleo gets droopy.

No one likes to see pictures of sick and injured cats, but the authors, a group of D.V.M.s, don't shy away from illustrating some of the more unpleasant conditions that catflesh is heir to, nor should they. After all, illness and injury plague cats as much as they plague humans, and there's no denying that fact.

My only criticism of this book is that many of the conditions described are encapsulated in overly brief paragraphs. Symptoms are given and linked to all manner of serious and less-serious conditions. There is little differential diagnosis offered between them. Hence, the tenor of the book is rather alarmist at times. The authors' bottom line is usually, "See your Vet," but realistically, not every situation requires a visit to the doctor. Few people can afford to consult a Vet every time a minor issue like a transient case of the sneezies occurs, but home care and treatment is rather slighted in this book. Since the authors are Veterinarians perhaps that's understandable, but describing a swelling as a "possible cyst" without also mentioning that it might just be an aftereffect at an injection site can cause upset, cost a cat owner money for nothing, and cause this book to be less-readily consulted in the future. It happened to me, so I speak from experience.
