From the Author
Top veterinarian Dr. Paul D. Pion and I wrote "Cats For Dummies" with the wish of improving the lives of cats and the people who love them. We put our hearts into this book, along with the latest and best information on cat care, nutrition, behavior, training and more.
We're proud of how it turned out, and we were delighted to receive three top awards from the Cat Writers Association, which named "Cats For Dummies" the "Best Work on Feline Nutrition," "Best Work on Feline Behavior" and "Best Work on Responsible Cat Care."
We did our very best with you and your cat in mind. Now it's your turn to put our book to work! --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

About the Author
Along with Dr. Paul D. Pion, she was given the CWA′s awards for the best work on feline nutrition, best work on feline behavior, and best work on responsible cat care for the first edition of Cats For Dummies. She and her pets divide their time between Northern California and South Georgia/North Florida.
Paul D. Pion , DVM, Diplomate, ACVIM (Cardiology):Paul is co–founder, president, and CEO of the Veterinary Information Network, Inc., and a boardcertified veterinary cardiologist. Paul has been awarded a Physician′s Science Award by the National Institutes of Health, a Small Animal Research Award by Purina, the National Phi Zeta Award for one of the two most outstanding manuscripts in 1989, and a Special Recognition Award by the American Animal Hospital Association for innovations in the field of veterinary medicine.
Paul graduated from the veterinary college at Cornell University and has taught in the veterinary school at the Univesity of California, Davis. While at UCD, he made an important research discovery that has touched the lives of every cat in the world: He proved that deficiency of a single amino acid, taurine, was casuing heart disease in cats. His discovery was published as a cover article in SCIENCE, one of the most competitive and respected research journals and, more important, led to the reformulation of the world′s cat foods and the virtual eradication of a heart disease that afflicted tens of thousands of cats annually in the late 80′s.
Paul lived in Davis, California, with his wife, veterinarian Dr. Carla Weinberg, sons Luca and Joel, and a house full of pets.
