Format:Paperback
My copy is so old and tattered now after using it so extensively that I may have to purchase a new copy at some time.
The book itself has different chapters devoted to different areas of the feline. For example, there is a chapter on getting a new kitten, one ome how to care for a elderly cat, first aid for cats (very helpful indeed). Then there is the more technical stuff like haematology and endocrinology which for myself are easy to understand as I am a Zoologist. I actually diagnosed Hyperthryoidsm in one of my Siamese cats from this book and also a heart complaint. Sometimes I wonder if I should own this book because if one of my pedigree cats so much as sniffs, I panic and rush for this book..........I suppose it is the same if you have a human beings version of this book. ie. medical notes for human beings!
All in all though this is a very helpful book and if you own cats I would reommend buying it. Yes, it is expensive but it will last you a lifetime.

This indepth book came to good use just a few days after I bought it. A friend had been having problems with his cat for over half a year and the vets were stumped by the cat's quite serious and strange symptoms. Luckily information found in this book steered the owner and vets in the right direction and the correct diagnosis was finally made possibly saving the cat's life. So, even if I never find another useful bit of info in this book again, it has still truly been worth every cent.

I can only agree with other reviewers. As a cat lover and pedigree cat breeder I was delighted to find this book - however I rarely try to use it now. The wealth of information is frustratingly out of reach, *every* time I have tried to find a specific item the index has been wrong - not just by a few pages but by so many that I just give up. It must be so disapointing for the authors who have clearly put much thought and experiance into this otherwise valuable book.

Sadly disappointing
This book looked as if it was just what I wanted - for all round reference, but I agree with the reviewer above - almost every time I tried to find something it either wasn't in... Read more

Almost comprehensive
When I first bought this book I was very excited. I thought that it was just what I, as a breeder of cats, had been waiting for. Read more
