Now in a compact paperback edition, The Complete Cat Owner's
Manual: How to Raise a Happy, Healthy Cat is an excellent guide written
for cat lovers, cat caretakers, and prospective cat owners of all ages
and backgrounds. Chapters discuss how to care for one's cat, the
basics of good feline health care, what one needs to know if considering
breeding or showing one's cat, and an extensive summary of cat
breeds. Featuring beautiful full-color photographs on every page of
man's favorite feline friends, The Complete Cat Owner's Manual
is a joy for cat lovers simply to page through as well as a jam-packed
repository of invaluable information. For example, The Complete Cat
Owner's Manual warns that the following foods should never be fed
to cats: chocolate (poisonous to cats and dogs), onions (can cause a
blood disorder called Heinz-body anemia), raw fish/poultry/eggs (often
carry bacteria or parasites, and can destroy important vitamins), bones
(may splinter and cause choking or gastrointestinal perforations) or dog
food (which is not nutritionally formulated for cats). Highly
recommended.
