This is actually my favorite cat care book!
I like it because it tells what life is like from the viewpoint of the cat. It really helped me understand what my cat was experiencing--how she experiences the world, how she communicates, and more. Includes basic natural care advice, how to train your cat, your relationship with your cat, and an a-to-z of solutions for common cat problems.
The New Natural Cat
The bible of natural cat care.
I've had one edition or another on my shelf since I got my first cat. It was the book from which I first learned about natural cat care and the one I still go to if I have some unusual problem to solve. Covers communication and behavior, diet, litter box, scratching post, reproduction, grooming, health care and a guide to common feline health problems.
