MY REVIEW

Caring for and loving another being outside of yourself is something everyone should try to experience. The world would be a much better place if we truly understood that life is all about love and we, as the human race, have a duty to make this planet better for all of earth’s creatures, not just the ones we recognise as pets.

I have been a cat lover all of my life and I have to admit I’ve read tons of books on felines so my expectations were mediocre at best. However, I was pleasantly impressed with the insight and thoroughness of this book. 

The format of the book is easy to read and broken down by chapters including topics to be covered in each chapter, interviews with cat experts, cat therapists, and cat researchers, A Catty Sum Up summarizing three points from each chapter followed by a Cat Chat covering cat stories and observations by the author. In addition, there is a comprehensive list of references at the back of the book.

As to the content, there were topics covered ranging from the importance of play with your cat, to your cat’s diet, and from interpreting cat language to how to care for your elderly cat. One of the most important things I took away from the book was the importance of seeing your cat as an animal first and a pet second in order to give your cat the best life possible. 

Overall, this educational book with cat facts and tips clarified many things I am doing right by my cat and some things I need to rethink to make my cat happy and comfortable for the rest of his years.  I recommend this book to new and seasoned cat parents. It would make a great Christmas present, too!

Thank you to Ms. Kelsey for giving me the opportunity to read this book with no expectation of a positive review.
