Interesting information for the most part but also a bunch of info that really doesn't seem necessary for the average person. Still, it was a decent read and I may find myself using some of the tips in the future to see how things go.

Picked this book up on a lark, but appreciated the quick read and insightful content. Perhaps now I will unintentionally offend my cat less.

An American book so a lot of the information was irrelevant or not applicable, but a lot of the chapters were funny, and to a new cat owner would prove useful. I didn’t learn much, but a few bits gave me a laugh and I could relate to my own cats.

Planning to get a cat at the beginning of next year, 2014 so the book was informative and useful. Had the usual discussion of necessities i.e visits to the vet, diseases the cats can transmit, but some unorthodox analyzations I was not privy to before. Examples include, how to find a lost cat and do they really have nine lifes??? Made the literature fun to read. Highly recommended for cat owners and soon to be cat owners!! Enjoy!
