The only fully comprehensive guide to “all things feline,” from the host of Cat Chat on Martha Stewart Living Radio.
Finally, a definitive book that delivers many unknown facts about every aspect of caring for and sharing your life with a cat, ranging from proper nutrition and strange behavior to medical care and multi-cat households, to grooming and geriatrics. The Cat Bible explains the mysteries of feline behavior to owners who are devoted to their cats without being able to fully understand them. It offers straightforward solutions to the problems that cause people to give up their cats, many of which are preventable, including litter box avoidance, furniture scratching, and physical ailments.
There are more than 90 million American households that count cats as family members, but they are a vastly underserved population, devoted to their kitties, yet bereft of all the public attention, programming, and print devoted to dogs. Now, bestselling author and investigative journalist Tracie Hotchner offers them The Cat Bible, with straightforward, fact-filled solutions to health and behavior problems, based on years of research into the real reasons behind these issues. In the same warm, straightforward style that attracts devoted listeners to her radio shows, Tracie tackles controversial topics such as the truth about commercial dry pet foods and their dangers, bringing readers the latest facts on every topic that affects a feline’s well-being.

Summary: The Cat Bible is a great reference book
Comment: I volunteer in the cat rescue field, working with feral and tame cats. We end up with many different cats and also see a variety of ailments. This book, along with internet searches and calling others in the field, are my first resources on what to do when I run into something new. It's a great book to have on hand.

Summary: What To Feed Your Cat
Comment: A great reference book for any of your cat issues. Sensible, readable, informed. Every cat owner should read Chapter 10 -- "Nutrition," FIRST. Folks, we are damaging our cats with dry food -- There are many inexpensive wet-food options available (even in the grocery store) that will not contribute to your cat's development of urinary or kidney problems and will not contribute to the development of diabetes in your cat. Spend a little more on food and save on vet bills. We need to change the way we feed our cats for their health and our wallets.
Customer Rating:
Summary: contradicts itself
Comment: This book directly contradicts itself about raw diets and flushable cat litter, making these two confusing subjects even more confusing. Did an actual editor read this before it was printed? Overall, the information in this book doesn't rise above "obvious" very often.
Customer Rating:
Summary: An OK guide.
Comment: The Cat Bible reads like a text book and isn't something I see us keeping. I'd rather have a cat guide that was easier to read and proivded information in a cleaner manner.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent reference!
Comment: While I've had cats before, this book is incredibly valuable. We just got a new kitten and found great info on training him with techniques we've never considered before. I recommend this for anyone getting a kitten regardless of your history of having cats.
