This is a 25-year compilation of information and prevention techniques that will serve cat lovers well. The author has distilled scientific information into practical language based on the expertise of many certified sources. --Dr. Alice Villalobos, past president of the American Association of Human-Animal Bond Veterinarians and Director of Pawspice & Animal Oncology Consultation. This book is an invaluable resource for cat owners. It's a great learning resource for new cat guardians, a helpful starting point if you're trying to figure out whether something might be wrong with your cat, and a supportive resource if your cat has been diagnosed with a disease and you want to get more information. Shojai's thorough explanations are easy to understand without overwhelming the reader...CAT FACTS makes a wonderful addition to any cat care library. --Ingrid King, The Conscious Cat blog I read this book from cover to cover and found myself never wanting to put it down. Amy Shojai is a brilliant author, blogger, pet behaviorist, etc. In this book and with her many years of experience she covers every imaginable subject concerning cats and explains them in such a way that anyone can understand them. I can honestly say that after decades of owning cats she explains things more concise and in greater detail than any veterinarian my cats have ever seen. This book will definitely go on my bookshelf for reference for many years to come. --Patricia Hubbard, cat owner
