BOOK REVIEW: 300 Questions About Cats

Review by Leigh Curry

This attractive paperback packs its 240 pages (4" x 7 1/4") with enough facts and sensible advice to fill a cat fancier's pocket for more than one season. The 300 questions are not only numbered but are set forth in seven categories, as follows: Acquisition, the Law, and Equipment; Species-Appropriate Care; Healthy Diet; Health and Grooming; Anatomy and the Senses; Language and Behavior; Training, Playing and Keeping Active. In addition, there is a detailed index.

The questions and answers are presented in a number of colored groupings, and color is used throughout the book to divide subjects from each other. Color photos illustrate many of the points made by the author.

There are many tables and charts which supplement the text of the book. For example, there is a list of the contents for a cat's medicine chest; another list sets forth symptoms of diseases. Both grooming tools and types of cat beds are illustrated as well as listed. Zoonoses, diseases communicable to humans, are set forth along with their symptoms.

This is much more than a fact book. It is packed with advice about care, feeding, training, health and behavior. It is also a delightful book for browsing.
