Customer Reviews

An amazing resource

I highly recommend this wonderful book for owners of adult cats of any age. The information is very well presented, complete, and useful to any cat owner. I would definitely recommend that a cat owner have this knowledge BEFORE their cat is old so they can be informed and prepared what to look for in their cat and get proper supportive care before the cat is too ill. I also think it's fascinating to know that there are certain conditions found in specific breeds. This would help anyone who would want to acquire a cat in the future to be informed about everything they would need to know about the breed they're considering. Huge kudos to Amy Shojai for writing "Caring For Your Aging Cat." Laura Speirs The Kitty Sitter Beaverton, Oregon

A must read!

It has something for everyone in that it give details about complicated information (such as cellular aging) which will be read with interest by those who have some knowledge about cats....but it also explaine things in simpler language for the lay-person. This book is a must read for all people who cherish their cats and want to make their cats' golden years more comfortable.
