Pet Pals - Healthy Cat

There are sixteen chapters with colorful photos, snapshots and drawings of cats on each page. The expressions on the cats are priceless. Most of the photos depict either a cat alone or with a child. The index is on the last page, 48 and covers everything from cat grass, drowning (kittens can fall inside toilets), hissing, microchips, training on a leash to vaccinations. MY CAT: How to Have a Happy, Healthy Pet does not mention life expectancy, something my son was interested in learning about. Chapter 2 does break down how a cat should look before you bring it home and advises to have a vet look it over. This did not cover pet stores though. This should be done between 6-8 weeks. The domestic shorthair kitten will have a moist nose, bright eyes and shiny fur. MY CAT: How to Have a Happy, Healthy Pet is a great book, each chapter covers from 2-3 pages in an easy to read format for a child with accompanying photos and pictures to grasp the information. My son is nine, high functioning autism and loved learning about cats since he has an interest in a neighbor's cat. There is no age recommendation, but I would estimate from K-5th graders would gain insight into obtaining a cat or kitten. My son also wanted to know what other books were in this Pet Pals series, but it is nowhere to be found if they have books for other pets.
