From, November 15, 1994
To match its similarly titled sourcebook on canine care, the
American Animal Hospital Association (representing the nation's
small-animal veterinary practitioners) set journalist Sussman to work
on facts about felines. The book's first section reviews cat breeds
and behaviors, sketching the history and describing the appearance
and personality of 25 long- and shorthair breeds and offering
comments on domestic cats' intelligence, vocalization, body language,
touch, smell, and social behavior. A middle section offers detailed
advice for owners on caring for their pets throughout their life
cycles, while the final (longest) section spells out causes,
symptoms, treatments, and, where applicable, preventive measures for
several hundred conditions and diseases. The AAHA Encyclopedia
includes an alphabetical "Signs and Symptoms" list, cross-referenced
to appropriate reading; chapters on problems common to male cats,
female cats, and kittens; a first-aid guide for emergency treatment
and poison control; and helpful illustrations. Mary Carroll

Dr. Nicholas Dodman, professor of behavioral pharmacology at
Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine and director of the
Behavior Clinic, turns his attention to our feline friends and their
mysterious minds in The Cat Who Cried for Help. Similar to
Dodman's discussion of dog behavioral problems in his popular first
book, The Dog Who Loved Too
Much, The Cat Who Cried for Help
examines aggravating cat habits and undesirable behavior, and shows
how modifications in such areas as diet, exercise, and environment
cause remarkable improvements in the majority of problem cats.
Divided into three sections, Dodman first tackles aggressive
behavior, followed by emotional behavior, and compulsive cats. With
examples from his own practice, Dodman intelligently communicates
symptoms, treatment options, and helpful tips for prevention. Vital
to his treatment is maintaining the cat's dignified and independent
nature, an objective sure to please those cat owners irritated by
certain kitty traits but concerned first and foremost for the health
and well-being of their cats. Praised by author
Elizabeth Marshall
Thomas as "a thoughtful and creative approach
to changing detrimental behavior," The Cat Who Cried for Help
is perfect for cat owners interested in better understanding their
fascinating feline.

What is a cat? The most enigmatic of creatures--both affectionate
and aloof, graceful yet powerful, a warrior and a napper. Roger
Tabor, a world-renowned expert on felines provides a fascinating look
at the mysterious world of the cat in Roger Tabor's Cat Behavior:
A Complete Guide to Understanding How Your Cat Works. Tabor
explains how a cat works both physically and emotionally. Crisp color
photographs and concise text provide an extensive view of the cat as
both a pet and a predator. The mechanisms of movement, the
significance of sleep, and the emergence of new "designer cats" are
just a taste of the diverse topics covered. Cats are becoming ever
more popular as household pets, leading to an increase in behavioral
problems. Tabor believes this is caused by the emergence of more
"indoor" cats. Undoubtedly this is a controversial issue with good
reasons for and against confinement. But whatever an owner's choice,
Tabor's commonsense advice will help those bored or stressed kitties.
Of course not all adverse cat behavior is related to a cat's
environment--some problems are just part of being a kitty, be it
spraying or clawing the furniture, and Tabor's tips will be
acceptable for both kitty and master

How-To Editor's Recommended Book
This is a beautifully illustrated, intelligent, straightforward book that contains just about everything you ever wanted to know about cats. It avoids the cuteness of many cat books, dealing instead with serious issues of conservation of wild cats and expressing the author's special fondness for mixed breed cats (or, as he calls them, "Moggies"), because, he maintains, they are the purest breed of cat and closest in genetics and behavior to wild cats. (Mercifully, Roger Tabor avoids the annoying affectation of using the pronoun "she" in referrence to all cats.) The historical information on how cats become our domestic pets is particularly fascinating, and the health advice and care instructions for cats are right on target and quite useful.
