A truly excellent guide on bringing your brand-new cat home and having a blissful life with it. Johnson-Bennett delves into every aspect. She suggests getting down on your knees to view things from the kitten's perspective. This helps you understand their world better.

She also emphasizes the importance of encouraging daily play sessions. This not only keeps the cat entertained but also strengthens the bond between you and your feline friend.

In addition, she offers valuable advice on solving common problems like spraying and clawing furniture.

Although I wasn't able to finish reading this entire guide before it had to be returned, I'm certain that I will obtain it again when I'm closer to becoming a cat owner in the future. It's that good!

An excellent book awaits those who have limited knowledge about cats and are considering adopting one. It provides comprehensive information on our beloved furry friends, covering just about everything you need to know. However, for those who have been surrounded by cats throughout their lives, it may seem rather basic. Personally, I think I have only been without a cat for 7 days in my entire life. That was because, years ago, my cat passed away 2 days before we went on vacation. So, I patiently waited until the day we returned to go and adopt another one. If you desire a solid understanding of cats and how your life would be transformed if you welcomed one into your home, then this book is truly for you.

The encyclopedia of cat lovers, one might say, is almost like the Bible. Having a wonderful British shorthair at home myself, I really learned a great deal. Moreover, I also updated and in some places deepened my knowledge in the fields of grooming, care, behavior change, or playing with cats.

For example, when it comes to grooming, I discovered the importance of regular brushing to keep the cat's coat healthy and shiny. I also learned about different types of brushes and combs that are suitable for the British shorthair's thick fur.

In terms of care, I found out that providing a balanced diet is crucial for the cat's overall well-being. I started to pay more attention to the quality of the food and made sure to include all the necessary nutrients.

Behavior change was another area where I gained new insights. I learned how to train my cat to use the litter box properly and how to deal with unwanted behaviors such as scratching furniture. Playing with my cat also became more enjoyable as I discovered new games and toys that could keep it entertained and active.

Overall, my experience with my British shorthair has been both educational and rewarding. The encyclopedia of cat lovers has truly been a valuable resource in my journey as a cat owner.

In the book, a very large number of topics are reviewed - from the very acquisition of a kitten to the description of various diseases. However, if I were a number to read it before buying a cat, hoping to get acquainted with cat care and daily life with a pet, I would probably be scared by the information in this book - how many various things and concerns there are. It's like a super-mother's (whose child is a cat) almanac. It also seemed to me that most of the information is presented from a negative side, which does not add attractiveness to the information (for example, regarding the acquisition of a litter box - it names which ones are not suitable, rather than which ones are suitable. Or that if a cat starts not using the litter box, in MANY cases the pet is given away).

Well, it's good that such books are written, but still in some places there were already such excessive details as that - do not photograph a rainy kitten on a ledge or always have a full tank of gasoline in the car, in case for some reason it is necessary to suddenly go on the road. Or about using a tool to clean the dirt from the ledge, it writes "carefully follow the instructions. If you have doubts - call the manufacturer's toll-free phone number."

Finally, there is a not small section in the book about cat diseases. I read everything, but, to be honest, I don't really know what the use is, because for practically all diseases it is written to contact a veterinarian and in no way engage in self-treatment at home.

The book is useful and worth reading for every cat owner, but I think there are also better ones, especially since this one was written before 20 years ago.

This book played a crucial role in helping us reach a decision regarding whether or not to get a cat.

After carefully reading it, it firmly convinced us that we are indeed dog people.

We do have a great love for cats, but the authors' detailed descriptions of the process of getting your house ready for a cat or kitten truly made us realize that it entails a much bigger responsibility than we were initially prepared for.

The book was quite delightful until we got to the part about preparing for a cat.

However, in the end, we are glad that we read it as it provided us with valuable insights and helped us make a more informed decision.

It made us understand the various aspects and commitments involved in having a cat, which in turn, allowed us to determine that a dog would be a more suitable pet for us at this time.

Overall, this book served as a useful guide in our pet-owning journey.

Even if I am not ready to listen to all the advices from this book, such as not allowing my cats to go out, I still found it extremely interesting, reasonable, and exceptionally well written.

Just like the cats I have, this book has the power to make me laugh and also make me cry.

The medical appendix in the book is really nice. Although I would never do any diagnosis on my own (and the author would never suggest such a thing), once the vet has established a diagnosis, it serves as a quick reference. It helps to understand what can be expected, beyond the reassuring words of the vet.

This book not only provides valuable information about cat care but also touches on the emotional connection between cats and their owners. It makes me realize that taking care of cats is not just about following a set of rules but also about understanding their needs and emotions.

I would highly recommend this book to all cat lovers, whether they are new to cat ownership or have been taking care of cats for a long time.
