I gave up half way through.

There was nothing wrong with the book per se. It was simply a repeat of other things that I’ve already read.

I found myself not learning anything new from it.

The content seemed to be recycled and didn't offer any fresh perspectives or insights.

It was a bit disappointing as I had initially expected to gain some new knowledge or understanding.

However, after realizing that it was just a rehash of familiar ideas, I decided it wasn't worth my time to continue reading.

Maybe in the future, I'll be more careful in choosing the books I read to ensure that they offer something unique and valuable.

Tokia vadovėlinė! She said that now it's even better to be in the waiting room near the TV, just in case one needs to look at something. And in general, she really helped mom convince to take Puka to the veterinarian. It was already clear that there were howls after noon and the little rain quickly died. But her eyes were so beautiful!

Rest in peace, love.

Tokia vadovėlinė's words showed her thoughtfulness. By suggesting to be in the waiting room near the TV, she provided a convenient option for anyone who might want to pass the time or look at something. Her help in convincing mom to take Puka to the veterinarian was also crucial. The description of the howls and the quick death of the rain added a touch of sadness to the situation. However, the mention of the beautiful eyes brought a glimmer of hope and beauty. Overall, the text creates a bittersweet atmosphere, with the final "Rest in peace, love" serving as a touching tribute.

This is the second time I am reading this wonderful article. Just recently, I adopted another adorable kitten. As I was going through the article again, I found it to be extremely useful and informative.

It seems to have advice for every single problem that one might encounter while raising a kitten. There is a wealth of details on behavior training, which happens to be my main area of interest.

It also covers important aspects such as playtime and feeding. Thanks to the article, I discovered a puzzle feeder. I had no idea such a thing existed before. And to my great delight, our new kitten absolutely loves it.

The article has truly been a great resource for me in taking care of my new furry friend. It provides practical tips and tricks that are easy to follow and implement. I am sure it will be just as helpful for other kitten owners out there.

I highly recommend this article to anyone who is considering getting a kitten or already has one. It is definitely a must-read!

Taking care of our little fuzzy friends is a rewarding yet important task. First and foremost, providing them with a suitable living environment is crucial. This includes a clean and comfortable cage or habitat, with appropriate bedding and hiding places.

Secondly, a balanced diet is essential for their health. Research the specific dietary needs of your furry companion and ensure they have access to fresh water at all times.

Regular exercise is also important for their well-being. Let them out of their cage or habitat for supervised playtime and exploration.

In addition, it's important to handle your little fuzzy friends gently and regularly to build trust and socialize them.

Finally, take them to the vet for regular check-ups and vaccinations to catch any potential health problems early on.

By following these simple tips, you can ensure that your little fuzzy friends live happy and healthy lives.

This book truly took an extensive amount of time to complete. I basically dedicated half a year to reading it, which means whenever I had the time and interest on weekends. However, it has made me feel fully prepared to adopt a cat, or rather, two, for the very first time. In early January, I adopted two 6-month-old kittens. They are quite big but as lively and rambunctious as kittens can be.


I deducted a star for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it is so detailed that it took me an incredibly long time to finish. Secondly, I believe some of the advice is either outdated. For example, there is no mention of automatic feeders or automatic fountains in the book. Considering the last edition is from 2011, perhaps they weren't invented yet. I'm not sure. Or some of the advice seems excessive. Really, do you expect me to clean my cat's ears and teeth regularly? Do you think I'm actually going to perform mouth-to-mouth breathing on my non-breathing cat? I think I'll just get them to the vet if they're not breathing instead.


Overall, it is a very comprehensive and thorough guide to cat behaviors. It covers pretty much any situation you could encounter with a housecat. It also has an extensive medical appendix and even a first aid chapter. But again, I think my primary reaction would be to get them to the vet. After all, I am a human doctor, not a cat one.


I highly recommend this book for anyone who did not grow up with cats but wants to adopt one or two. It provides a wealth of knowledge and useful tips that can help you become a better cat owner.

An extremely insightful book that comprehensively covers every aspect you could ever need to know about cat ownership! In a few months' time, we are set to welcome a kitten into our lives, and thus, we wanted to be well-prepared. The wealth of information in this book has truly opened our eyes and made us realize how much we need to get ready for its arrival. What I really appreciated about this book was its perspective. It not only told us what to do but also explained why, by thinking like a cat and understanding the reasons behind its behaviors. However, at times, I felt that there was an overwhelming amount of information. Additionally, the way the book ended, with page after page listing the various illnesses a cat can contract, was a bit of a downer. It wasn't the most uplifting conclusion. Overall, I would rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.

This book is molto interessante. It is one of the most complete books on cats that I have read.

However, towards the end, when it talks about pathologies, it seemed like reading the blurb of a human drug. It felt as if my three cats had, in turn, more than one of the mentioned diseases!

Nonetheless, I still recommend it. The information provided in the earlier parts about cat behavior, care, and different breeds is extremely valuable and well-presented. It gives a comprehensive understanding of our feline friends.

Even though the part on pathologies had a bit of an odd feel, it doesn't overshadow the overall quality of the book. If you are a cat lover and want to know more about cats, this book is definitely worth a read.

You might just discover some new and interesting facts about your furry companions.

I sure hope the updated and revised edition is much better than this one.

There are a lot of outdated references here. It seems that some of the information is no longer relevant in today's context.

However, the practical information about caring for a cat is still applicable. It provides useful tips on feeding, grooming, and keeping the cat healthy.

This is a thorough review of cat ownership, which would be especially helpful to a new cat owner or someone with special circumstances. For example, when introducing a cat to a new pet, place, or person, there are many things to consider.

There are also many helpful thoughts given regarding training and overcoming behavioral problems. The author offers practical advice on how to train a cat to use the litter box, come when called, and more.

I will check this out from the library if any come up.

For more details on training, I liked The Trainable Cat. It seems to be a comprehensive guide that covers all aspects of cat training.
