‘Cute illustrations and fascinating facts’Guardian

‘A perfect gift for any cat lover’ Reader Review | 5 STARS

______________

Cats are curious creatures. What makes them burrow into tiny spaces? Why do they sleep as much as they do? And, most of all, how can we give them the best life possible?

Dr. Yuki Hattori is Japan's leading feline doctor, and considers cats the most beautiful animals in the world. His advice comes with little illustrations showing exactly what to look for as a cat owner - including charts showing how to interpret their different meows, the direction of their whiskers, and the way their tail is pointing!

Cats may seem low-maintenance but careful consideration of where you put their water, how warm or cool they like to be, what name to choose, and how to groom them properly will make a life-changing difference to your cat. With understanding, affection, and respect, your cat will be more healthy and contented - and you'll feel happier too.
