As far as cat care books go, i have not found this book to be incredibly helpful. I have found some interesting information in it, i totally agree with the Humane Society's philosophy and i would recommend this book to someone who is contemplating getting a cat, but when i go to look up something, like a health care concern, grooming concern, or other general question about general day to day experienced cat-owner stuff~i can't find answers here (tho i must admit i am often frustrated in show more that search in my many other books as well...) show less
Whenever I actually want to know something that would fall under the purview of a "Complete Guide to Cat Care," and I go pull this book off the shelf, it never has the information I want. It is more a book that might be helpful for someone who is considering getting a cat. It talks about why you shouldn't give animals as gifts, why you should keep your cat indoor only and other such information. If you have already gotten past that stage in the decision making...not so useful.
I really liked this book. It is thorough and gives tons of advice ranging from how to pick a kitten to how to care for the cat and how to deal with health emergencies. The only thing I did not like was the lacking illustrations and pictures.

As a member of a multiple cat household, I found this book very helpful in encouraging amity and discouraging some of the less savory territorial behaviors. Recommended.
