Cat Heaven
By Cynthia Rylant
"Sweet comfort"
"Our vet sent us this book after our dear cat of 19 years died. It was such
a thoughtful and touching sentiment, and meant a great deal to us. I can't
recommend it highly enough. It is perfect for adults, as well as children.
A lovely book, with lush illustrations. And I will bet that you will find
a rendering of your own kitty in one of the pictures, if you look closely."

The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats
By Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson
"For anyone who loves cats"
"I have "been owned" by cats for as long as I can remember. Currently, I
am sharing my house with three of them. All of them have very distinct personalities
and enjoy different things. I would love nothing more then to spend a year
of my life observing them and all their little quirks. That is what Jeffrey
Moussaieff Masson has done in "The Nine Emotional Lives of Cats". I am not
familiar with his other works, but as a cat lover, I just couldn't resist
this book."

The Cat in the Hat
By Dr. Seuss
"One Classic that should be in every parents' collection"
"He may be an old standby, but he never lets us down. When in doubt, turn
to the story of the cat that transformed a dull, rainy afternoon into a magical
and just-messy-enough adventure. There's another, hidden adventure, too:
this book really will help children learn to read. With his simple and often
single-vowel vocabulary, the good Doctor knew what he was doing: hear it,
learn it, read it--laughing all the way. The Cat in the Hat is a must for
any child's library."

Natural Health for Dogs & Cats
Richard H. Pitcairn, D.V.M., PhD & Susan Hubble Pitcairn
"A MUST READ"
"This book was actually an "upgrade" for me as I had the Pitcairns previous
addition. I am thankful this husband and wife team decided to update their
work as it was needed. The old book was written in an age when fewer people
had access to good quality natural food stores with their now common staples
of herbal and homeopathic remedies. Reflecting recent research, and continuing
the constant educational crusade of alerting the human companions of dogs
and cats to the truth about pet food, the Pitcairns continue to offer alternatives
to highly-processed, poor-quality food that literally kills (or drastically
shortens the life) of our beloved dogs and cats."

Twisted Whiskers
By Pam Johnson
"This book should come attached to your cat"
"As a Pet Sitter, I deal with kitty problems all the time. At Holiday Season,
I buy this book for all my new clients. It is the best thing you can do for
your cat and for yourself. Everyone appreciates how much they can learn from
this little gem of a book; but mostly the cats benefit. They live longer,
healthier and happier lives. As far as I am concerned Pam Johnson is the
Cat's Meow."

The New Encyclopedia of the Cat
By Dr. Bruce Fogle, DVM
"Wonderful"
"I have many cat books, but this one is my most prized. Filled with an incredible
amount of information and gorgeous photos, The New Encyclopedia of the Cat
is a cat enthusiasts' heaven. I also own The Encyclopedia of the Cat, and
I was slightly disappointed that it didn't have the amount of new content
that I thought it would. Otherwise, I love it. It's easy to read, easy to
understand, absolutely purr-fect!"

Touch and Feel Kitten
By DK Publishing
"A Definite Favorite"
"I bought this book for my daughter when she's nine months old. Now six weeks
later she still smiles with delight everytime I take it out for her. Besides
exploring the different textures, she's fascinated with the cutout on the
cover that shows the kitten's fur. Although she likes her other books, normally
she's too impatient to sit through reading a whole book, but this book I
have to read to her two or three times before she would let me take it away.
I will definitely buy other touch and feel series. I feel that they are a
terrific introduction to get her to love books."

Think Like a Cat
By Pam Johnson-Bennett
"Excellent book on cat care"
"I am a new cat owner and needed a good book on cat care and training. This
book is the best I have read so far. It is very comprehensive and is very
easy to understand. Everything is spelled out in clear and concise terms
for us new cat owners. Even people who have had cats for years will benefit
from the material in this book. I would recommend this book for anyone with
a cat or contemplating getting one."

stray and feral cats in our neighborhoods. As the preface states: "it is
a definite how to guide for helping the millions of stray and feral cats
currently living outdoors."

Disposable Animals - Ending the Tragedy of Throwaway Pets
By Craig Brestrup
"First book to give a realistic alternative"
"Like many people, I have always hated that millions of healthy adoptable
animals were killed, even painlessly by humane societies. Unfortunately,
I could never think of any other alternatives on how to handle the pet overpopulation
problem. While Craig Brestrup acknowledges that his solution will not be
without imperfections, DISPOSABLE ANIMALS is the first book which I have
read that gives a realistic strategy."

"Castaway Cats in Triumph!"
"Pssst! Here's a book that tells you the very best place to find a cat. Perhaps
you've heard negative or scary things about animal shelters. If you, like
many people, are a little nervous about entering a shelter to adopt a cat,
grab a copy of Shelter Cats by Karen Commings. This books gives you the courage
(and the knowledge) to choose the right cat for you. It also banishes many
animal shelter myths and describes the great things that shelters nationwide
are accomplishing for cats. An informative book full of tips and tales, Shelter
Cats should be required reading for anyone who steps through shelter doors
to adopt a cat!"

Out of Harm's Way
By Terri Crisp
"Amazing!"
"I truly loved this book. Staying up until midnight some nights reading,
it kept me wanting to read on to the next chapter. After reading this book
I have a whole new perspective on how animals are treated. It never occurred
to me that animals take that big a blow during natural disasters. I sympathized
with the mistreated animals, and laughed at the comical creatures. I would
suggest this book to anyone, animal lover or not, it was a great book."
