Summary: Great cat book - even if your cats aren't old
Review: "Your Older Cat" by Susan Easterly is for every cat owner. Even if your cats aren't old, you should read this book. It provides state-of-the-art cat advice... techniques that most people haven't heard about yet that can help prevent problems in later years. And it gives comprehensive, compassionate advice for dealing with older cats. Very well written and organized, beautiful pictures and great design, "Your Older Cat" is fun and easy to read. I recommend it highly for yourself and others.

Summary: Excellent Source of Longevity Care For Your Older Cat
Review: This book is a marvelous source of preventive care information and solutions for older cat health problems. I am certain that I would still be enjoying my beloved Calico cat had I possessed this book prior to her departure to "cat heaven". This book is a joy to read. The myriad of photos contained therein are captivating. The text is very well organized and presented and one can not help but feel the love for animals permeating throughout.

Summary: Great Book for Caring Cat Owners
Review: This is a great book for caring cat owners. It starts out explaining the aging process in cats, which is NOT as simple as the "seven cat years for one human year" formula we used to hear. There's information about preventative care, first aid, age-related problems, and - of course - the final decision you may have to make for your cat. There's even information about grief and mourning, both yours and that of other cats you may have.

"Your Older Cat" is full of photos, charts, graphs, sidebars, and other materials that make this an easily accessible book. Cats are not complainers, and if you have trouble figuring out when your cat is in pain, Easterly's book will help.

This is not some thick, academic tome. It's a well-written, easily-read book you can turn to when you're worried. Or you can pick it up and enjoy the beautiful photos of cats. There's also a great resource section, with books, magazines, videos, and organizations listed.
