Step by Step Book About Siamese Cats (Step-By-Step Series)

Rating:
Summary: The pill goes down if the cat is upside down? Oh no!
Review: On the positive side, I found that the author's love of the breed was apparent in her warm comments, and I think potential or new owners of Siamese cats would find some helpful information here. However, since this book was published in 1989, some of the information is dated, such as the statement that none of the commercial cat foods should be fed exclusively because none are complete diets. I was alarmed by the technique used for getting a cat to swallow a pill - by holding the cat upside down! Don't buy this book. There are a number of current books available on owning or, more accurately, being owned by a Siamese cat! I recommend "Guide to Owning a Siamese Cat" by Brenda Yule (1997); "The Complete Siamese" by Sally Franklin (1995); and "Siamese Cats, Everything about Acquisition, Care, Nutrition, Behavior, Health Care, and Breeding" by Marjorie McCann Collier (1992).
