The experts reveal how to interpret and understand your cat's symptoms and what steps to take to ensure its health.
This comprehensive and practical book is designed to assist cat owners in understanding their pets' bodies and health based on signs and symptoms of disease, and in determining the most common medical problems that might cause particular symptoms. Adopting the "decision chart" format from popular symptom guides for human ailments, such as the American Medical Association's Guide to Your Family's Symptoms and Take Care of Yourself, five leading veterinarians have designed a user-friendly chart system that will guide a pet owner from noting the symptom and observing the cat's behavior to understanding the associated signs of an illness, the possible conditions, and the best steps to take. Filled with more than 150 charts in an easy-to-follow two-color format and medical drawings, The Veterinarians' Guide to Your Cat's Symptoms is the indispensable reference for cat owners. It not only considers the problems of sick and injured pets, but also addresses the needs of healthy animals. It has all the information a cat owner needs:
¸ What a healthy cat should look like ¸ Flow charts to the 200 most common symptoms ¸ Behavioral issues, such as spraying and clawing ¸ Emergency first aid, including transporting an injured cat ¸ A glossary of veterinary diagnostic tests and medical terms
With this unique combination of medical information and advice, plus an innovative chart system, The Veterinarians' Guide to Your Cat's Symptoms will ensure that your cat really does have nine lives.

Cats have a way of walking into our lives and making themselves
right at home. No cat lover can imagine life without a feline
presence - even if it is as fleeting as the occasional conversation
with a neighbourhood stray. Meow: A book of happiness for cat
lovers is a compendium of delightful quotes that capture the
essence of feline fascination. From Mark Twain to Ernest Hemingway,
you'll be surprised how many famous names appreciated the company
of a feline friend. Some of the quotes are from famous names,
others not; some are philosophical, others light-hearted - and all
are memorable. Featuring beautiful and heart-warming photography,
and presented in a high-quality gift format, this bestseller is a
book to be enjoyed, treasured and dipped into again and again. The
ultimate gift for cat-lovers everywhere.
Fold your message into the paws of a cuddly kitten! With folded
hugging arms and scored waists for a seated display, these 12
die-cut kitten cards are ready for sending paw-sitive thoughts and
good mews.
The cult classic is back! This petite 15th anniversary hardcover
reissue keeps all the original mystery and magic of cat dancing
delightfully intact. Perpetually ahead of its time, Dancing with
Cats presents scores of delightful and inspiring photographs of
people and cats engaging in their favorite dance routines as well
as moving testimonies of the personal transformations brought about
through this uniquely joyous form of human-animal connection.
Dancing with Cats will have a new generation of cat lovers (and
their cats) jumping for joy-and cutting a rug-in no time.
Time spent with cats is never wasted. Comforting, cuddly, cute...
What could be better than the presence of a fabulous feline
fur-ball? As well as being totally adorable, cats are fiercely
independent, curious and mischievous – and they make wonderful,
low-maintenance companions. Research has shown that a purring cat
on your knee – or quite possibly lying across your computer
keyboard! – is the perfect antidote to stress. It's no wonder
these superior beings have inspired many a bon mot or wise insight
over the decades. Packed full of wonderful quotes as well as
fascinating snippets of information, this little book is the
purr-fect gift for any cat lover. 'In ancient times cats were
worshipped as gods. They have never forgotten this.' Terry
Pratchett. 'Unlike a human smile, purring cannot be, as far as
anyone knows, faked.' Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson, The Nine Emotional
Lives of Cats: A Journey Into the Feline Heart, 2002. 'Dogs come
when they're called; cats take a message and get back to you
later.' Mary Bly. 'Cats have it all – admiration, endless sleep,
and company only when they want it.' Rod McKuen.
25 postcards featuring artwork from The Book of Cat Poems
illustrated by Sarah Maycock. Features the feline friends inspired
by the poems of John Keats, Margaret Atwood and Oscar Wilde among
others, alongside short quotations from the works on the back.
Beautifully packaged in a paperback case. Each card has space on
the back for your personal message.
From the author of A Christmas Gift from Bob, the original
bestseller and heartwarming story of the life-saving friendship
between a man and his streetwise cat '[Bob] has entranced London
like no feline since the days of Dick Whittington.' (Evening

'Reminded me how amazing having a cat can be' (Glamour) * * * * * *
* * The uplifting true story of an unlikely friendship between a
man on the streets of Covent Garden and the ginger cat who adopts
him and helps him heal his life. Now a major motion picture
starring Luke Treadaway. When James Bowen found an injured, ginger
street cat curled up in the hallway of his sheltered accommodation,
he had no idea just how much his life was about to change. James
was living hand to mouth on the streets of London and the last
thing he needed was a pet. Yet James couldn't resist helping the
strikingly intelligent tom cat, whom he quickly christened Bob. He
slowly nursed Bob back to health and then sent the cat on his way,
imagining he would never see him again. But Bob had other ideas.
Soon the two were inseparable and their diverse, comic and
occasionally dangerous adventures would transform both their lives,
slowly healing the scars of each other's troubled pasts. A Street
Cat Named Bob is a moving and uplifting story that will touch the
heart of anyone who reads it. IF you love A Street Cat Named Bob,
don't miss The Little Book of Bob, the new book from James and Bob.
You can take a cat to water but you can't make it think. Last
summer, Chris Pascoe decided to do something monumentally stupid.
He decided to stay at home with his two-and-a-half-year-old
daughter Maya and disaster-prone tabby Birmingham, Brum for short.
And also with Brum's rather vicious live-in-partner-girl-cat Sammy,
who he intended mainly not to wake. Let biting cats lie. Why he
believed time with Brum would, with all the years of contrary
evidence, be quality he's not at all sure . . . The result is a
series of tales of death-defying feats. Paddling pools, gazebos,
small birds and kitchens - all aspects of normal life can take a
dangerous turn with the presence of Brum. Pascoe tries to train the
tabby, restrain the tabby and even researches the stories of other
danger cats in a bid to keep Brum alive a bit longer. And
amazingly, despite the efforts of his exuberant two-year-old with a
plastic mallet, he still is.
A stunning, exciting story from acclaimed author Dan Smith - author
of the Carnegie Medal-nominated Nisha's War. Berlin, 1961. Anja and

huge barbed wire fence is built between their apartment blocks,
everything changes; their city and family are divided by the Berlin
Wall. In the West, Anja is sure it will be taken down, but Monika
is afraid. Her world is changing: neighbours keep disappearing,
others become spies and shadowy threats lurk around every corner.
Then, Anja discovers that Otto has found a way across. And if he
can reach Monika, so can she ... An emotional, atmospheric story

Nisha's War, My Friend the Enemy and She Wolf A high-stakes

language, offer a mass of practical ways to raise your pet’s
happiness levels, and show you how to connect with them in the way
they’ll love best. Building on recent scientific developments
into animal behavioural science, this book's methods aim to
increase inter-species understanding and encouraging the
behaviour you do want, while discouraging the behaviour you
don’t. Divided into 6 chapters, each of which contains plenty of
easy-to-follow activities which owners can carry out themselves,
this book will become an invaluable resource for building and
strengthening the bond between human and cat. Sections include: How
you can get to know your cat better;Â How to develop
happiness in different areas, from exercising to playing;Â A
guide to different stages in a cat’s life and at how to tailor
activities to a kitten or to an ageing cat  Perfect for cat
owners who want to get to know their feline friends as individuals,

of customized ideas for having fun with their pet, as well as
explaining behaviours that they may have previously found baffling.
