Today, approximately 27% of households in the United States own at
least one cat. This comprises a total of almost 60 million total
pet cats. An 8 billion dollar pet food industry and the more than 7
billion dollars that pet owners spend on veterinary care each year
provide tangible evidence of the increasing importance that
companion animals have in our society. Additionally, the bond that
owners have with their cats and the many health benefits that are
afforded by this bond have been the topic of numerous research
studies in the past 25 years. The cat as a cherished companion is
here to stay, and many owners, students and pet professionals are
eager to learn more about man's OTHER best friend, Felis
catus.
"The Cat: Its Behavior, Nutrition and Health," the textbook of
the cat, is written as a companion book to "The Dog: Its Behavior,
Nutrition and Health." This book provides pet owners, undergraduate
students and pet professionals with a complete guide to four
topical areas that are of interest. These are: The history of the
human-cat relationship; behavior of the domestic cat; feline
nutrition; and feline health and disease.
"The Cat" will fill the need for an academic textbook for
undergraduate animal science courses, veterinary technician
programs, and cat care or breeding classes. It will also serve as
an important resource for pet professionals such as breeders,
exhibitors, groomers, and veterinary practitioners.
