Description

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.
