How to Raise a Happy Cat: So they love you by Sophie Collins

 

This is a pretty basic cat care-taking guide and I don't think it will be all that helpful to anyone who already knows how to take care of their pet or who has owned a cat for a while. But for a first time cat-owner, I think this would be a nice gift. I love, love, love how the author urges against declawing and talks about what a cruel practice it is. The discussions about respecting your cat and avoiding bad interactions and the differences between cats and dogs were also very useful sections.

Also, it was nice that there were sections in the end that were devoted to the different age groups of cats, as kittens have different needs from senior cats.

Overall, super helpful for beginners and very well written with gorgeous pictures but not the most useful for me.

Thanks to the publisher for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review!
