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

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.
