Dogs Are Better Than Cats: From a Dog's Eye View Book

This book is especially good at a few things: Cats' diets, other basic cat care (like talking about the pros, cons, and necessities of each variety of litter), and dietary/herbal/homeopathic/etc. remedies to common cat issues, from emotional problems to skin flaking to diabetes. Like most natural cat care advocates, this author recommends a raw diet, and accordingly, there is an entire chapter devoted to homemade-meal recipes. However, she also understands that not all cat companions are both willing and able to provide a raw diet for their cat, and discusses in-depth the things to look for and to avoid in commercial cat foods, and includes a list at the end of the book of suggested ones. I found her explanations about cats' dietary needs (including variations from cat to cat) and her ideas for non-med fixes to common cat problems (including things as simple as switching food bowls, as some bowls can cause skin allergies in cats) to be especially helpful.
