The Cat Owner’s Manual
Scratch marks on your furniture. Dead mice on your doorstep. Stray hairs all over your clothes and pillowcases. It’s enough to make you cry out, “Why doesn’t my cat come with an owner’s manual?!?” And now-thank God!-she does.
Through step-by-step instructions and helpful schematic diagrams, The Cat Owner’s Manual explores hundreds of frequently asked questions: Which breeds interface best with dogs? How can I maintain a quality exterior finish? And why does my model always drink from the bathtub? Whatever your concerns, you’ll find the answers here-courtesy of celebrated veterinarian Dr. David Brunner and acclaimed author Sam Stall. Together, they provide plenty of useful advice for both new and experienced cat owners.
DR. DAVID BRUNNER has owned and operated the Broad Ripple Animal Clinic in Indianapolis, Indiana, for more than 20 years. His clinic has received the highest level of accreditation from the ASPCA.
He and SAM STALL are also the authors of The Dog Owner’s Manual.
