What do you do to promote harmonious relations when your cat hates your fiancé? How do you raise kittens that will interact well with children? How do cats learn? Can you teach your cat to ring the doorbell or play dead? Are some cats despots? How do you know if a cat is depressed? Stressed? Sick? Happy? In fourteen information-packed chapters, H. Ellen Whiteley, D.V.M., answers these and hundreds of other vital questions. Each chapter includes a letter from a concerned cat owner and Dr. Whiteley's advice to that owner. Whiteley draws upon her experience as a house-call veterinarian for felines and her years as a pet columnist for publications such as The Saturday Evening Post, Woman's World, Cats, and others to write a book filled with interesting and insightful anecdotes about patients, clients, and readers that will keep you turning pages long after you've discovered the answers to your specific questions.
