About the author

David Conrad Taylor, BVMS, FRCVS, FZS, was a British veterinary surgeon. He was the first veterinary surgeon to specialise in zoo and wildlife medicine. Taylor worked with zoo and wild animals from 1957, acting as a consultant on the treatment of some of the rarest species on Earth. He was world-renowned as an expert in marine mammal medicine.

In the mid-1970s and early 1980s, Taylor wrote a popular series of autobiographical books that charted his life and experiences as a "Zoo Vet". These books were adapted for Television in a drama series, One by One. He continued to be a prolific writer until his death. [wikipedia]

Reviews

[Leo Postovoit · Rating 4 out of 5]

A great guide to raising a cat. There's a few things that feel dated (especially around the discussion of training - we've evolved in the concepts of animal behavior). I also had to look up what a "hob" was because I'm not British. But overall, great book and I'm keeping it close!

I was planning to get a cat for a while so my mom gave me this book to read. I really enjoyed it and while I still very much love cats, it appears as if we might actually get a dog now. It's all very uncertain.

Might wind up with a turtle.
Or a pet rock.
I'm breezy.

This is actually a remarkably complete cat-care book. Great diagrams and photographs. More than everything you wanted to know about your cat.

"A complete guide to the health, care and behavior of cats" is an apt description. This book is an excellent resource for owners or owners to be.
