From nutritional therapies and herbal medicine to osteopathy and acupuncture, this innovative handbook of cat care introduces a range of traditional and alternative healing practices that can be combined with modern veterinary medicine to promote a healthy cat.
The best thing about this book is the pictures, but I have to say right off that your child might find some pictures a little disturbing. My son was really worried about the cat having an acupuncture treatment.
That said, it was a very helpful book. We just adopted a stray and now she's having kittens. I really wanted some insight into cat behavior and cat care. A lot of the alternative treatments described in here seem a little far-fetched. I think they could help humans, but I'm not taking my cat in to the chiropractor. That said, if YOU would take your cat to the chirorpractor, this book would be very helpful. It also covers basics like house training, nutrition, and health disorders. The book is divided into sections and colorcoded for each one. It's very easy to follow and understand.
Great book for cat owners;, however if the alternative treatments are not something you'd pursue, you may just want to check it out from the library like I did.
