I actually own all of Pam Johnson-Bennett's books. My husband and I rescue and socialize cats, and foster them until adoption (an ex-semi-feral foster is actually demanding head kisses as I type. Don't worry, he is getting plenty of kisses). This was the last book I bought, and I really wish I'd gotten it sooner because while I personally prefer the depth of the other books and have found them invaluable in cat rescue and socialization work, I think this book would be a phenomenal tool for people who want a quick and reliable reference for their kitty.
I've previously wanted to give out copies of Think Like a Cat, but only one adopter ever took me up on the offer (they were a big reader, both nonfiction and fiction). Instead, I'll be buying copies of this book to have on hand to give to adopters, since this has all the basic info of the other books, just in a format that makes it quick and easy to get directly to the topic at hand. It's digestible, it's efficient, and it's still chock-full of knowledge.
I do highly recommend the other books, but this one is a fantastic start.

How to care for your cat
You may think having a pet, especially a cat, is fairly easy because cats seem so self-sufficient, but it can get really complicated without some eye opening advice like you can find in this book. This will be my third book from this author. I enjoy her conversational writing style and interesting and insightful cat stories and advice and I credit her with saving the life of my cat. I started out with "Think Like a Cat" which helped me get my place ready and then form a relationship with my first (and so far only) cat. The advice that saved my cat was about using break away collars. I have iron beds in my house which feature pretty scroll work on the head boards. My cat could jump off the side of the bed but she prefers to squeeze through the end where the scroll work is, and one day I came home to find her collar hanging off the bed, jammed into a wedge of the scroll work and stuck there. I had to work a bit to get it out. The vet later said she was alright, but if the collar hadn’t been break away, I could have come home to a strangled cat. Other useful advice is to get pet insurance, something I did recently after a friend’s cat almost had to be euthanized due to complete intestinal blockage from ingesting six hair ties and a shoelace (see attached picture.). Between the operation and other emergency services their bill will be around $3,500. I don’t use hair ties but I use rubber bands all the time, and while I don’t think she’s ever eaten any I can’t ever be 100% sure. Another friend’s dog had to be euthanized because they couldn’t afford the operation after his stomach got all twisted up, and the lack of choice to save your pet when they need you like that is horribly painful. The whole family went home and cried all weekend. If you want to take the best care possible of your cat I recommend reading this book (and other books by this author) because she clearly loves and understands cats and how to care for them.
