 		Everyone loves kittens. They're cute, furry, full of energy and every little girl's dream. They also need care, consideration and preparation. In her newest book, Complete Kitten Care, Amy D. Shojai gives you the information needed to make a perfect pet choice and successfully become a kitten-loving household.

Shojai, the author of such titles as Competibility: A Practical Guide to Building a Peaceable Kingdom Between Cats and Dogs and The First-Aid Companion for Dogs and Cats, writes with humor and knowledge as she makes readers aware of such fascinating cat secrets as why cats:
  • love catnip
  • sleep so much
  • hate water
This fun-filled informative book is designed not only to allow owners to raise the best kittens possible, but to guide them in choosing the best for their family. With easy information access in mind, boxed text highlights technical information and special tips. Chapters are short with punchy titles. Once you consider the options and find your perfect kitten, you're told what to do before bringing it home-how to pet-proof and what shopping to do.

With Shojai, "Cattitudes" become clear as you progress to proper feeding, grooming and health tips. One section teaches you to recognize illness in a kitten, and the next will help you remain calm during 10 common emergencies. You will understand kitten training, games, talk and bad behaviors.

In the Feline Fascinations section, 10 favorite cat legends entertain and enlighten. The book has two appendices, including Web sites and resources. Shojai is a nationally known authority on pet care and behavior, a spokesperson for Purina and author of more than a dozen nonfiction pet books and over 300 articles and columns. With her easy, conversational writing style, this textbook of kitten care makes fascinating reading that you won't want to put down.

Engaging black and white line drawings by Wendy Christensen, as well as photographs, illustrate this informative guide. Solid, well documented information fills this essential addition to any cat or kitten lover's library.
