Gets right to the point
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
Easterly isn't just a sensitive and knowledgeable writer. She's certainly that, but instead of offering up merely entertaining anecdotes and wistful musings, she gets into the helpful details straightaway. The book is slim and beautifully designed, and the photos and illustrations are easy on the eyes, all of which lends an effective visual frame to Easterly's excellent data and advice. This isn't a cute-kitty book. Those who are committed companions of older felines will find a wealth of compassionately practical and useful information in this terrific book. Highly recommended.
Great Book for Caring Cat Owners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
This is a great book for caring cat owners. It starts out explaining the aging process in cats, which is NOT as simple as the "seven cat years for one human year" formula we used to hear. There's information about preventative care, first aid, age-related problems, and - of course - the final decision you may have to make for your cat. There's even information about grief and mourning, both yours and that of other cats you may have."Your Older Cat" is full of photos, charts, graphs, sidebars, and other materials that make this an easily accessible book. Cats are not complainers, and if you have trouble figuring out when your cat is in pain, Easterly's book will help.This is not some thick, academic tome. It's a well-written, easily-read book you can turn to when you're worried. Or you can pick it up and enjoy the beautiful photos of cats. There's also a great resource section, with books, magazines, videos, and organizations listed.

Help your cat live longer

As the companion to several senior cats, I can attest to them truly being "golden" years. Cats are living longer than ever these days, and Your Older Cat will help make your senior cat's life one of good health, comfort and joy. Susan Easterly provides lots of information about your cat's aging process, the common health problems of older cats and how to prevent or treat them, how to keep your older cat active and how to enrich your older cat's life. I especially liked the charts, sidebars, resources and the chapter on alternative therapies. TLC and Easterly's book will help your cat live a longer life.
