Veterinary medicine: small animals (pets); Cats as pets

In the past 25 years, science has made great advancements in the field of Veterinary Medicine. Of these advancements, many benefit our feline community. Where once a cat was considered old at 6 years, with a life expectancy of 8 to 10 years, they are now able to live longer and healthier lives, many cats into their late teens. On Older Cats presents a view of the aging cat in a most unique way. Rather than being too technical, the information is given in layman language, easily understood by anyone. The book begins with the first changes you would notice, the outward appearances, then progresses to internal changes and behavioral changes. Each item discusses, from eyes and ears to respiratory system and even sleep behavior is explained as normal functions followed by results of normal aging and expected problems. Chapter V, What You Can Do, covers everything from home care (diet and grooming to creature comforts), travel care and the most important health care for your older cat. There is also a section on alternative remedies, seldom found in other cat books. And, of course, a section on the emotional topics of euthanasia, pet loss and grieving. In a time where most shelters think of cats as old at four years, it's refreshing to find an author who feels that cats don't even reach their prime until after six years. The author has been privileged to observe many of her cats living into their late teens and early twenties. The author has taken scientific information and molded it with her hands-on experience to create On Older Cats, a book which would be a welcomed addition to any cat lover's bookshelf.

Judith, now in her 70s has spent over 50 years caring for cats and plans to do so for as long as she can. She has written numerous articles for cat magazines and animal newsletters. She is listed in many Who's Who in both Marquis and American Biographic Institutes and she has a diploma in Animal Science. She has many years of hands-on experience running Animal Helpline, which offers sanctuary to older or handicapped cats, as a no-kill shelter and retirement home. Jerauld Woodring, DVM received his degree in veterinary medicine from the University of California at Davis. Although he has adamantly refused to take credit for writing On Older Cats, he was kind enough to review it to make sure that Judith didn't get too far out of line. He started Northridge Veterinary Clinics in Yucca Valley, California in 1973, and has since retired.
