Heard the author interviewed on NPR, Calling All Pets. She brought up some interesting facts about cats and the proper food and care and this book was given as a Christmas gift to my daughter who has two Russian Blue cats. The book arrived after Christmas, I watched the travels the book took to get to Portland through tracking. Could not figure out why a book that started in California was sent to Kansas and then back to Portland.?? Seems odd to me. But it finally got back to the west coast.
