On Older Cats:
Second Edition

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.
