Book Description
In this unusual book, Dr. Padwee and his collaborator Moolman, an author and documentary scriptwriter, combine personal experiences drawn from the former's many years as a New York City veterinarian specializing in Felis catus with much information about cats ('A cat has one hundred thirty thousand hairs per square inch on its belly') and cat care ('Have you brushed your cat's teeth lately'). They describe various breeds of cats, from domestic shorthair to Burmese and the exotic Korat, and give facts about feline afflictions, ranging from fleas to leukemia, including a chapter on zoonoses, diseases that can be passed from animals to people; while relating stories, both amusing and touching, about individual patients and their people--perhaps most notably a multilived puss named Pawline (after the heroine in a silent movie melodrama titled The Perils of Pauline) and the Simpsons, a wealthy family with 6 children and 22 cats who regularly reserved 16 train compartments to transport everyone to Florida for the winter. Make room on the pet shelves for this one. - Barbara Duree; 240p - YA: Fun and informative for teen cat lovers. BD-
