I don't know how The Cornell Book of Cats escaped me. When I recently saw a copy of it at a shop I frequent, I decided I must have this book. Boy, was I surprised to learn this great book is no longer in print.
The book has cat anatomy charts, descriptions of many, many cat health issues, divided up into different parts of a cat's body such as the sensory organs, circulatory system, and so forth. There are also sections about cat behavior, genetics, breeds, nutritional requirements, mating and pregnancy...
I admit although I've seen my girls' veterinarian spay cats many times (not my girls, though), and she explained what I saw to me, but it finally clicked when I saw the illustration of those parts of a cat's anatomy.
I've found this book in varying conditions of use priced at about $8 to $54. I wonder what might be done to get this book back in print, because books about cats with so much interesting information never go out of style.
PEE ES: You might also find this to be of interest!
Miss the girls? Not to worry, they'll be back tomorrow.
Mowzers! That sounds very fascinating and worth watching for at used book stores!
