I was given this on Friday. I haven't looked at it yet but just wondered if it's any good?
556pp :Crazy:
-
ive only read a bit but its part of my feline first aid course.
it is out of date though on a lot of stuff.
-
I noticed it was published in 1994 and I am sure a lot of things have moved on, CRF treatment and pain relief are two things that come to mind.
I am wary of self-help books when there are professionals to deal with things.
-
I've got the two vn training books even in there things have come on a bit, I only read them to understand things better, I'd never try and diagnose anything
finished the new vicky halls yesterday - she has catchat in the list of useful websites at the back, can't believe her cats name!
-
can't believe her cats name!
?
-
well its a dodgy word where I come from for lady bits but might not be in other places who knows!
-
I can't begin to guess :evillaugh:
No good googling "Vicky Halls Cat" :evillaugh:

Think so. Dawn F????????????????

I have had it for years and have to say I used it more when I was doing my Animal Science HND for that rather than as a reference book for my actual cats. Don't think its come off the shelves for about 5 years now though.
-
no the other one - the devon rex - maybe its a west london thing!!
-
Mangus?
Must be where you live Dawn :evillaugh:
Mind you, there isn't much talk about ladies bits in this house :evillaugh:
-
that is so rude I can't believe you wrote it down!!!! :evillaugh:
-
Mangus :evillaugh:
-
stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Oh well it must be a Southern thing cause I have no clue what it means!
-
Mark and I are both from London originally but he has no idea what I'm talking about, maybe it is as specific as one street in west london!
-
Yes I've got that book - had it for more years than I care to remember and its been well thumbed. I think its an excellent book, yes things have moved on a bit, but your basic cat physiology and stuff is still the same, so its a book worth having for sure. Its written by a commonsense vet and he also used to breed I think.
Dawn, I've never heard that word being used as reference to anything to do with bits.............. LOL!

its lovely isn't it, I got it because I was trying to understand genetics and found genetics for cat breeders a bit heavy going

Yes its great - I think The Book of the Cat might be the very first cat book I ever bought if I remember rightly. ;D
