Book review of "It's a Cat's World... You Just Live In It"
“Cats are not small dogs, and any cat owner will kindly tell you that cats rule and dogs drool.”
After reading this opening line to Justine A. Lee's new book, It's a Cat's World … You Just Live in It, we at the Haute or Not? spiffy reading palace just knew it was going to be great read, which is quite contrary to some our friends' experiences. These types of books, while informative and fascinating, are often dry.
Not Justine's book.
It’s a Cat’s World is a treasure-trove of cat trivia and information written in a fun, friendly, and colloquial way. More than a bland textbook on cats, Justine, an emergency and critical care veterinary specialist, takes her life experiences (both at the office and in her home, using her two cats, Seamus and Echo, as examples) and has written an enjoyable all-you-ever-wanted-to-know book on cats.
It's a Cat's World covers all kinds of subjects, such as “what is cat scratch fever?” “can I get herpes from my cat?” (no, ma'am), and even “should I dump my boyfriend because he doesn’t like my cat?” (hellz, yes).
From the serious to the silly to the strange, this book truly does give you the answers to things you wanted to know (especially those really dumb ones you were always too afraid to ask, such as “can cats cry?”), and the answers to things you absolutely need to know (such as “how many vaccinations does my cat really need?”).
But that's not all. Justine writes about what to look for when choosing a vet (hint: find one that owns a cat, or two), the curious world and history of kitty litter, how to make an antisocial cat more friendly, and other interesting tidbits -- all while using her extensive veterinary knowledge and irreverent humor.
A must-have for any cat lover, It's a Cat's World had us desperately wanting for more once we reached the last page. What can we say? She makes learning fun!
Oh, and for those of you looking for that perfect gift or stocking stuffer for pet lovers, look no more. It's a Cat's World and other great items can be found on Justine's Web site, www.drjustinelee.com.
An enjoyable and informative kitty read … oh, so very haute!
