Holistic Cat Care ROCKS!!! September 21, 2009

I absolutely love this book!! Having owned cats all of my life, I only wish I had this type of book sooner! Dr. Yarnall is passionate about her commitment to holistic health care for cats. Having bred 11 generations of gorgeous champion Tonkinese cats, she knows what she's talking about. She is the quintessential expert with a vision that includes optimum health for cats! You only have to look at the radiant photos of the cats in the book to know that they are living optimum lives. The book is very easy to follow and is beautifully crafted with photos that make you fall in love with each cat! Anyone who has a cat should have this book! This is a timely release as we ponder holistic and anti-aging regimes for humans. We must consider, why not cats as well? Let's eliminate disease, and costly vet bills and replace with good nutrition! I also enjoyed that fact the Dr. Yarnall has written this book in such a way that its methods can be applied gently, not in a rigid way. As all dietary adjustments require time and patience you can make small adjustments that will make a difference. No "cold turkey." We know humans have difficulties going onto raw foods, so with a mature cat such as mine, I would introduce this regime a little at a time to ensure success. Of course, the cats get energized from all the good food and vitamins! I would love to be able to extend the healthy years of my cat's life! While reading through the text, you can tell that Dr. Yarnall has considered this factor in letting the reader know that even minor improvements will make a noticable difference in the quality of life and health of our beloved pets. I was extremely interested in the vitamin suggestions. I can't wait to incorporate these changes into the regime of my cat. And, if and when I ever acquire another kitten, I would surely start that kitten on this regime. The bottom line is Dr. Yarnall truly cares about animals, and this book is proof of that! A joy to read and an excellent Christmas gift for any cat lover you know! Love, love love it!

Love! Love! Love! What a beautiful, well written book on caring for your feline friends. I have been following Dr. Yarnall and her guidelines ever since I read her first book on cat care, and I am so happy that this new book is now available. My cats are absolutely beautiful and healthy ever since I began following her easy to follow suggestions for supplementation and diet. My 16 year old cat looks so good for his age, still playing like a kitten with his 6 year old younger counterpart. You can barely tell them apart. Their coats are silky and smooth and I can't remember the last time they needed a visit to the vet. The book is a pleasure to read with beautiful captivating pictures of all types of cats and a wealth of invaluable information for all animal owners and lovers. This new book packs in so much information in a very readable format that is extremely easy to reference. I wouldn't dream of owning a cat without reading this book first. My only wish is that she writes another book for dogs as my two chihuahuas are feeling a little left out.
If you are a new cat owner, or are interested in learning how to take care of your animals holistically. This is the book for you!! Will make a fabulous XMas gift to any animal lover!!!
A MUST READ! September 15, 2009

WOW! I'm so excited this new book is out! I have cared for my 9 year old kitty all her life on the recommendations Dr. Yarnall wrote about in her previous books. I have a kitty from Dr. Yarnall's breeding program, and I follow the recommendations she makes for my kitty's feeding and care. She's a super healthy, beautiful, and affectionate 9 year old girl, and I'm lucky to have her, as I understand Dr. Yarnall has discontinued her breeding program. If I ever have any more cats (or even dogs), I will feed them the supplemented raw recipe and care for them naturally, as I have learned from reading Dr. Yarnall's books. I've seen the wonderful results it produces (especially compared to the condition of the animals of even family and friends fed commercial pet food), so there's no way I'd ever stop! I love the updated information in this book, as well as the new information. It is easy to understand, and the pictures are a beautiful new addition. I've been following Dr. Yarnall's work for a long time, and it hasn't always been easy to find a lot of other people who share the same views on natural pet care, especially feeding raw. However, more and more people have been joining the band wagon, so to speak, and realizing that we've been like sheep in believing what a lot of vets and the pet food companies tell us. It's good that more people are starting to think for themselves and trust their gut feelings when it comes to their pets. I'm going to be giving this book to a lot of people for Christmas!
A Must for Cat Owners September 21, 2009

I have Celeste Yarnall's previous book Natural Cat Care which is excellent, but this one that she has co-written with Jean Hafve is even better. First it is handsomely produced with wonderful glossy color photos of all different types of cats. More importantly it is super informative and is laid out sensibly so you can jump around from topic to topic easily. Though it rightfully touts a holistic health regiment for your cat, it also gives you helpful alternate measures to take if you cannot follow the regime completely. It is chock full of information in all areas of cat care but especially with nutrition and vitamins. As an owner of two new kittens born in April, we went from a one paw out of 5 rating in regards to the food we were giving them to 3 paws immediately after reading the chapter. This book is highly recommended for lovers of cats of all ages.

If you want happy, healthy, beautiful cats of any breed, then Celete's book is a "must have"! We are now the proud "cat parents" to 2 of Celeste's tonkinese cats. I have had cats almost my entire life. You can easily see the difference of cats fed with raw food and suppliments and those on store bought dry food. Yes this program requires more work on your part. However, the results are well worth the time and effort. Our animal friends deserve nothing less! The book is well written and easy to understand. You feel as though you are having a conversation with the authors. There are may resources listed to assist you. This make a great Christmas gift for the cat lover in your life!
