Great Books on Holistic Cat Care

Being the caregiver for a cat is a responsibility that includes paying special attention to the wellbeing of your furry, four-legged friend. You may already realize that cats are masters when it comes to disguising when they are having medical problems. They typically wish to appear confident, in charge, and capable. This means that cat caregivers need to be particularly observant of their cats and their behavior patterns. Looking for subtle cues and behavior changes is important, as this might signal medical issues ranging from ones that are minor to very serious.

One of the ways that cat caregivers can help their animals stay healthy and fit is to better understand their medical alternatives and what to do if there is a problem. Many cat caregivers may be considering holistic cat care. Luckily, there are many good options, ranging from acupuncture and massage to chiropractic. Additionally, there are holistic vets around the country that are experienced in putting proven holistic methods into action to improve the health of your cat. In this article, we will look at some of the best books on the market for learning more about holistic care for your cat.

“The Complete Guide to Holistic Cat Care: An Illustrated Handbook” by Dr. Celeste Yarnall works to outline the different options that are available to cat caregivers. If you are looking for a book that gives a good amount of attention to preventative care, then “The Complete Guide to Holistic Cat Care” is a good option. Preventative medicine and anti-aging steps are key parts of the book. The issue of nutrition is also given paramount importance.
