A must for every cat household especially with >1 cat.......2004-05-01

I can only recommend this book(must have) to every cat owner,breeder and Vet.
It is a little bit medical, but with little effort it is good to read.

It has 8 chapters:
1) History of domestic cat and cat breeds
2) Normal genetics, genetics disorders, development anomalies
3) Reproduction and reproductive disorders
4) Common infectious diseases of multiple cat environments
5) Behavior
6) Nutrition and nutritional disorders
7) Toxicology
8) Cattery design and management

What I miss in this book is a extra index within every chapter especially in chapter 4, so I made one my self. So you do not have to search a lot.

Chapter 8 I find to sterile especially for kittens growing up, I want to breed and grow kittens and let them live in a normal family environment and not in cages no matter how beautiful they are.
That you have to have some isolated spaces for diseases or giving birth that is another thing, but for daily living all my cats live with my family in a secure home and garden.
BTW: his first book is also very good: Feline infectious diseases, but also out of print :-((

The most excellent book for cat rescuers, fosterers, etc........2002-04-01

This is a book I've given to a number of people. It is EXCELLENT for anyone doing cat rescue, fostering cats, doing TNR (trap neuter return, to stabilize cat colonies).

It's not *that* hard to read! Really sets out and discusses many issues and problems of "multi-cat environment" (> 5 cats).

Highly recommended.

P.S. (October 12, 2006) Just heard they're working on a new edition!

An invaluable reference for cat fanciers.......2001-08-16

Diseases and Management in the Multiple-Cat Environment. Eight highly respectable authorities present practical information on problems unique to multiple-cat environments. They cover the following areas: History of Domestic Cats and Cat Breeds, J. Wastlhuber-Miller; Normal Genetics, Genetic Disorders, Developmental Anomalies and Breeding Programs, R. Robinson and N.C. Pedersen; Reproduction and Reproductive Disorders, H.G. Stabenfeldt and N.C. Pedersen; Nutrition and Nutritional Disorders, C.A. Buffington; Behavior and Behavorial Disorders, B.L. Hart and N.C. Pedersen; Toxicology and Intoxications, G.D. Osweiler and G.F. Grauer; Cattery Design and Management, N.C. Pedersen and J. Wastlhuber-Miller; Common Infectious Diseases of Multiple-Cat Environments, N.C. Pedersen.

A Great Resource.......2001-04-05

This book is one you need if you need detailed information. Except for behavior problems, there is everything you need to know about illnesses, breeding, kittening, genetics and other hard-to-find info. It has answered many of my questions to which I could find answers no where else.

I even sent one to my vet.......1999-10-13

I think this is the third one I've bought. I refer to it constantly - and get calls from people who know I have it. I even sent one to my vet. As Pederson explains - anyone with more than two or three cats is dealing with a multi-cat environment - a fact that both the cat owner and their vets need to acknowledge. Excellent section on setting up a cattery.
