USA Press Release, 2009: |
| THE
NATURAL CAT:
The Comprehensive
Guide To Optimum Care
By Anitra Frazier
With Norma Eckroate |
|
|  Last
year, over ten-thousand claims were filed
against pet food companies after it was
revealed that food containing Chinese-made
wheat gluten laced with melamine, an industrial
chemical, had lead to the sickening and
death of thousands of pets. This negligence
on the part of pet food companies and
the United States Food and Drug Administration
has since raised awareness about the questionable
ingredients which makes its way into pet
food, encouraging some owners to turn
to organic foods, or even prepare their
own. Originally published in 1981, Anitra
Frazier’s now-classic handbook THE
NATURAL CAT was one of the first
books to advocate this type of natural
health care for animals. Now in available
in paperback from Plume Books, and
with illustrations, THE NATURAL
CAT: The Comprehensive Guide To Optimum
Care (Plume/$20.00/December 2008)
has been updated and expanded to offer
practical holistic cat care advice to
a whole new generation of owners.
With an increasing number
of pet care options available, it’s often
confusing for an owner to decide the healthiest
course. This new edition of THE
NATURAL CAT combines classic
and reliable advice on grooming, neutering
and spaying, common feline health problems,
elder cat care, behavioral problems, and
emotional bonding, with the latest information
available. Included is essential information
on: |
| |

canned foods and easy homemade options

Forty-four common health problems, including
symptoms and recommendations.

and cleaning a cat’s coat, eyes and
