1. I first heard of Barbara and James Peden through mutual
   friends who were also inspiring the world to nonviolence
   in all ways. In this wonderful book, Peden teaches us how
   to save our cats dogs and other pets from cancer, heart disease,
   blocked urethras, kidney dysfunction, food poisoning, ecoli or
   colon bacteria, salmonella, Mad Cow, Mad Pig, Mad Dog, Mad
   Cat and all the other spongiform encephalopathies, as well
   as all the toxic antibiotics, female hormones, mercury,
   arsenic, pcb's, pvc's, pbb's and other toxins in the flesh of
   animals.
   
   They are teaching all lions how to lie down next to lambs.

2 comments about Hairballs In the Morning: Surviving and Thriving in a multi-cat home.

1. I really enjoyed dthis book! Not only did it have some great information, the information was presented with humor mixed in, so it was also entertaining. I would highly recommend this book to anyone who has multiple cats, or is thinking of adding to their current single cat family.



2. This book has a lot of good information and it's also a really good read. I would recommend it to anyone owning (or being owned) by one or more cats. The fact that she loves her animals comes through loud and clear.

2 comments about Your Aging Cat: How to Keep Your Cat Physically and Mentally Healthy into Old Age.

1. This is a wonderful book to have even if your four-pawed friend is just a youngster, as well as being a good guide if you have an older cat, and you need help taking care of all the changes that can take place quite rapidly as an animal ages.
   Among the many instructive chapters, the one on health care is detailed and extensive, covering all the common ailments, with useful diagrams and treatment solutions.
   There's also a chapter on home care, with good tips on how to administer medication, flea control, and how to take care of emergencies such as burns, choking, etc.

   Chapter 5, "Physical, Mental, and Emotional Well Being" is a short but valuable one. It will tell you how to deal with the stressful situations in a cat's life, like moving, travel, and the introduction of a new pet into the family.

   Being a "cat person", I much appreciate the care and research that went into this book. The layout is excellent, with several nice b&w photos, easy to read print, "Veterinary Tips" at the end of each chapter from veterinarians across the country, and an occasional side-bar with highlighted and very helpful information.
   This is an intelligent, well written book that will serve your cat well and keep it purring from youth to old age.




2. This is a wonderful book, written with love and lots of essential information for the owner of an older cat. Great sections on nutrition and age-specific health problems. -- Gina Spadafori, co-author of "Cats For Dummies" (with Dr. Paul D. Pion)

4 comments about The Sphynx: The Hairless Cat (Kid's Cat Library).

1. It is a good book to learn basics about the breed - good recommendation for those not already knowledgeable with the breed.



2. I enjoyed this book but I wish someone would write a book in more detail on this wonderful feline!



3. This is a GREAT book on the Sphnyx cat. I have the book and the title of this book in the Amazon system is spelled incorrectly. The actual title is spelled the way the breed is spelled and should read, The Sphynx: The Hairless Cat. So ignore the first angry review - it's wrong!



4. I'll admit I haven't read the book, but why should I? The breed's name is the Sphynx not sphinx. If the title's incorrect what about the information? I'll wait until there's a book that at least has the breed's name right.

5 comments about World Voyagers.

1. _World Voyagers_ is a thoroughgoing delight.
   This handsome, hard-cover book (it even has a blue ribbon built in for keeping your place) tells how Amy P. Wood, her husband Philip J. Shelton and their cat Stewart P. Wood built a barn in their back yard in Maine, built therein a solid sailing ship, and sailed the thing around the world. They brought it home again to Maine, where they sold it. Now Phil is talking about building a bush/seaplane to fly in the Far North. (It seems the guy can do anything technical.) If there's a book about it, I want to read that one too.
   _Voyagers_ is rich in dialog, but in some of the best parts Amy is describing place and people they have encountered along the way. The book does seem to be in Amy's voice, though both people and even the cat are credited as authors.
   It is rich in photographs, virtually all of which are too small. However, making them larger would have made the book either unreasonably large or unreasonably expensive, or both. In one of the photos, Phil is nude (as he apparently often was) and we see his bare bum. No such pix of Amy, though. Pity.
   Being confined on a boat for months with just one other person sounds like it could be a trial. Amy and Phil took alternate days as captain, and seem to have managed the trip without bloodshed or even serious argument, mainly by showing kindness, consideration, generosity and respect for each other.
   Endpapers show rough maps of the voyage, and there's a glossary explaining most of the salty terminology likely to be inevitable in such a book.
   
   -----------



2. We echo the many accolades given to the "World Voyagers". It's a book that you can't put down or find something on every page to share with anyone within hailing distance. We espcially enjoyed Amy's analogies.
   This past fall we so appreciated having Phil and Amy as our guests to relate this adventure to the Pen Bay Alumni Chapter of the Maine Maritime Academy. Attending alumni represented nearly 5 hundred man years of maritime experience as naval officers,merchant ship captains,mates,pilots, and engineers. To say that we were intrigued and impressed with the combined talents and courage of this couple would be a huge understatement!!!

3. THE STORY OF AMY AND PHIL'S JOURNEY AROUND THE WORLD IN THE BOAT THEY BUILT IN GEORGETOWN, MAINE IS MORE THAN SIMPLY AMAZING. I COULD NOT PUT THE BOOK DOWN, READING STRAIGHT THROUGH FOR TWO AND HALF DAYS. THE SHEER AMOUNT OF COURAGE AND SKILL AND HUMOR NEEDED TO TRAVEL TOGETHER FOR THREE YEARS, TO BE VULNERABLE IN THE OPEN OCEAN AND THE VARIOUS COUNTRIES VISITED TAKES A KIND OF AUTHENTICITY AND INTEGRITY SORELY LACKING IN THE CULTURE OF TODAY THAT DICTATES DO EVERYTHING QUICKLY AND WITHOUT CONSEQUENCES. THE CONSEQUENCES OF A POOR DECISION ON THE HIGH SEAS OR VISITING A HOSTILE COUNTRY COULD BE LOSS OF LIFE. THIS BOOK SHOULD BE REQUIRED READING FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS TO GIVE THEM A TRUE PORTRAIT OF BRAVERY, CREATIVE ENDEAVORS AND HOW TO BE BE REAL IN A SOCIETY THAT HAS SLIPPED THE RAILS.

4. First Off....Amy and Phil have produced a volume that is one of the most beautiful/handsome books that I own...and...I Have MANY!! I found myself handing my copy to the "book -lovers"and librarians(each of whom have ordered their own copy) in my life...just to observe their reactions...a superb effort....I am currently stepping the masts and finishing up a similar cruising vessel..38foot wooden Double ender..with plans/hopes to take her to New Zealand. This unvarnished contemporary account of two circumnavigators and their joys and travails while circling the globe..accompanied by many beautiful photos....is priceless for it's honesty and detail. As an indicator of this book "as an experience" they have included a Blue satin Place marker...integral to the binding...which leaves a feeling of being..."cared for"...by the authors as you accompany them from Georgetown , Maine around the world and home again. Sailors will recognize many familiar mental scenarios as they decide whether to continue from the galapagos....when "HOME" in Maine tries to call them back....how they deal with illness and/or seasickness...for themselves or their beloved FELINE crewmember... decide how to handle the "boat kids" in many anchorages...no holds are barred...no punches pulled... We watch and read how they made THEIR decisions...and are left with the opportunity to make our own decisions/mistakes!! when the time comes!!
   
   WORLD VOYAGERS is authentic accounting of a Lifetime adventure....by a couple who have chosen to live their life TOGETHER, while recognizing that our contemporary lives are often fraught with emotional upheavals and "chapter changes"...family dilemmas and decisions that don't always "go as we might have planned". Congratulations to Amy and Phil on a job/book....WELL DONE!! Fare Forward World Voyagers!!



5. Amy and Philip and Stewart the cat's grand adventure deserved a magnificent, padded hardcover tome filled with great photographs and everything they left out of the website log. This is it. Only people who built their own boat and then sailed it around the world could tell a tale like this, then put it together in such a handsome package.

4 comments about Movie Cats.

1. Susan Herbert is in fine form as she shifts into the realm of motion pictures, punny titles and all. She proves adept at both movie stars and famous movie scenes. The focus here is on the classics, and sneak peeks on the Internet indicate there will eventually be a second edition going all the way up to The Lord of the Rings. Cat lovers, rejoice!



2. I adore Susan Herbet, who does an amazing job painting pictures of cats and incorporating them into famous stories and works of art. In "Movie Cats," Herbert recreates scenes from some of Hollywood's most famous motion pictures. My personal favorites include Mammy and Scarlett O'Hara from "Gone with the Wind," James Bond and his "Pussies Galore" from "Goldfinger," characters from "The Wonderful Whiskers of Oz," and a portrait of "Charlie Catlin." If you're a cat lover and a movie buff, you have to have this book!



3. Susan Herbert's cats have appeared as characters in paintings, Victorian settings and now they are going to the movies. Another sublime book of cat paintings as characters from a dozen movies. The one of the Godfather is worth the price of the book. As usual Herbert has done a marvelous job and the characters have charm and wit and certainly are a reason to smile.



4. This is really the most enchanting book of cat illustrations I've seen in a very long time. Even people who don't love cats that much seem to be charmed by it. Anyone who loves movies will wish there were cat versions starring Susan Herbert's movie cats.

1. I found all the information needed in it, must be in our library. I'm a new Pet's groomer, so the most we can read and study about is important.

2 comments about Meet My Cats.

1. I recieved this book as a birthday present from my own cat when I was very young...now I'm 20 and I still enjoy flipping through the pages of this book every now and then, especially with my cat beside me. This book will make you appreciate cats for their wonder and beauty, and I've always loved how Lesley Anne Ivory has the ability to celebrate cats just for being cats. Definately a must-read!!



2. I loved this book! It is excellent and is a must for every cat lover's shelf. You get to know Lesley Anne Ivory and her cats as much as if you had met them. One of the " much, much better books".
