What If My Cat..? (Claire Arrowsmith)

A combination of helpful, practical information with a large supply of good humor in this detailed analysis of feline traits and behavior, and discussion of problems that often accompany cat ownership. Many cat owners who appreciate the value of having one or more furry feline friends around the house might occasionally become vexed when they have to put up with badly scratched up wooden furniture, feline bird-killing forays into the neighbor's backyard, bringing home a dead rodent, refusal to eat, or other little challenges that their cat might present them with. These and many other behavior problems are discussed in a series of more than 160 clearly numbered and humorously illustrated entries. More than just another pet manual, What if My Cat . . . tells both cat owners and soon-to-be cat owners the facts that other cat books leave out. The author also presents question-and-answer tables filled with expert advice in clear, jargon-free language. Color photos and illustrations throughout.

The Kitten Pack (Claire Arrowsmith)
The Kitten Pack offers a great deal of opportunity for personalisation and owner interaction. Information and forward planning schedules are recorded in the pack to help new owners focus on their new kitten's needs and welfare. The Kitten Pack promotes responsible kitten ownership in a fun and personal way. The system leaves no stone unturned when it comes to planning and caring for a kitten during its first year.
 
The Kitten Handbook (Book One) contains the most amount of owner interaction. Kitten's personal details are recorded in the book itself, there are check boxes to tick, places where photos can be inserted and medical records recorded. This book really focuses an owner on the procedures for grooming, socialisation, safety, training, diet and health issues.
 
The Owner's Handbook (Book Two) covers many of the same subjects as Book One, but in a more traditional 'guide book' way. This book contains blocks of copy, charts, bullet points and 'expert' and 'safety' tips boxes. Information is very easy to understand and is intermingled with uplifting and encouraging images.
