Cat Calls: Wonderful Stories and Practical Advice from a Veteran Cat Sitter is a just published book that will make a great Valentine’s Day gift for any feline lover. Author Jeanne Aldon, a veteran New York City cat sitter, teamed with Susan Logan, editor of Cat Fancy magazine. Together they chronicle Aldon’s more than 35 years of cat sitting tales as she cared for people’skitties when their owners traveled.
I am not a veterinarian or a behaviorist,” says Aldon on her webpage http://www.jeanneadlon.com, “but I have cared for hundreds of cats and know a thing or two about making the best possible lives for you and your kitties. I enjoy sharing what I have learned about cats (and) I am happy to share my common sense advice with you.” Aldon appears on CatChannel.com where she writes a weekly column as a cat expert.
The book contains stories of encounters with ordinary people and their cats plus celebrities like John Lennon. But Aldon says the book is not just full of cat stories. It has plenty of common sense cat care advice. “People ask me all sorts of questions but there are some basics that are always important to cat owners. These include food, litter, health care and lifestyle.”
She includes a Cat Care section for advice and tips. Other sections include information about kitty healthcare, feeding kitty, cat behavior, and more. A handy index in the back quick references everything from cat toys to automatic feeders.
Cat Fancy editor and co-author Susan Logan is donating a portion of the sale of the book to Winn Feline Foundation which will help fund cat health studies. The Winn Feline Foundation is the only international non-profit devoted to solely funding studies on cat health. Nearly everything known about cat health began with funding from Winn. www.winnfelinehealth.org
Cat Calls is available through major book retailers and Amazon.com. Click http://www.amazon.com/dp/0757003443/ref=rdr_ext_tmb to order either the print or Kindle version.
Aldon concludes, "Our cats are loyal friends and affectionate companions. Always try to make sure to give them some extra TLC—they deserve it!"
