This is an excellent book that I checked out from the local library. I have four cats and two of them are going on ten years of age. As they get older their behavior has started to change and it has alerted me. Having two senior cats, one young cat, and a kitten has made my house interesting. While my human children are at school I find myself dealing with more cat issues. My pets are like my children and I want them to thrive. If you love your pets than this is a book that is meant for you.

I was hoping for the cat equivalent of the wonderful book Inside a Dog. Oh well. This is more of a generic cat owner's manual. Decent, but nothing special.

This book had some interesting stories but throughout it basically says "You're a horrible cat owner and this is why." Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm just consumed with guilt but I found this to be a very unpleasant and unhappy read. If you keeps your cats in the house and don't have an entire room dedicated to them, don't read this. You'll feel terrible afterward.

Overall, I thought this was a good book. There are a lot of beautiful photos of cats (if you can read through the book without finding at least one photo to make you go all soppy you're a stronger person than I am).

Vicky Halls takes the reader through a cat's physiology, the different breeds, how cats behave in the wild and then uses all this to explain what domestic cats need to be happy cats. I think it's fair to say she comes down on the side of letting cats go outside if they want to but she also gives advice about how to ensure your indoors only cat gets enough stimulation and exercise.

She also has a chapter which deals with how to tackle problem behaviour like weight gain, spraying, bullying etc as well as including a section for settling a new cat into your home and introducing an existing cat to a new cat/kitten/dog/child.

I think this would be a very good book for anyone new to owning cats (sorry, being owned by a cat) or considering getting a cat for the first time. I'm not sure how helpful it would be if you have a lot of cat experience but the photos are very cute.
