The only fully comprehensive guide to “all things feline,” from the host of Cat Chat on Martha Stewart Living Radio.

Finally, a definitive book that delivers many unknown facts about every aspect of caring for and sharing your life with a cat, ranging from proper nutrition and strange behavior to medical care and multi-cat households, to grooming and geriatrics. The Cat Bible explains the mysteries of feline behavior to owners who are devoted to their cats without being able to fully understand them. It offers straightforward solutions to the problems that cause people to give up their cats, many of which are preventable, including litter box avoidance, furniture scratching, and physical ailments.

There are more than 90 million American households that count cats as family members, but they are a vastly underserved population, devoted to their kitties, yet bereft of all the public attention, programming, and print devoted to dogs. Now, bestselling author and investigative journalist Tracie Hotchner offers them The Cat Bible, with straightforward, fact-filled solutions to health and behavior problems, based on years of research into the real reasons behind these issues. In the same warm, straightforward style that attracts devoted listeners to her radio shows, Tracie tackles controversial topics such as the truth about commercial dry pet foods and their dangers, bringing readers the latest facts on every topic that affects a feline’s well-being.

Tracie Hotchner is the author of The Dog Bible: Everything Your Dog Wants You to Know (Gotham Books, 2005) and the million-copy bestseller Pregnancy & Childbirth, for which she appeared on national talk shows ranging from Today to Oprah. Tracie’s two areas of pet expertise have made her a national radio personality twice over, and she hosts two live, weekly call-in shows: Cat Chat on Martha Stewart Living Radio and Dog Talk, her own NPR show, produced by WLIU.FM at Southampton College.
