Cat Owner's Manual › Introduction › 

Welcome to the Cat Owner's Manual

Whether you have just acquired a new cat or are contemplating getting one, congratulations. This product's value as a companion and source of entertainment is legendary throughout the world. Favored by everyone from ancient Egyptian pharaohs to present-day big-city apartment dwellers, the cat is one of history's most popular, most recognized brands. With proper care and maintenance, it can become a favorite with you, too.

The cat is surprisingly similar to other high-tech devices you may already own. Like personal digital assistants, it is compact and portable. Like a home security system, it is capable of functioning autonomously for extended periods without direct human intervention. But unlike virtually any other product on the market, it is, for the most part, self-cleaning.

While most such highly developed consumer devices come with instruction manuals, cats do not. This is a major oversight, given that their operating system is bafflingly complex, and their mechanical functions are more finely tuned than those of the most expensive automobiles. It takes expert guidance not just to understand but to properly utilize the feline's breathtakingly sophisticated software and hardware.

Hence this book. The Cat Owner's Manual is a comprehensive user's guide that explains how to derive maximum enjoyment from your feline. It is not necessary to read it from cover to cover. If you have a question or problem, turn to any of the following chapters.

Well, controversy aside, it seems that there's a very long trail of followers of the "Felis catus" name. Wikipedia is one of them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cat

I was born in the big, frightening world of wind, rain, & noise, but I will NEVER be 'domesticated'. I tolerate the calm, cool indoor life,(& mommy), but I still want to run wild (as long as the door stays open!).

Quirk BooksThe Cat Owner's Manual is a basic guide to cat care.
The book was written by a celebrated veterinarian and an acclaimed author. It provides cat owners with well-researched and helpful information presented in a lighthearted manner. The creators chose to write the book in a style similar to what you'd find in "operating instructions" for a car or computer. Of course they--and we--respect the fact that our beloved pets are not products or machines!
