This excess weight can lead to diabetes, respiratory problems, and other ailments, shortening a cat's precious nine lives. Award-winning author David Alderton is here to help that fat cat slim down. He's created an illustrated, information-packed guide with essential advice on nutrition and metabolism, assessing your cat's health, exercise, medical problems, and looking after your feline's well-being. Comprehensive and thorough, it includes especially designed charts and checklists. Your cat will get a new lease on life!
