Cat or kitten? One or two? Lots of decisions go into adopting your "beautiful, smart, and playful" pet. This bright, engaging, and oh-so-helpful title in the American Humane Association Pet Care series takes kids through the process of choosing, and then caring for, a furry companion. Introductory chapters discuss the history of cat-as-pet, going back to ancient Egypt. From there the text tells readers where to get a catstressing the importance of not buying from a pet store. The all-important Taking Care of Your Cat chapter covers food, litter box, and napping requirements (18 hours of snooze time a day!), while Healthy and Happy tackles spaying and neutering. Lots of cuteness is on display in up-close photos. Further resources conclude this informative look at all things feline., Booklist April 1, 2013
