Hey there! Thanks so much for joining me here at Author Central andbrowsing my various books. I'm an equal opportunity pet lover--currently living with Magical-Dawg, Seren-Kitty and Karma-Kat, you'll see them in my author photo. Nothing gets out of my office without their paw-printof approval.

Both of my kitties showed up as dumped kittens on the back porch. WHO would throw away such wonderful creatures?! While both of them are now grown-up cats, the kitten inside still comes to the surface and quite a lot of Seren-Kitty's experiences you'll find in this COMPLETE KITTEN CARE book (even her picture). I used the introduction section on cat-to-dog and cat-to-cat when first Magic arrived and then just last year Karma showed up. The leash training and crate training tips I've also used with my furry wonders, and of course all the kitten care and health information applies to mine--and your cats, too.

Kitten-hood lasts such a short time, and we want it to be sweet and fun for both the baby and us. And we want the relationship we create during this time to last nine-lives and beyond. All the information (and the SQUEEE! cute kitten pictures) are designed to help you do that.

I'm sharing these tips because not everyone can afford or can locate a qualified cat behavior consultant. You'll find prescriptive how-to advice here, and in my other cat behavior and cat health care books, for as your kitten grows into an adult cat. Since most of us have more that one cat, you may want to take a look at one of my other books sooner rather than later.

Check out Complete Care for Your Aging Cat as well as ComPETability: Solving behavior problems in your multi-cat household, and ComPETability: CATS & DOGS.

THE WHOLE KITTEN CABOODLE! This is it--the one book you need when you're ready to add a new kitten to our household. This award-winning book offers a veritable "Kitten 101" packed with all the must know feline facts.

"...Very complete, addressed the most important aspects of kitten care. I especially liked that Ms. Shojai addressed society's penchant for the 'disposable' -- reminding people that acquiring a pet means 'for life,' not just until the cuteness wears off."
-- Pat Jacobberger, CFA Allbreed Judge
