As you can tell, in this book Amy Shojai shares valuable information on how to care for your aging cat. The book is divided into two section. In the first section, Shojai discusses how cats age. Topics in this section include how a cat's body ages, her nutritional and exercise needs as she ages, and end-of-life decisions.
In the second section, Shojai looks at specific diseases common in aging cats in detail. Some of the illnesses highlighted in the book include arthritis, cancer, blindness, heart disease, hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus, kidney failure, and senility. I really like that Shojai discusses alternative therapies as well as conventional treatment options for treating diseases.
In my opinion, this is a fantastic resource for aging cats, and I plan to refer to it often over the years as Carmine and Milita age.
You can enter to win your very own autographed copy of the book with the Rafflecopter at the end of the post or you can purchase the book here (I do not receive any sort of commission if you use this link).
We encourage you to stop by and visit Amy Shojai's blog, Amy Shojai's Bling: Bitches and Blood sometime. Thank you, Amy, for giving us the opportunity to review and giveaway your book!
Okay, okay, Mom...it's my turn now!
One of my favoritest treats are the ProPlan Chicken Savory Bites, and mes wanted to give all of our friends a chance to win some of their own. Mes will be including a bag of these tasty treats in the giveaway!
Please let mes know if yous cannot eat chicken treats, and mes will send the servant Mom to go and get a different flavor (tuna or salmon).
Thank yous all for coming to celebrate my 10th birthday! It is hard to believe mes has been with the Mom for nearly 10 years. Mes is very thankful to have a loving human and a sisfur to bug!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY CARMINE!!!! I hope you have AT LEAST ten more birthdays my friend - hopefully lots more than that. How nice of you to have a giveaway on YOUR special day.
