Amazing results already 
Having had a fairly young cat die recently and being devastated by the loss, I was looking for anything to keep my other cats healthy and with me for a long time to come so I ordered this book. It has lots of great information, but the most intriguing aspect for me was the information on nutrition and especially about a raw foods diet. I started changing the way I fed, by first switching to moist foods and then removing the self-feed dry kibble. I worked up the nerve just this Wednesday to start adding some raw meat to the canned meals and the result is nothing short of amazing. It is only Saturday and my cats are now picking around the "meat" from the commercial product and gobbling up the raw stuff instead (they really like the ground turkey). However, what is amazing me more than anything is the change in their personalities. One is an 8 year old male who has never been very affectionate...he jumped up and sat in my lap last night while I watched TV! The other is a female who we just adopted from the Humane Society a few weeks ago and who has yet to settle in and feel comfortable. She snuggled next to me on the couch last night for the first time. If just a few days on an only partial raw food diet is having such positive affects on a mental/emotional level, I can only look forward to how beneficial this will be to their physical well-being in the long term. If you would like more information on feeding raw foods, pick up Dr. Pitcairn's book as it has some great recipes and options.
Great Book, Great Diet
I read this book because my foster cat had a serious health problem. She was sick from the day I got her, and she stayed sick despite all the vet's efforts. Finally, my boss suggested this book, which explains how to switch to a natural, raw diet. I switched the cat to this diet, and she hasn't had a problem since. She's completely healthy now. The vet says she probably "has a weak stomach," but this diet is so much more natural and so much easier for her to digest. I think all cats should be fed like this. It's not that big a commitment: I spend a couple of hours making the food once a month and freeze a ton of it. Then I just feed it twice a day. No big deal. I definitely recommend this book and the diet it espouses.
The New Natural Cat: A Complete Guide for Finicky Owners
This book is a great resource for understanding and implementing good health practices for your feline friend. I highly recommend this book.
This book saved two cats lives
This book has fabulous information on caring for cats. She gives exquisite explanations of what to do, how to it, problems you might have doing it, etc. She includes helpful diagrams as well. Recently one of my kitty clients would not eat and all - including his 2 veterinarians who thought he was at death's door. I made the high protein chicken broth described in this book, and the dear kitty has pulled through and is getting stronger and stronger every day! This book was also a godsend that saved my precious Victoria kitty when she was horribly ill. Whenever I have a problem with any kitties in my life, this is one of the first books I pull from my shelf. Recipes for non-commercial diets are included. I highly recommend this book to all my cat clients.
Some good advice, some bad 
There is some very good regular health and care advice here; for example, her pill-giving technique is all but foolproof.
But I must take issue with some of her dietary and home-healthcare advice. She has among the treats/"bribe foods" a homemade "delicious garlic condiment" consisting of mashed garlic, tamari (wheat-free soy sauce), and water. Like onion, garlic is toxic to cats in any but the most minute quantities -- her 1/8 teaspoon (half of which is garlic) is way too much to be safe, especially on a regular basis, as it destroys red blood cells and can cause anemia. Likewise, she recommends garlic pills for some health conditions, inadvisable for the same reasons.
Aside from that, she puts rather more stock in homeopathy than I do -- yes, a drug should be diluted to some degree (and usually is even in commercial treatments) to make it easier to absorb, but there's such a thing as dilution past the point of effectiveness.
