The Kitten Whisperer

Claire Bessant is the country's leading authority on everybody's favourite pet and in this wonderful book shows you how to give your kitten the perfect start in life that every cat deserves. Claire knows just how important those early times are for a cat's well-being and uses her knowledge to show us precisely what every kitten needs in order to grow into a healthy, happy cat. From finding a breed to suit you, to weighing up the differences between pedigrees and moggies, to knowing what behaviour to expect from a kitten, and how to deal with it, the book explains every aspect of owning a young cat.

Claire Bessant is the Chief Executive of the Feline Advisory Bureau, a charity that provides information on a wide range of cat topics and funds vets to specialise in feline medicine. She is also commissioning editor of a veterinary publication.
