The Nine Life Cat

There comes a point in every cat's life when we start to notice the signs of ageing, and naturally we are less certain about how to care for our beloved pets. As their needs change, so must we be more flexible and understanding in how we look after them. Feline expert Claire Bessant explains how cats get older - how they behave, their changing dietary requirements - and shows you how to prevent against illness at an early stage. It is packed with practical advice and little-known facts to get the most out of your cat's nine lives.

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.
