Not a substitute for your veterinarian

The book and this site provide general information about cat behavior, care and common health signs. They are not veterinary advice and cannot diagnose or treat your cat. If your cat seems unwell, or you are unsure, contact a veterinarian. In an emergency, for example if your cat strains in the litter box and nothing comes out, has labored breathing or cannot lie down, go to the nearest animal clinic right away.

Medicines, products and supplements

Never give your cat human medicines or products made for dogs unless a veterinarian has prescribed them; some are toxic to cats. Products and supplements mentioned in the book are examples, rated by the strength of published evidence; discuss doses and suitability for your cat with your veterinarian.

Breath counter

The breath counter on this site is a convenience for the home check described in the book. It is not a medical device, and its result is not a diagnosis.

Research

The book summarizes published studies and clinical guidelines and names them in each chapter. Veterinary knowledge changes, and individual studies have limits; the book points these out where they matter.

No affiliation

We are not affiliated with any brand, manufacturer, university or organization mentioned. Names are used only to identify products and sources.
