Book Review: "Mitska Says: A Cat's Eye View to Healthy Senior Feline living" By Mitska with help from CC Reider

As anyone who owns a senior cat knows, watching them age can be challenging and oftentimes sad. We are faced with so many questions, "My kitty is exhibiting such and such behavior, is this normal?" "My kitty is going through some physical changes, what's going on?" "My kitty has been diagnosed with such and such, what should I do?"

You will find the answers to many (if not all) of your questions in "Mitska Says: A Cat's Eye View to Healthy Senior Feline Living" as told by Mitska a fifteen year old Maine Coon  kitty who really thinks she is a "young" ten!  There are excerpts and anecdotes from Mitska herself that are charming and frankly I wish there had been even MORE of Mitska in this helpful book. The portions that featured Mitska were some of my favorite moments.

Cats ages 7 and up are considered to be "Seniors". The title "Seniors" brings with it many changes. These changes can be physical, emotional and behavioral and are often quite confusing to the cat that is experiencing these changes and their owners who love them.

Reading this book I was reminded of many things that my Bobo had experienced throughout his Senior years and I couldn't help but think how helpful it would have been to have a book like this to explain some of the changes that he was experiencing. If I had had a book like this it would have alerted me to some things that I would have loved a better understanding of such as:

• "Senior Conditions & Illnesses"
• "Veterinarians Answer  Your Questions"
• "Nutrition And Hydration"
• "The Scoop On Poop" (love that title!)
• "Stress"
• "Pain"
• "Cat Health Studies"

I have never been  known to be concise in my opinions and in my writing and I think my dear friend Lisa Brewer from Lisa's Cat Lover's Pages  who IS blessed with this ability, summed this book up the best when she said:

"A wonderful book that will give you advice on how to keep your senior cat healthy and what signs to look for. Lovingly written with extensive research and help from veterinarians, this is a must read. You will also find a bit of humor as Mitska gives you advice on humans...Lisa Brewer, creator and author of Lisa's Cat Lover's Pages"
