Review
"the cat's meow....Tons of dog books come my way, but -- for some inexplicable reason -- few authors write about cats. To my delight, a pair of cat books reached me the same week, both providing new insights on the enigmatic feline: 'Your New Cat,' subtitled 'An Expert Answers Your Every Question,' by Kim Campbell Thornton.... With 10 cat books behind her, Thornton certainly can qualify as an expert. Winner of the Muse Medallion from the Cat Writers Association, the national organization boasting every cat writer worth his or her salt -- or catnip -- she also served as president of CWA from 2000 through 2002."

"The author has published 14 books on cats and dogs and is past president of the Cat Writers Association of America. Those are pretty good credentials. Her book, in fact, has much of the information you'll need to care for your new kitten or mature cat.
Have you ever wondered:
Can cats stay alone all day? Does my cat need to go outside? Why does my cat need a scratching post? Do cats get carsick? Is it better to feed them dry or canned food? What's the best way to trim my cat's claws? How do I deal with "no pets" leases? Where do I find kitty-friendly rentals?
I took my copy of the book home and left it lying on the coffee table in the family room for both my cats to read. Let me rephrase that. Tut will read it. Newman will try to eat it."
Gary Bogue, Contra Costa Times, August 15, 2004
"Bringing a new cat into your life is an exciting time. ' Your New Cat' is a good source for providing answers to the many questions you have about how to integrate a mature cat or kitten into your life while taking care of his needs. Written in a question and answer format, information is easy to find under each of 15 topical chapters."
Cats & Kittens Magazine, September 2004
"Exceptional"
Today's Books, August 2004
"Knowledgeably written by Kim Campbell Thornton (a past president of Cat Writers Association of America), 'Your New Cat' is a straightforward guide to caring for, feeding, grooming, and protecting a beloved new feline pet, whether a kitten or an adult cat. Especially important are the warnings of common household poisons (antifreeze is lethal to animals, yet they will consume it if it is left out due its sweet taste!), hazards, and poisonous plants, and other things to watch out for to keep one's animal safe. 'Your New Cat' is a superb primer and an absolute 'must-have' reference and resource for any new cat owner."
Midwest Book Review, November 2004
"Because picking a pet for someone else is like trying to choose another person's friend, let the recipient do the picking....Or give a book on how to choose and care for a pet. Some possibilities...'Your New Cat: An Expert Answers Your Every Question,' by Kim Campbell Thornton."
Sarah Casey Newman, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, December 11, 2004
"The book every cat owner should own. Written by the past president of the Cat Writers Association of America."
