Review of the previous edition:
"The focus of this book is a practical one; it is designed to give veterinarians information on all things feline that they can use every day, in an easily accessible format...A great deal of information is contained in this book, but it is generally easy to follow and find...The many full colour photographs are very clear...All veterinary practitioners who are seeing feline cases should have The Cat: Clinical Medicine and Management on their shelf. It will help the clinician gain greater insight into everyday problems and is an invaluable resource for more difficult cases." --Australian Veterinary Journal, January 2013
