Yes they are Mark. .  If you look on their site there are lots of books. http://www.catprofessional.com/

I believe I am not interested to know whether Vivisection produces results that are profitable to the human race or doesn't. To know that the results are profitable to the race would not remove my hostility to it.  Mark Twain

I was the same with Alice. Now she is a bit more relaxed, she is comfortable enough to go for Clapton when she is in the mood  :tired:

Smartie and Sophie have both done it (13 and 16 )
Maybe Winston and Fifi will do it too as they are both 12.

"Please only complete one questionnaire per household, picking the first cat when listed alphabetically"  :rofl: :rofl:

I received the following email today from Cat Professional .... thought folks on here might be able to help with the survey  ;)


The numbers of older cats is increasing and the health issues that affect our ageing felines have become more and more important. We need your help to participate in a short online survey that will give us information in our study on older cats.

The study is aimed at finding out more about a condition called Cognitive Dysfunction Syndrome (CDS) or more commonly known as feline senility. With many similarities to Alzheimer’s Disease in people, this condition is thought to affect many older cats. The study is being led by Professor Danièlle Gunn-Moore  (University of Edinburgh) and Dr Sarah Caney of Cat Professional. Professor Danièlle Gunn-Moore is one of only a handful of experts who is actively researching CDS in cats and is a leading world specialist in this area of feline medicine.
 
To thank you for completing this online questionnaire, all participants will enter a draw to win a 6 months' supply of Hill’s™ pet food, plus receive a 25% discount off books purchased on the Cat Professional website. The ‘Caring for a cat with…’ series of books published by Cat Professional are designed to support owners of cats with a range of medical conditions and prices start at just £7.00.
