Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group - Ivy Press and Netgalley for providing me with How to Raise a Happy Cat in exchange for an honest review.

How amazing is this book?! Perfect illustrations with a LOT of information. This book will give you information about cats' biological systems, activities they prefer, nutrition they need, and many more. It's great for cat lovers and cat owners. The images are also *chef's kiss* Highly recommend for you and for your loved ones!

A lovely little illustrated book of information about how to care for cats.
Neatly laid out in sections which was both useful and pleasing to use and look at.
As a previous pet owner, this book wasn't necessarily telling me anything new but equally I did learn some new things and tips. I like the DIY sections, cost effective for current life!
All in all if you are thinking of getting a kitten/cat this is a super cute book of information & tips.

This is fantastic for new cat parents and ones who have raised cats for years. The drawings are adorable and the sections are laid out nicely making them easy to read.

I have been a cat owner for most of my adult life and had a few as a kid. I’ve read many different books on how to care for your cats. How to Raise A Happy Cat So They Love You More Than Anyone Else has been my favorite so far.

Right away, something I noticed about this book that is different from so many others is the ease of readability. The pages were not cluttered nor were they just massive walls of text. There’s a smooth flow to the pages with space for your eyes to rest.

I also really loved the sweet and playful cat illustrations/paintings in this book.

The book is split into several sections with each section having several topics. In a lot of these topics, you’ll find a circle with the words “What’s the payoff,” along with a short summary of the topic. You’ll find a good amount of information in each section without being overwhelming.

One of the things I loved about this book (that I haven’t seen in a lot of other books about taking care of cats) is that there are a TON of simple directions to DIY things for your cat. It talks you through everything from making extremely simple cat toys to making cat treats to making your own scratcher and everything in between.

Another thing the book does is walk you through how to play with your cat. It has several activities and games you can play with your cat - not just what activities but how to do them.

Of course, the book contains all the things you’d expect to see in a book about cats. It talks about feeding them, pet behavior, stages of life, and so much more.

As an experienced cat owner, I still learned several new things and found several new projects I could do, as well.

So who do I think would benefit from this book? This book would be a great book to have at home when your family’s first cat arrives for the whole family to go over together. It would also be a good book to give to any cat owner, whether they are talking about getting their first cat or a lifelong cat lover. It can be enjoyed by pretty much any age, from elementary aged kids on up.

Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for a chance to read this ARC. Here are my honest thoughts:

I would love to keep a copy of this on my student library bookshelf. It is wonderfully descriptive and speaks simply, with lots of information about cats and how to be a good cat parent. I would love to see one of these for dogs and other animals. My students are so interested in their domestic friends, and the pictures in How to Raise a Happy Cat are so cute and the advice very practical that I don't think most would find it difficult to follow.

Thank you, Quarto Publishing Group - Ivy Press, for the advance reading copy.

If you want to adopt a kitten or a cat and even if you are an old cat parent, this book is for you! This is a good one which provides enough information on everything related to cats and their well being: living space, food, exercise, health are covered.

The illustrations are cute but expect minimum content regarding this. However, the focus is more on the guide to their well being and health.

Quite the content I would expect.

Totally recommended.

This is very informative book for cat parents. It’s full of very helpful tips from making toys to proper feeding and training.
