Cat care books

[DeeDeeTheDragon]

Oh wise cat people,

Can anyone recommend any cat care books or cat behaviour books for an 8yo?

We are are due to bring home two kittens in about 3 weeks. My DCs are beyond excited and DD8 is very keen to be very involved with them. We already have a cat who she is wonderful with but she wants to know more about cat behaviours and signs of stress/unhappiness. Basically she just wants them to love her the most

As she is still quite young I'm not keen on her trawling the internet so I thought a book might be good. She's a good reader so would be fine with a book aimed at adults as long as the content is suitable.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Not a book, but Cats Protection have some pdfs with lots of good info https://www.cats.org.uk/help-and-advice/information-leaflets/essential-guides

Your daughter sounds lovely. I’m sure the new kittens will love her ‘the most’.

What about Yuki Hattori, 'What Cats Want'? I read this at a friend's. It's got nice illustrations and I think an 8 year old who is a good reader would definitely manage it. From what I remember the text is quite big and I suspect it's aimed at children and adults.
