Judges' comments: "Exhaustive book. Has she written herself into a corner? How can Shojai top this one? Outstanding content that is streamlined and attractively laid out. A beautiful balance of text illustration and emotion. Excellent job."
BEST BOOK ON KITTEN CARE!
COMPLETE KITTEN CARE is the winner of the 2002 Purina Kitten Chow Kitten Award. Judge's comments: "I thought this book was very complete and addressed the most important aspects of kitten care. I especially liked the fact that Ms. Shojai addressed society's penchant for the "disposable"--reminding people that acquiring a pet means "for life," not just until the cuteness wears off. Good use throughout of visual aids that help focus the readers' attention in important information." Pat Jacobberger, owner of Voyageur Burmese Cattery, Chair of the CFA Breeder Mentoring Committee, and a CFA Allbreed Judge
