Overview

Curious about cats? It has been claimed that people who like house cats invariably love books. This delightfully illustrated volume on cat care presents information about their behavior, interactions with their own as well as other species, vaccination, deworming, restraining, feline vocalizations, mating, pregnancy, delivery, aggression, old age, ethical issues and myriad other things in a manner that is both pleasurable and concise. The author has had the pleasure of bringing up dozens of house cats by hand for well over a decade. Among other things you will find information on when to fire that vet for inappropriate deworming and how to choose a surgeon. Cat parlance is gradually explained without turning the work into a glossary which will make concepts easier to recall when the vet speaks. Legal issues are briefly touched. Even if you don't own a cat or ever mean to, in life you will come across cats—that's a guarantee. Dive into this and learn to read a cat like a book!

About the Author

I went to the following schools.
1) English Major
2) Diploma in RDBMS
3) Post Graduate Diploma in … [that's my secret]
4) Certificate in Computer Servicing
5) Microsoft Certified Solution Developer

I brought up over a dozen house cats in my 20s.

As a kid and as a teenager I was never a good amateur cricketer, not even average. But I insisted on letting everyone bowl and keep wicket whenever I was made captain. I also started the batting order with the guys who were the least likely to get a chance to bat with practically any of the other captains. Winning a casual open-to-everyone game was much less important to me than giving everyone a fair chance. Since the dominant guys wanted to hog all the action and were more vocal it would seem that I was a very unpopular captain. But I doubt it.

I'm proud to be an Indian and a world citizen. However, I always hated the most popular traditional attire worn by Indian women. The "sari" is a trap!

I always thought it a better idea to drive one's own four-wheeler than hire a chauffer -- something that was quite uncommon in India when I was a toddler.

Most of the eBooks to which I am contributor are my translations of works by Rabindranath Tagore, the first non-European to win a Nobel Prize for Literature.

I am also a loss-making webmaster. I created http://aucklandwhich.org which is a specialized search engine for geoconfusables and I have a lightning-fast tester for Dansguardian parental control software at http://d.yourfilter.info.tm

If you read my translations of Rabindranath Tagore's works you will surely treasure them for generations …
