In this compact guide from the My First Pet Library from the American Humane Association series, there's plenty of bedrock information about choosing a cat and how to care for it, including the basics of spaying and neutering. Even for this young audience, though, the information can be overly simplistic: "If you like animals, you can be a vet." Although the color photographs are not always crisp, there are plenty of them, and the large print makes this easy to read. A short bibliography and a couple of Internet addresses lead the way to more. Cooper, Ilene
