Are you considering bringing a cat into your family but are unsure where to start? Margrit Strohmaier has the perfect book for you. What to Know Before You Get Your Cat highlights the responsibilities of providing the best care for a cat. Helping children understand that pets are not toys is essential. Understanding the full details of pet ownership is important to explain to an excited child. The rhyming phrases help young readers easily interpret the high levels of responsibility. This book is an excellent tool for all ages to learn how to welcome and provide for their new furry family member. It’s also a great way to decide if your family can financially support a pet. Everyone can remain safe and have fun together.

What to Know Before You Get Your Cat is a brilliant picture book for children by Margrit Strohmaier. Claudia Gadotti created beautiful, fun, vibrant, and lifelike imagery highlighting the daily care of cats. This book is perfect to help your whole family understand the concept of proper care for a cat. Parents can use this book as an excellent tool to educate children about all the responsibilities involved. I used it to help explain to my 7-year-old why we could not get a cat now. It led to a financial lesson because he wanted to know all costs for future reference. I loved the cat care contract and my cat’s care chart. By signing, you commit to being the best owner you can be.
