Book Description:
Dr. Louis Camuti, a New York City vet who specialized in making house calls to sick cats, wrote this delightful memoir about his years in practice. Dr. Camuti was a character, even a bit of a curmudgeon. This is not your typical "cat stories" book, all treacley and preachy and maudlin. This is a straightforward guy telling straightforward "no kidding, there I was" -style war stories, and sounding just like a prototypical NYC veterinarian should.

For many years, Doctor Louis Camuti tended an amazing variety of cats in New York City, owned by a more amazing variety of famous artists, authors, Broadway and motion picture stars, producers, and executives. His insight into the owners is sometimes jucier than his insight into their cats (which is considerable). Although he specialized in cats, he also treated "any animal that was suffering", including a pigeon, marmosets, honeybears, and ocelots.

A must read for cat lovers. Written by a "cat doctor" with over 60 years experience. Dr Camuti makes house calls as he feels his patients are more comfortable in their own environment. This is a book of his experiences.

Tedious, without humor, and often preaches: blech.
