She's always been a cat lover and a reader of cat books since childhood. She learned along time ago: don't always believe everything you read about cats. There are old wives' tales (or is it tails?) that linger even today because of misinformation found in some old books like this…

Some out-of-date attitudes linger, but it's a brand new era for information about cats. With the advent of the Internet, a groundswell of new cat books, blogs, videos and TV shows is offering information of every kind. We've come a long way, but don't believe everything you see or hear, even from the so-called experts, or if someone sounds convincing on TV or radio. Never assume anything. Do your homework. Research. Trust your gut. Sometimes entertainment is in the guise of expertise or humor is passed off as knowledge. Wise cats know true wisdom comes from experience.
