There are more than 75 million housecats in the United States. Each year, over 4.7 million of them age, go into decline and die. Each and every day, more than 12,800 people make a difficult decision—to prolong the cat's life, to terminate it or do nothing. Sooner or later, every cat will die but you can improve both its quality and quantity of life.

And when your cat nears death, this guest will explain your choices.

You will discover how to:

öDetermine the real age of your cat.
öRecognize the early signs of decline.
öSlow the aging process and extend life.
öImprove the quality of life in the later years.
öDecide if you should put your cat down.
öMinimize the loss to your family and other pets.
öMake the choices between burial, cremation, taxidermy, freeze drying and cloning.
öMemorialize your cat.
