Anatomy of the Cat

A clear, concise guide to the domestic cat’s anatomy, this volume offers students a practical reference for laboratory work without the excess of larger, more theoretical treatises. The authors focus on the skeletal and muscular systems, describing each bone and muscle with straightforward language and highlighting the linear action of individual muscles to aid dissection and identification. Original ink illustrations accompany every section, providing detailed visual support that brings the text’s explanations to life.

Designed from the authors’ own dissections, the book omits peripheral topics such as physiology, histology, and rare abnormalities, keeping the material tightly centered on normal feline structure. Its moderate size makes it easy to handle during hands‑on sessions, while the thorough yet accessible descriptions ensure that both novice and more experienced students can follow along confidently. The work builds on earlier instructional notes, presenting a polished, classroom‑ready resource for anyone studying mammalian anatomy through the familiar cat model.
