Your cat still wants to be with you. She just can't do the stairs the way she used to. The Stairs Are Too Much Now is a practical, room-by-room guide for owners who want to keep an ageing cat from being confined to one floor, without a major renovation and without pretending the problem is simple. Rufus Talbert walks through ramps, shallow steps, resting spots, lighting, flooring, and the daily route a cat actually takes, always with the same safety-first rule: pain and illness present as behaviour in cats, so a sudden change, litter tray problems, hiding, or a cat who has stopped eating is a reason to see a vet first. The book never diagnoses, never names a medication or a diet, never promises a behaviour will resolve, and never recommends punishment. It assumes no garden, no car, no savings, and sometimes only one room. What it offers instead is a way to look at your house the way your cat does, and to make the rooms she loves reachable again.
