This book is designed for use as a dissection guide in comparative vertebrate anatomy or in mammalian anatomy. The material covered and the time allotted to such courses varies considerably, and the illustrations are therefore designed to enable the instructor to point out the important features of areas which cannot be dissected in detail by every student.

"The text describes the norm, and for the sake of brevity the numerous variations which may be encountered in the laboratory are not described. I have used a combination of diagrammatic marginal illustrations, which are labeled directly, and larger realistic illustration, which are labeled with numbered keys." -Stephen G. Gilbert

Pictorial Anatomy of the Cat PDF

I am a graduate teaching assistant at Old Dominion University and we use this book extensively as a reference for muscles and blood vessels. The drawings are very accurate and the text is easy to read and flows well from a dissector's viewpoint. In addition, there are simplified "road-map" type sketches to aid in understanding the branching patterns of the major blood vessels. This "catlas" has proven to be quite indispensable for our purposes.

This lab dissection guide was written over 40 years ago, but it is still the single best guide to cat anatomy. Cats haven't changed, but modern textbook manufacturers think that their thick glossy expensive books are more appealing to today's students. They are wrong. This simple guide is filled with beautiful hand drawn illustrations that are more helpful than any photograph. I only wish it was spiral bound so I could leave it open flat while dissecting. Check out Gilbert's guide to the dogfish anatomy as well. Together they make a great set of manuals for any comparative anatomy course.
