Synopsis
Intended as a companion to Think Like a Cat (2000), this guide offers multicat owners insights on the complexities of feline communication and social society. The animal behaviorist gives general and crisis intervention advice on treatment plans for such problems as acting out over new household additions. Resources include organizations offering pet owner education and manufacturers of useful products. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Library Journal
Statistics indicate that cats are among the most popular pets-and that most cat owners have more than one. An award-winning feline behaviorist and author, Johnson-Bennett provides practical advice for developing and maintaining multicat households. Her topics include the feline hierarchy (contrary to popular opinion, cats are social creatures), cat communication (e.g., vocalizations, postures), the importance of territory, how to introduce new cats into the mix, and a variety of care issues (e.g., feeding, play time, litter boxes, scratching, aggression, stress management, aging, and illness). If followed, Johnson-Bennett's advice should help reduce the number of cats that are euthanized or turned in to shelters for behavioral problems. Highly recommended for pet care collections, especially those that contain the author's Think Like a Cat. (Appendix and index not seen.)-Edell M.

November 06, 2005: Growing up, my family always had a cat. As an adult I have three and have cared for many professionally in the past. I picked up the book out of interest and curiosity rather than out of need. After reading it, I immediately implemented Pam's advise about play time, scratching, and feeding. If the specific cat products she recommends hadn't been of good quality and not worked so well in my household, I might have otherwise viewed the recommendations as 'plugs' for the manufacturers. Her advice has made me and my cats even happier in our humble little apartment. Who knew!
