    Synopsis

    Britain's leading veterinary journalist and cat expert shares her advice and experience with cat owners on both sides of the Atlantic, as she describes how to bond with a pet feline. Claire Bessant begins by explaining how cats function as cats, describing their likes, their dislikes, and their instinctive behavior. Armed with this knowledge, cat owners facing behavior problems can determine why a problem exists and decide how to solve it. A most fascinating topic that Claire Bessant explores in detail is her method of entering a cat's world through its senses—sight, touch, hearing, smell, taste, and that indefinable feline sixth sense. Readers will also find information on cat vocal and body language, feline traits determined by genetics, ways of measuring feline intelligence, training techniques, and much more. The book's final 50-page chapter is an A-to-Z compendium of cat behavior problems and their solutions. This must-read volume for cat lovers includes an eight-page insert of beautiful full-color photos.

    September 26, 2009: She seems to spend a great deal of time on the introduction of a subject and very little on the results or possible solutions to the problems presented. I felt constantly let down when I finished reading a chapter.

    A catchy title for a general information bookby Anonymous

    August 23, 2009: This book is appropriate for the first time kitten or cat owner. It is perfect for someone who has never been owned by a feline or lived with one. It is chocked full of appropriate general info on acquiring and integrating a cat into the home, but contains little information for the informed. The author also posits that cats should be allowed to go outdoors, unless in a city. Most current Vetnarians disagree wholeheartedly with this idea.
