Even the cutest young kitten is a wild predator by nature - so how can a human cat-lover understand what their pet actually wants and needs? The Handbook for a Happy Cat delves into the feline psyche to explain:
How does a cat experience the world?
What does my cat think of other cats?
How "smart" is a cat?
When should I be worried that my cat feels unwell?
Which toys will my cat love the most?
How can I reduce straying from the litterbox, scratching furniture, and other problem behaviours?
What will take the stress out of vet visits?
And more!
Cat behaviour expert Liesbeth Puts also explains dozens of feline signals typically misread by humans (for example, the cat-to-cat "play signal," often mistaken for fighting). This is the essential guide for first-time cat adopters - and replete with information that will surprise even devoted, longtime owners!
