Reviews

[Ted]

A solid 3 stars (maybe 3 1/2) for a good book about cats and their behavior. It provides a general overview of various aspects. The title is a bit misleading, as the book covers more than communication. Chapters and sections within the chapters are short, without going into a lot of detail. I would have preferred more content on a narrower topic. If you only read one book on cats and their behavior, this shouldn't be the one. But it's a nice supplement to other books on the field.

There was some helpful information, I guess. Some of the information in this book seems to be directed to first time cat owners, but it's also got information on very specific behavioral problems.

[Xanthi]

Some solid advice and interesting information in this book. It is a bit dated in places, though. I read this one during my lunch breaks at work, as it was easy to put down and pick up again.

Liked it, though a bit odd in places.
