What Your Cat Wants
There are many stereotypes about cats. Some people say they're aloof and that they'd rather sleep under a bed all day than interact with their owners. Some people say they're fickle and that they're just as likely to scratch or snarl at you as they are to meow and cuddle with you. But with proper training and treatment, cats can be the ideal pet.
With "What Your Cat Wants," you'll learn how to figure out exactly what your feline companion needs. It's a unique book that focuses on you, the cat owner, and encourages you to develop the seven key skills that will teach you how to work with your cat as a team. Each chapter introduces a key skill--from comprehension to communication to motivation--and shows you how to build on the basics and develop them further.
"What Your Cat Wants" will help you meet all your cat's needs and keep him or her healthy, happy, and purring!

Very interesting and informative. I have learned new information and I have cemented some old ones.
Purfect for new cat owners, but also good for cat owners with experience to remember some things they maybe forgot or did not consider important.

After twenty some years of cat ownership, and eight individual cats (plus dozens of shelter cats when I volunteered) I feel pretty safe saying I know cats.
(After all, I am known as the 'crazy cat lady' at work. They say it's an affectionate nick name, I'm never too sure)
And this book has some good advice, but it had some that I questioned a bit as well. Also I found the organization and blocks of text style to be a little intimidating if you really where starting from the beginning. The style encouraged skimming rather than reading, and that's never encouraging. But over all it's a good jumping off place, but I would encourage anyone who has a cat or who is considering a cat is to take everything with a grain of salt, and really pay attention to your cat because that's the best way to learn about them.

This book covers everything from kittenhood to seniorhood. Informative and has fun tips for cat owners! This book would have been really useful to read before I adopted my cat.
It is (just barely) a little too wordy and I noticed that the author repeated several things throughout the book.
