Understanding Your Cat

Understanding Your Cat

Michael W. Fox

Cats are the most popular, and arguably, the easiest domestic pet throughout the world. But so many cat owners are completely unaware of the infinite subtlety of a cat’s behaviour –their independence , their communication with each other, and how their brains, sense and intelligence compare with dogs and humans. 

Dr. Michael Fox, a qualified vet with a doctorate in psychology from London University, admits that at first he would not be so arrogant as presume to know anything about such a distant and inscrutable creature as the cat. However, his research into scientific studies, folklore and his own observations have produced the answers to many questions –like:

• What is the best way to raise and train a kitten?
• Why are cats so aloof (compared to dogs), so hard to discipline and yet at times so sensitive?
• Is the cat yet really domesticated?
• Are cats neurotic?
• Cats are said to have nine lives; they also have nine senses. Can you say what these are?

UNDERSTANDING YOUR CAT is a handy, friendly book which will help and interest everybody who is owned by a feline.
