Synopsis
Dr. Bruce Fogle, a leading specialist in pet behavior, has observed hundreds of cats during his years as a veterinary surgeon. In Know Your Cat, he identifies how cats communicate through posture, body language, facial expressions, "speaking" (meowing and hissing) and rituals like rubbing, swatting and grooming. He discusses the differences between learned behavior and instinctual action, the importance of a cat's sensory perceptions like smell, touch, and sound--and when a cat's eccentricities are due to genetics or are merely a matter of individual temperament.
Highlighting Dr. Fogle's text are more than 350 remarkable color photographs which capture the cat's unending antics and moods. Commissioned especially for this book, these pictures detail the cat's life, from the intimacy of birth through every stage of growth from kittenhood to maturity. Whether your feline is a sophisticated Siamese or a loveable marmalade plucked from the alley, Know Your Cat will reveal the motives behind his quixotic behavior.
