According to Neville, a self-appointed British feline behaviorist, cats displaying behavioral problems may need cat "shrinks." In this sometimes humorous account of cat problems that he has treated, Neville presents case studies with his"psychoanalysis" and suggestions for treatment. Most of his ideas (e.g., initially separating a new kitten when introducing it into an established household and providing more stimulation for the bored cat) are sensible and useful. However, the use of many British expressions and the narrow focus of the book limits its appeal. More complete and useful advice on cat care can be found in Pam Johnson's Cat Love ( LJ 5/1/90) or Mary Pyles's Understanding Your Cat ( LJ 2/1/91). Not a necessary purchase.
