The Cat's Favourite Person: Scent, Routine, Trust and Why Cats Choose Who They Choose

Why does a cat follow one person everywhere, sleep beside another and sometimes ignore the very person who fills its bowl? Is there really such a thing as a cat's favourite human, and what makes that relationship different?

In The Cat's Favourite Person, Rowan Vale explores the fascinating science behind the bonds cats form with the people who share their lives. From scent and individual recognition to daily routines, body language, trust and attachment, this engaging examination reveals how cats learn about humans, develop preferences and express companionship in surprisingly different ways.

Drawing upon animal behaviour research and familiar household experiences, the book challenges popular myths about feline affection. It explores why some cats seek constant contact while others prefer quiet proximity, why feeding does not guarantee favouritism, and how relationships evolve through rescue, ageing and changes in family life.

Understanding a cat's affection begins not with demanding to be chosen, but with recognising what its choices mean.
