The Purrfect Guide to Thinking Like a Cat: 501 Tips and Techniques

Cat behavior is no longer a mystery with this handy guide to feline friendships.

What does it mean when your cat hides in the laundry basket or wags her tail at you? What about when she kneads your leg or dilates her pupils? The Purrfect Guide to Thinking Like a Cat gets right to the point and explains the meaning of your cat’s behavior in a straightforward manner. The book contains sections devoted to reading your cat’s body language, how to create a comfortable home environment, medical issues, socializing your cat with other animals, and more.
