4.0 out of 5 stars
Great handbook but misleading title,
By Maiken Sten (Frederiksberg, Denmark) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 101 Training Tips for Your Cat (Paperback)
This is a good little handbook, especially for the novice cat owner. I found it very informative on all sorts of stuff, from daily cat care to behaviour problems. However I do find the title a bit misleading. I originaly bought the book because the title made me think it was a book on cat-training. Some training is mentioned but the book is not really about conditioning and learning psychology. If that's what you're looking for find something else.

Very useful information,
By A Customer
This review is from: 101 Training Tips for Your Cat (Paperback)
This is a great book for those people who have a cat that needs a bit of training. The book is very easy to read in a few settings. There are some good tips to train your cat. There are some very valuable don'ts in the book too. This book was written by a professional vet and cat owner so the author knows what she is talking about. I found some very helpful tips in this book. I woulld recomend this book highly.

Superb book for novice cat owner,
This review is from: 101 Training Tips for Your Cat (Paperback)
When a friend of mine offered me an orphan cat I told him I knew nothing about cats. In fact, the first question I asked was how to train her to use a litter box. That gives you an idea of how low my cat database was. I went to the petstore the night before picking up my new kitty and scanned several cat books. This book seemed very user friendly and full of really practical tips. I bought it and read it cover to cover over the next couple of weeks as my cat and I learned about each other. It answered virtually all of my questions. If you are looking for a first primer on how to take care of and understands cats, this is the book for you.
