Ever since I got Lily, my first cat ever, I've been buying kitten/cat care books and magazines like a madman just so I know that I'm giving the best to my Persian pet. In six months I have accumulated over a dozen books and this is the first time that I found one book with EVERYTHING I REALLY NEEDED to know about cats (care, health, playtime, training, behavior, etc! etc!) without sounding too clinical or boring. The money-saving tips were especially helpful and I'm sure you'll have a blast with the funny anecdotes as well. "277 secrets," they say? I didn't count, but it seemed to me there were more than 277 included in the book!

4.0 out of 5 stars This Book Saved My Plants, February 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: 277 Secrets Your Cat Wants You to Know (Paperback)

My three very feral kitties - all rescues - were wrecking my houseplants before I found this entertaining and informative book! They were using the pot that held a 25-year-old marginata as an alternative litter box and cleaning their teeth on the leaves until I read that keeping the soil moist would discourage digging AND that mixing green vegetables into their food would put an end to their pencant for shredding the leaves. Believe me when I tell you these tips work. "277 Secrets..." is a fun and fact-filled read.

5.0 out of 5 stars Have cats? This book is for you, July 10, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: 277 Secrets Your Cat Wants You to Know (Paperback)

I share my home with two DSH cats, both being rescures. My female loves to play fetch, peek-a-boo, and gives kisses with her big green eyes. My male was abused when he was a kitten by a previous horrible owner, who used to kick him. This book has helped me understand him through his behavior and his body language. He still is cautious of our feet, when we walk by him, but he now loves to be held and kissed, as long as we are sitting down. Every page of this book was informative and also very funny. I've had cats in my life for over 25 years, and after reading this book, I've learned so many new and exciting things. This book is a must.
