Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Cats can be difficult to understand. They often seem secretive, aloof, and maddeningly independent. But they also earn deep love and devotion from millions of cat owners who cherish that incomparable feline spirit. For cat lovers everywhere, pet expert Arden Moore explores cat behavior in an inviting, browsable Q&A format. She answers the questions that come up again and again among devoted cat owners, opening an intriguing window on the feline brain and physiology.

How, for example, can a cat in deep sleep three rooms away from the kitchen come zooming in within seconds of the refrigerator door opening? It's not just instinct. Cats really do have amazing hearing. Their ears are perfectly designed to pick up more sound vibrations and at higher frequencies than either humans or even dogs. And what does it mean when a cat's tail swishes slowly from side to side? That cat is probably getting ready to pounce on a mouse—either a toy or the real thing. Tail swishing is part of the cat's predatory positioning.

In addition to explaining why cats do what they do, Moore shows readers how to prevent many common feline problems. Her practical advice and workable solutions help cat owners work with their pets to banish bad litter box habits, nighttime howling, and destructive clawing. Even finicky eaters can become feline gourmands with a little gentle encouragement.

There are hundreds of tiny quirks and kooky habits that make a cat a cat. This sturdy, fun-to-read handbook explains those catticisms and opens every cat lover's eyes to the complexity of feline behavior. To know them is to love them!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is the Real Deal on the mysteries of kitty behavior, August 26, 2007
The number-one cause of death of cats and dogs under the age of three is preventable, behavior-related problems. Arden Moore is on a mission to change this deplorable statistic. With the publication of "The Cat Behavior Answer Book" (and its companion, "The Dog Behavior Answer Book"), Moore gives pet owners the tools and information they need to understand their cherished pets and manage any behavior challenges that arise.
Packed with enlightening answers to real questions from real cat owners about real cat problems, this book reflect Moore's own kitty expertise (she's a longtime cat mom herself) as well as the latest scientific research into the quirks and mysteries of feline behavior. Moore's advice is sound, sensible, practical and always given in a warm, friendly, supportive tone. She's never judgmental and doesn't overcomplicate things.
The compact, welcoming "handbook" format is inviting rather than intimidating, encouraging curious ailurophiles to flip to any page to listen in on Moore's warm, wise and witty advice. There's lots to learn, whether you're a new kitten parent or a veteran cat owner.
Moore deeply empathizes with cats and their humans, and understands the complex relationships they share. She knows that just a bit of help in navigating the rough spots of feline-human life can strengthen the interspecies bond -- and save cats' lives. Get this book, and join Arden Moore on her mission.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the Best Cat Behavior Books, January 19, 2008
By wrbtu (Long Island Motor Parkway) - See all my reviews
I bought this book at the same time as I bought Pam Johnson's "Twisted Whiskers," & although Johnson's book is good, it's not as helpful as this book. The "Cat Behavior Answer Book" gave me a more thorough discussion of issues, & more specific solutions than Johnson's book. One of my cat's issues is night-time meowing, which wakes me up, & Moore's book helped me solve the problem more than Johnson's book did.

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Cat Behavior Answer Book" should be included in every cat lover's home and/or office library!, July 26, 2007
By Sandra L. Toney (Plymouth, IN USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As soon as "The Cat Behavior Answer Book" arrived from Amazon.com, my first thought -- even though it was a peculiar thought at the moment -- was that it would fit easily into my purse. It's not too big and bulky and, to my surprise, the durability of the cover deems it practically indestructible. That means it won't get tattered and torn in my "everything-but-the-kitchen-sink" cluttered purse. I normally take a book everywhere I go so I'll have something to read while waiting for appointments, etc. This book has been my traveling buddy all week. In fact, I could hardly put it down from beginning to end!

The amazing thing about Moore's words (the book is in question and answer format . . . which I really liked) is that I felt as if she was talking to ME personally regarding many of the questions and answers in her book. Just when I thought I knew a lot about felines, Arden Moore has shown me how much "Moore" I have to learn.

Finally, it's not a one-time-only read like many of the books I purchase. "The Cat Behavior Answer Book" might not live out its entire life in my messy purse, but I'm sure it will be nearby every time I need an answer to a critical kitty question. I recommend that all cat aficionados purchase this book! Every question and answer imaginable can be found within its pages. A "Must-Have" for every cat owner...
