Book Description

Publication Date: April 1, 2005 | Series: Pet Peeves

Meet Beelzebub, who inventively protested the family dachshund's use of his litter box. Or Honey, who, in the absence of hockey pucks, expressed her athletic prowess in a most unsavory way. Cat owners will applaud Dr. Gary Sampson's creative approach to solving even the most purr-plexing feline behavioral issues. Dr. Sampson uses real-life examples from his pet behavior practice to help readers understand the reason behind their cat's behavior; take simple, innovative steps to correct the problem; and prevent future misbehaviors. These laugh-aloud stories will leave readers a bit wiser when it comes to establishing appropriate behavior in their best friend.

This book gives you valuable information on cat behavior with a twist of humor. It gives a little insight on why sometimes cats behave the way they do. I really enjoyed reading this as a pet owner and can relate to one chapter in particular. Dr. Sampson has helped me work with my cat with some behavior problems and he know his stuff!!! Great book and highly recommend it!

This review is from: Cat Conundrums: Simple Solutions to Everyday Problems (Pet Peeves) (Paperback)

This is a great book! Dr. Sampson takes the mystery out of cat behavioral problems in a way cats would approve of - by pointing out that it's often human misbehavior (or misguidance) that's causing the problem. Not only is this book extremely helpful, it is also incredibly funny! Whether or not your cat is about to push you over the edge, you will appreciate the humor and the sage advice regarding behavior modification. Every person who belongs to a cat can learn something from this book.
