Happy Cat, Happy You: Quick Tips for Building a Bond with Your Feline Friend [Paperback]

Arden Moore (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1, 2008

With over 90 million pet cats in this country, it's clear: America cherishes its feline companions. Yet cat owners don't always have the time, or the know-how, to develop harmonious bonds with their furry friends. Many owners find themselves confounded by common feline behaviors, like scratching, biting, stalking, and pouncing. Meanwhile, the average household is filled with objects that could be dangerous for Kitty — clothes dryers, dental floss, even a leftover chocolate chip cookie! What's a time-pressed cat lover to do?

Arden Moore is here to help. In Happy Cat, Happy You, Moore, a bestselling author of 17 pet books and national spokesperson on pet issues, covers it all — bath time, mealtime, quiet time, and play time. All tips are simple and quick to implement; collectively, they add up to a lot of TLC! The book features a compact, inviting format and is filled with quotes, quick insights, and colorful call-out boxes. Happy Cat, Happy You is a creative, low-fuss approach to caring for America's most popular pet — and a must-have for the busy owner.

This review is from: Happy Cat, Happy You: Quick Tips for Building a Bond with Your Feline Friend (Paperback)

If my cats could type, they would write a glowing endorsement of this book, specifically for the "Tuna-sicles" recipe found on page 199 for which they've taken up a petition to erect a monument in honor of the author. Since they can't type though, I'll have to speak for them.

I thought I knew my cats and how to keep them happy but in "Happy Cat, Happy You" author Arden Moore opens up not just roads but highways on how to give our cats all the happiness they deserve. From basic grooming tips to feline decor, kittens to senior cats, Moore shows us how to bond with our cats in a way THEY'LL appreciate. I thought I was bonded with my cats before. After reading Moore's book, I'm superglued to them--and that's a fantastic thing.

This book is a fast, fun read packed with solid information. Perfect for anyone who loves cats.
