Have you ever wondered what makes your cat tick? We are fascinated by these enigmatic animals: a lovable pet curled in a lap one minute, a wily hunter stalking its prey the next. Here, cat expert Roger Tabor reveals why cats behave as they do, and shows how we can learn to understand and appreciate their impact on our lives.
Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com Review
This is a beautifully illustrated, intelligent, straightforward book that contains just about everything you ever wanted to know about cats. It avoids the cuteness of many cat books, dealing instead with serious issues of conservation of wild cats and expressing the author's special fondness for mixed breed cats (or, as he calls them, "Moggies"), because, he maintains, they are the purest breed of cat and closest in genetics and behavior to wild cats. (Mercifully, Roger Tabor avoids the annoying affectation of using the pronoun "she" in referrence to all cats.) The historical information on how cats become our domestic pets is particularly fascinating, and the health advice and care instructions for cats are right on target and quite useful.
