5.0 out of 5 stars MY CATS LOVE ME EVEN MORE!, May 31, 2000

By A Customer

This is a great book becasue it is a joy to follow, is illustrated to follow easily, and works! My four cats, Maui, Shima, Gumpy, and ChiChi, all love me more because of what this book has allowed me to do - how about a book on dogs - my new lab is feeling left out - GREAT book, if you have a cat - this is the message manual!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book!, May 21, 2002

By	Kari Winters (North Hills, CA. United States) - See all my reviews

I do a lot of cat rescue and adoption and find that even people who've had cats for years don't understand how to touch them so the cat will enjoy it. This book gives easy to follow instructions which can be used to improve anyone's relationship with his or her cat. Cats have an unfair reputation as being aloof. Hopefully this book will change that!
