Editorial Reviews
Review
"Informative, evenly written, and well organized." Choice
"This authoritative collection of articles written primarily by academics is a welcome alternative to the majority of books that are published about cats." Animals' Agenda
"No matter how much you've learned about feline behavior from living with cats, reading The Domestic Cat will teach you new things about Fluffy's instincts, motives and behaviors. This compilation of scientific studies on domestic cat behavior is a fascinating inquiry into the mind of your housecat...offers a wealth of knowledge about these mysterious furry creatures who share our lives." Cats
Product Description
Humans have lived with cats for thousands of years, and there are now more cats kept in Western households than any other animal. Cherished as companions and valued as rodent catchers, their enigmatic behavior has intrigued and bewildered us for generations. While accepting the comforts of human homes, cats do seem to "walk by themselves." Although loved for their independence and self-reliance, myths and fables surround them, leaving them open to persecution and misunderstanding. Covering all types of cats from pampered pets to feral hunters, this completely revised new edition of The Domestic Cat shows how cats live and behave in a variety of circumstances and surroundings. With new chapters on welfare issues, and cat-cat communication, this volume penetrates the enigma that is Felis catus, sorting fact from fiction, and helping both the general reader and the specialist in animal behavior or veterinary science to understand cats as they really are.
