Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review
What is a cat? The most enigmatic of creatures--both affectionate and aloof, graceful yet powerful, a warrior and a napper. Roger Tabor, a world-renowned expert on felines provides a fascinating look at the mysterious world of the cat in Roger Tabor's Cat Behavior: A Complete Guide to Understanding How Your Cat Works. Tabor explains how a cat works both physically and emotionally. Crisp color photographs and concise text provide an extensive view of the cat as both a pet and a predator. The mechanisms of movement, the significance of sleep, and the emergence of new "designer cats" are just a taste of the diverse topics covered. Cats are becoming ever more popular as household pets, leading to an increase in behavioral problems. Tabor believes this is caused by the emergence of more "indoor" cats. Undoubtedly this is a controversial issue with good reasons for and against confinement. But whatever an owner's choice, Tabor's commonsense advice will help those bored or stressed kitties. Of course not all adverse cat behavior is related to a cat's environment--some problems are just part of being a kitty, be it spraying or clawing the furniture, and Tabor's tips will be acceptable for both kitty and master.

Product Description
Roger Tabor draws on 20 years of professional study of cats to reveal fascinating insights about cat behavior-how they think and how they communicate with each other and humans. Complete with a problem-solving section at the back of the book.

Although I have many cat topic books in my bookshelf, I bought this book. This book is informative. It also contains some unique point of view. The reason I only rate it as 4 stars is, I prefer a more human touch (sensation, humor) on cat topic books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unique Information, Great Photos, Very Informative, November 19, 1998
Roger Tabor is a renowned cat expert. He has often been featured on PBS. In fact, that is why I bought the book. I pride myself as a cat expert, but there are things in this book I never knew about cats. One important fact - if you pet a cat too much they might nip you. Often cats gets sent to shelters because they are misunderstood. This book will help people understand cats better. Great Book, Great photos.
