Overview

This book is written by recognised feline behaviourist Trudi Atkinson and provides the reader with plenty of useful information about the behaviour of the domestic cat. In my opinion a book like this is well overdue, as not only does Trudi explain in detail why cats behave the way they do, she also describes how we as humans can influence feline behaviour and how sometimes, even with the best intentions we get it wrong. This book has been put together in such a way that it takes the reader on a journey, from the ancestry of the domestic cat, right up to how to tackle common feline behaviour problems in a clear and practical way, which is useful for both veterinary professionals and owners alike
