About this ebook

"Pam Johnson-Bennett is the queen of cat behavior!" -- Steve Dale, author of My Pet World

The author of Catwise, Think Like a Cat, and Cat vs. Cat, Johnson-Bennett sheds light on the communication breakdowns between cats and their humans. In this offbeat and illuminating book, feline behaviorist Pam Johnson-Bennett, takes you on the wildest house calls of her career. Meet Mambo, the cat who attacks his owner, but only on Sundays, and Bonsai, the cat whose dislike for the new boyfriend becomes very embarrassing. What secret does Freddie know about his owner's new wife? These stories--each of which unfolds like a mystery--will help owners better understand the ever fascinating cat psyche.

Ratings and reviews

This was a very interesting book, being an owner of a crazy cat myself I have been able to use a lot of the information given to make my cat happier. I didn't know there were people who help with crazy cats. I am glad that these specialists are available and able to train the people about cats that keeps many out of the shelters. Mine has had a bad start to life and has taken a year to get used to me and her new home. It took 3 weeks to get the big fur ball out of a small bucket in the storage room. Now she sits on my lap, and plays at 1/2 a day, but she is lazy some days. I really enjoyed this book and have used many of the tips to help with Kitty. Thank you
