What Your Cat Wants - Tapa dura

There are many stereotypes about cats. Some people say they're aloof and that they'd rather sleep under a bed all day than interact with their owners. Some people say they're fickle and that they're just as likely to scratch or snarl at you as they are to meow and cuddle with you. But with proper training and treatment, cats can be the ideal pet.

With What Your Cat Wants, you'll learn how to figure out exactly what your feline companion needs. It's a unique book that focuses on you, the cat owner, and encourages you to develop the seven key skills that will teach you how to work with your cat as a team. Each chapter introduces a key skill--from comprehension to communication to motivation--and shows you how to build on the basics and develop them further.

What Your Cat Wants will help you meet all your cat's needs and keep him or her healthy, happy, and purring!
