The United States is home to 86.4 million owned cats, and 52 percent of owners own more than one cat. That means more furry love for owners, but also can put your cats' tails in a twist over that (HISSS!) new feline friend. From conflicts over favorite sleep spots to sharing potty facilities, adding new pets rubs fur the wrong way and creates hairy situations for everyone - including you. This new guide gives owners all the must-knows about cat behavior, whether they share their home with a single feline or a clowder of cat companions.

Dog owners know that dogs can be trained, but the idea of training rarely crosses cat owners' minds. But as best-selling anthrozoologist John Bradshaw and cat expert Sarah Ellis show, not only can cats be trained, but they absolutely should be to ensure a happy and healthy relationship between pet and owner. Once we comprehend cats' emotions and needs, we can train them to overcome their natural fears and anxieties.

Cats have been popular household pets for thousands of years, and their numbers only continue to rise. Today there are three cats for every dog on the planet, and yet cats remain more mysterious, even to their most adoring owners. In Cat Sense, renowned anthrozoologist John Bradshaw takes us further into the mind of the domestic cat than ever before, using cutting-edge scientific research to explain the true nature - and needs - of our feline friends. Tracing the cat’s evolution from solitary hunter to domesticated companion, Bradshaw shows that cats remain independent, predatory, and wary of social contact.

Even though cats are fairly hearty and healthy, they do require some basic care. This includes looking after their emotional health as well as their physical wellbeing. With just a little bit of practice, caring for your cat can be enjoyable as well as rewarding. If you're thinking about adopting a pet, and considering your new family member to be a cat, you need to know the basics of how to take care of a cat. People who have busy lifestyles might prefer a cat rather than a dog because they require less attention than dogs.

In this book, Galaxy tells the poignant story of his 13-year relationship with a petite gray-and-white short-haired cat named Benny, and gives singular advice for living with, caring for, and loving the feline in your home. When Benny arrived in his life, Galaxy was a down-and-out rock musician with not too much more going on than a part-time job at an animal shelter and a drug problem. Benny's previous owner brought the cat to the shelter in a cardboard box to give him up.

Excellent Resource for Kitten Owners

Would you listen to Complete Kitten Care again? Why?

Yes, although I'd prefer having a hard copy of this book in my personal library because of all of the excellent pieces of advice that I'd like to refer to again at a later date. My two cats are 4 years old, but I learned a lot that I didn't know by listening to this book. The author had a very pleasant voice to listen to and she read with passion. You could tell she believed in what she was saying and cared about the health and well-being of cats.

What did you like best about this story?

Rich information about kitten care.

Have you listened to any of Amy Shojai’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is my first, but I do plan on listening to others.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There were several sections in the book that I rewound and listened to again. It is difficult to narrow it down to one section. I felt as though Amy was in the car with me talking to me as I was listening to the book.

Any additional comments?

I look forward to listening to other books by this author.

The essential kitten manual

I've rescued and raised hundreds of kittens over the years, (many of them orphans only hours old) yet Amy has still managed to teach me a thing or two about kitten care. Her style of writing is clear and effective. She approaches her subject matter in a logical, easy-to-understand manner and she clearly has vast knowledge not only of kittens but about cats and other animals in general.
What really stood out for me in this audio version of her book was her genuine love for animals. This is evident in the emotion clearly discernable in her voice when she deals with difficult subjects such as euthanasia and abandoned or orphaned kittens.
In this book you will find everything you need to know about caring for a kitten and so much more. It is the most comprehensive guide to kitten care that I've ever read - buy it and see for yourself - and I highly recommend it as a reference for all cat lovers, whether you only want to keep pedigreed cats or whether you are a rescuer of street moggies, whether you're an experienced breeder or you've never handled a cat in your life. This book covers the full spectrum and it's certainly a book I'll be returning to time and time again.
As a very experienced "kitten mom" the selling point for me was Amy's description of how to tube-feed a kitten. I've always been afraid to try it because of the risk of getting the feeding formula down the trachea instead of the oesophagus. Amy's clear, concise instructions made it actually sound easy!
