The Ultimate Experts Explain Common Cat Behaviors and Reveal How to Prevent or Change Unwanted Ones

By: American College of Veterinary Beha

Narrated by: Lisa Flanagan

The cutting-edge, scientifically accurate, definitive book on the most popular behavioral issues that cats face

In the United States, one of the predominant reasons that owners abandon or give up their pets (often leading to euthanasia) is because of unwanted behaviors. Many have tried to instruct proper cat training, but this is the first book of its kind to provide an in-depth understanding of the underlying reasons for a cat’s problem behavior, the essential key to unlocking the best for your cat and avoiding pitfalls. Decoding Your Cat gives owners new insight on promoting their cat’s physical and psychological health and wellness and maintaining a long and fulfilling relationship together.

Written by the leading experts in cat behavior from the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, with an introduction by animal expert Steve Dale, this book conveys the newest and best information on cat behavioral science in a fun, interesting, and understandable way. Together with anecdotes from real life situations and the science behind how cats relate to their world, Decoding Your Cat empowers owners to provide a home environment that is happy, safe, and functional, to identify and seek treatment for medical health problems, to understand how to deal with unwanted behaviors, and in general to help cats live longer and fuller lives.

A great guide to cats

I really liked this book. This answered all my questions I have about my cats.

FANTASTIC! Everything a cat-lover needs to know

I just finished listening to this book. It's long but it's worth it. They explain the science behind cat behavior and how we can use that knowledge to better work with our feline friends.

My partner and I just adopted two kittens. We've had cats before but never kittens and we really want to do everything right. This book has given me everything I need to know.

We've been applying the principles in this book to teach our little ones not to jump up on the counters, not to climb the curtains etc. The knowledge from the experts who contributed to this book has really made raising this kittens so easy.

I strongly recommend this book to anyone who lives with a cat, is thinking of living with a cat... not matter what the cat's age.

You can thank me later, LoL!
