Cat Sense: How the New Feline Science Can Make You a Better Friend to Your Pet
By John Bradshaw (2013)


About one-third of US households have at least one cat. John Bradshaw examines the newest research on how cats think and why they do what they do. He understands that the cat is still, in essence, a wild creature, and it is his owners who must come around to being a better friend too them, at their level. He examines, and give good advice, on cats' learning how to be domestic, and how they respond to thoughts and feelings, and how they look at other cats and humans, and how they respond as individuals, and as wildlife. He closes with a very interesting chapter on cats of the future; given our human propensity for altering our companions genetically, it is all very possible. This is a worthy companion to Bradshaw's Dog Sense. (Book News).
