Media reviews

"Ever wonder what lies behind those big yellow eyes? Cat lovers, wonder no more, as this tell-all guide exposes the secrets of the cat's most mystifying behaviors. A basic introduction sets the stage and reveals that despite centuries of living as domestic household pets, the cat has remained relatively unchanged from its ancient ancestors. These famously stubborn animals have adapted to use litter boxes and scratching posts – and Halls has the solutions when these adaptations go awry. Colorful sidebars provide real-life anecdotes, tips and advice, and a dose of cat trivia. All feline colors, shapes, and sizes are represented in the abundant photographs of cuddly kittens and lazy loungers. A thorough read guarantees cat owners will be able to calculate their cat's age in human years, effectively communicate their affections, and ensure they're supplying proper nutrition, toys, and love to their favorite furry feline."
- Annie McCormick, Booklist 2010

"Maybe this is the book every I'm-not-a-cat person person needs to read. Halls, a cat behaviorist and an author of several books on cat behavior, looks at the makeup of felines, their physical attributes (five toes on the front feet, four on the rear paws) and explains how to make life with the domestic cat more fulfilling, more fun [...] Even noncat people will be entertained and educated."
- William Hageman, Chicago Tribune 2011
