Know your cat

Very good book that give excellent insight into cat behavior. Also good info on basic knowledge of other animal behaviors. Overall a good book. Not too much to read also.

A revolutionary approach to understanding your cat

This author has a weekly column in our newspaper. I look forward to reading it each week, and loved his book. He has a unique way of looking at cat behavior, and cat health issues. He's a well-qualified vet, who is willing to look beyond the typical approach to animal well-being. Great resource book for those who are truy interested in keeping their cats healthy and happy.

A "must-have" for anyone who lives with a cat!

It's a terrific book by a person who has dedicated his life to understanding animal behaviors, and although this book mainly confirms the things that I already know about our furry companions, I am learning a few new things, too. I'd like to get Dog Body, Dog Mind: Exploring Canine Consciousness and Total Well-Being, as well, because I find the author's approach to writing both entertaining and, more importantly, informative. It is Fox's goal to help people have better relationships with their animal companions by learning a bit more about their behaviors and how to communicate with them. The writing can be characterized as a mixture of philosophic anecdotes and actual explanations of animal behaviors and conditions which I find to be not unlike one of my most beloved authors, James Herriot. I highly recommend this book!
