Think Like a Cat
Think Like a Cat: How to Raise a Well-Adjusted Cat--Not a Sour Puss | Pam Johnson-Bennett
9 posts | 4 read | 1 reading | 9 to read
Think it's impossible to train a cat? Think again! Yes, you can learn to understand your cat. No, cats are not always aloof. No, they don't ruin furniture out of spite. Most often feline "misbehavior" is the result of owners not understanding their cat's needs. In this comprehensive book that takes readers through every step of cat ownership, Pam Johnson-Bennett helps you understand the instincts that determine feline behavior, positive and negative. An authoritative resource for cat owners of all stripes, Think Like a Cat covers everything from where to get a kitten to choosing a vet; from basic health care to treating more serious medical problems; from selecting an irresistible scratching post to avoiding litter box problems. A seasoned therapist and former veterinary technician, Johnson-Bennett offers welcome advice in a straightforward manner that will help cats--and their owners--share a happy, healthy life together.

"And in memory of one special cat, Ethel, for a debt I can never repay."

Many of us probably have debt towards our first cat. Seeing ourselves through our cats' eyes can make us better persons.
This book is a fantastic guide and I wish I have read it before adopting my first cat. I did some of the things right based on a few facts I knew, but there are others I could have done better and will definitely take into consideration for the future.

'You are soon to enter into a relationship in which you are unconditionally loved, endlessly forgiven for your mistakes, never judged, and constantly entertained. A cat can make the stresses of your day disappear just by curling up in your lap at night. A cat will adore you on those days when you look your worst. A cat is a patient listener, even when you're telling a story for the third time. A cat will show you how to enjoy life.'

Graywacke I think your kitty agrees. (I have one here next me that says that all good when he‘s in the mood.) 2y
IuliaC @Graywacke The perfect saying, that's so typical of them 😻 2y

Our new arrival requires some extra work, so I went to Pam for some advice. I hadn‘t read this book before and honestly think everyone that is going to or does own a cat should read it. I consider myself pretty knowledgeable in cat behavior and cat parenting, but I learn something (and sometimes many somethings) every time I pick up one of her books. Huey‘s also starting to relax a bit more, whether it‘s related or not who knows, but I‘ll take it.

My Snooty Girl is basking in the sunshine coming through the window while the temperature slowly drops outside from an incoming cold front. Is your temps dropping too? What do you have lined up to read while we're all bundled up and cozy inside for the next few days? #WinterReading #SnootyTheFlamePointSiamese

Oh, #Coale! I guess he's not the party animal we thought he was. This is what happens when he stays up watching video games with me and @BookBabe --he naps and naps and naps the whole day through. Silly boy, he is. #catsofLitsy

Suzze Tink is laying in EXACTLY the same position right now. They must have hangovers and are keeping the light out if their eyes. 7y

Oh, #Coale! He must've seen daddy rather exhausted after shoveling out our big driveway today and helping others with theirs, and maybe he's figured that some cuddling time will help to rejuvenate me? 😊😍😻!!! #catsofLitsy
