What Cats Want
What Cats Want: An Illustrated Guide for Truly Understanding Your Cat | Yuki Hattori
5 posts | 3 read | 1 to read
Japan's leading cat doctor tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about feline behaviour Cats are so mysterious. Why do they feel the impulse to climb into tiny spaces? Why do they get that feverish energy at dusk? And for an owner, what is the best way to stroke them? Dr. Yuki Hattori is an internationally recognised specialist in feline behaviour, and can give the answers to all of this and more. His guidance is well-organised and practical, with a different theme on each spread and humorous, clear illustrations showing exactly what to look for including how to interpret your cat's meows, tail flicks and facial expressions! For new cat owners, What Cats Want will prove to be an invaluable guide. For those who already know their cat well, familiar wisdom is enhanced with new insights about the subtleties of cat behaviour and care. Not only will getting along with your cat help it to live a long and contented life, but it will make YOU feel happy too. Purr.

I've been working so much lately. I ended up taking a social media vacation because I had no time. I'm slowly catching up. We adopted this little guy months ago. He's a joy. It's so nice to have a lap cat reading buddy.

A good guide especially for newer cat owners who didn‘t grow up with a pet cat. It‘s all fairly general and simplified, which makes it easy to flip to a page and see what you could improve. I appreciate that the author takes the time to mention the health hazards of letting cats wander outside unsupervised.

Since this is general, maybe look elsewhere if you‘re dealing with a specific problem

Overall, a good guide to cats. Covers everything from body language, to picking litter, feeding, finding a vet, bedding, toys, scratching posts, and aging. My only complaint is a comment about leaving your pet in a car on a hot day when traveling, though I realize temps can very greatly depending on where you‘re located. Good reference guide or gift for new cat owners.
