I think they know what I'm reading... #catsoflitsy

umbrellagirl Your kitty is giant! 6y
lorannen @umbrellagirl She is definitely one large floof! Though I think her position in the foreground exaggerates her size a bit, too. 6y
rubyslippersreads My cats laughed hysterically when they saw this title. 😹 6y

We recently adopted a cat from the Humane Society. She was picked up with wounds along her neck and shoulders.

In order to increase our chances of a happy integration, we picked up this book. After 5 weeks... Success! (She's the small one.)

Many of the training tips are rather complex, and I'd love to see more tips on how to get them to stop doing things. But this book provides some good insight into cat psychology.

Sadie does not consider this one of the #bestblurbs; she considers it ludicrous (tho she agrees cats can do anything better than dogs. 😸) #bestbookblurbs #seasonsreadings2016 #catsoflitsy #kittenlitten
