Cats Work Like This is for cat lovers who know that even after ten
thousand years of living with cats, no one really has a clue what
their cat is thinking. In this insider's guide to the habits of
these puzzling animals, the authors offer insights from two
generations of watching their cats work. They share the sometimes
hilarious and often astonishing observations on cats that have
accumulated over ages, and offer some useful insights into how to
understand your own cat. Though there are many famous felines, it
is the day to day cat which provides the most enduring interest.
Though each one's behaviour and mannerisms are unique, we can find
enough practices in common to guide you to becoming an expert in
how cats work. Chapters include Habits, with an insight into how
cats train you to have the right ones; and The Scientific Cat, with
observations and empirical learning following the classic
scientific method, as cats don't listen well enough to be subjects
in any other kind of experimentation. Learn how cats practice their
values and explore what your cats know about you. Find out what
cats do while you sleep, what a cat's eyes can tell you and what
there is to understand about political and 'eco' cats. With a focus
on attention, emotion, cute affection, manipulation, cunning and
cussedness, Cats Work Like This gives a rare insight into the
workings of a cat's elusive mind.
The perfect gift book for cat lovers everywhere, showing how to
measure your cat's intelligence in a series of easy and fun tests.
How clever is your cat? Can your cat: * Make sounds upon request? *
Predict a change in the weather? Or is your cat the type who *
Falls of ledges while sleeping? * Continually runs into walls or
doors? You can find out how smart your cat really is by giving him
or her the Cat IQ Test -- a simple, four-part intelligence test. By
observation and by using everyday household items, you will be able
to measure your cat's co-ordination, communication, social and
reasoning powers. Also includes: * Suggestions on how to improve
your cat's IQ. * Comparative scores of other cats by age, sex and
type. * A Certificate of Merit to be filled in and proudly
displayed on completion of the Cat IQ Test.

BODACIOUS: THE SHEPHERD CAT is a heart-warming and charming tale in
which Bodacious tells us about life as The Shepherd Cat on Black
Sheep Farm. 'I am Bodacious, The Shepherd Cat , and this is my
story. I wasn't always called Bodacious. I must have been called
something else in my kitten-hood in the nearby city of Kilkenny,
but it's all a bit of a mystery to My Human. As far as she's
concerned, I appeared one day and have never left. It's a secret I
plan to keep.' Written from the perspective of Bodacious the cat,
this is a beautifully written memoir of Bodacious's life on the
farm and everything that entails - early mornings, frosty starts,
beautiful sunrises, adventurous rare-breed Zwartbles sheep, hard
work, entertaining animals, mouth-watering food, kind people and
idyllic country living with its highs and lows. The Shepherd often
tells Bodacious her favourite story of how she went out to buy red
ribbon to wrap a gift for her friend, but instead came home with a
gift for herself: a daring, assertive, ambitious cat looking for a
home. But soon The Shepherd realises she needs Bodacious as much as
he needs her. As soon as he arrives, Bodacious saunters around the
farm like he owns the place and immediately establishes himself as
Top Cat. But Bodacious isn't content to pad round the house and
curl up by the Aga, and soon he befriends a farm cat called Oscar
who trains him in the ways of the farm. As well as Oscar, Bodacious
gets to know all the other animals on the farm - cats Miss Marley
and Ovenmitt, the scruffy border collie/fox terrier-cross called
Pepper, and The Big Fellow, to name a few. With wonderful
characterisation, humour, sharp observation, and a plucky attitude,
Bodacious shows us the ropes of Black Sheep Farm. As we soak in the
atmosphere of the house, the orchards and the fields, we also learn
how this Top Cat Shepherd got his name - by being 'Big, bold,
beautiful, bolshie', as his Shepherd always says...
