For a happy relationship with your cat, go beyond the looks and
make your pick based on demonstrated breed behavior. This is the
advice of the Harts, two experts in animal communication and
behavior, whose new book takes the process of selecting a cat to
the next level by offering data-based behavioral profiles of a wide
range of cat breeds. Developed over a lifetime of research and
through extensive interviews with eighty veterinary experts, the
profiles are presented in easy-to-use graphical form. A history of
the development of different breeds is presented, and then
breed-specific differences across a range of variables are
discussed. These include twelve behavioral traits, in areas such as
affection, sociality, activity level, and litter box use. After
giving guidance about choosing a cat, the authors present some
strategies for avoiding problem behaviors and resolving those that
emerge. They also share fascinating theories about the origins of
various common cat behaviors, including purring, yawning, eating
grass, “flipping out” on catnip, and staking out territory.
While the focus is on purebred cats, there is also lots of good
information for owners of blends. The book ends with helpful
guidance on further reading. Based on the latest science, this is a
great book for anyone interested in the fundamental building blocks
of feline behavior, and an invaluable handbook for cat owners.
