Love your cat, but hate its bad behavior? According to The Humane
Society of the United States, body language, behavior, and
vocalizations are keys to understanding the feline mind. If your
cat seems to be constantly aloof or is exhibiting bad behavior, you
may often wish you could speak directly to it about what it is
thinking. Fortunately, you can communicate and understand your pet
by studying its behavior and using the techniques found throughout
this book.
By observing a cat's body language and actions, we can guess at
how it might be feeling. Want to know why your cat constantly
hisses at strangers, frequently sulks, or attacks your feet while
you are sleeping? How to Listen to Your Cat covers major aspects of
feline behavior, including social behavior, protection of
territory, hunting tactics, reproduction, and interaction with
people and other pets. This book explores an array of behaviors
often found in cats and what these behaviors should signal to their
owners.
Learning to communicate with your kitty can help you know when
it's hungry, ready to play, content, or lonely. You will learn the
importance of positive reinforcement, details on how a cat learns,
how to develop a bond with your cat, and the basics of cat
training. This book explores how to teach your feline friend to use
the litter box, come when you call its name, and tolerate touch and
grooming. Teach your cat useful behaviors, such as walking on a
leash, sitting, staying, and standing, along with fun behaviors,
such as shaking hands, begging, and fetching.
Comfort, fright, and hunger are the main feelings displayed
among cats. The feelings result in a variety of behaviors. This
book provides a breakdown of how these feelings are shown through
changes in a cat's eyes, ears, mouth, tail, and posture. The tone
of a cat's cry, the perk of its ears, and the sway of its tail can
provide clues as to its intentions. This book also analyzes the
different sounds cats make, including purring, hissing, spitting,
and growling, and how these sounds tell owners what their cat is
feeling. A variety of emotions displayed in cats will be analyzed,
such as behaviors that suggest comfort, satisfaction with food, a
welcomed greeting, sleepiness, safety, and much more. This book
also offers photos so you can spot similar behavior in your own
pet.
Cats are known to have a variety of personalities. These
personalities and how they relate to different breeds are explored.
Tips on training your cat and preventing or stopping bad behavior
are given to promote peacefully cohabitation with your feline
friend. Advice is provided for addressing typical problem behaviors
among cats, including destructive scratching, spraying, aggression,
eating plants, and litter box issues.
