Cats are fascinating creatures; they live so closely with us, but can be difficult to fathom. Yet they do give us clues as to how they are feeling and what they are thinking - it is up to us to decipher them. Who would have guessed that, just as we thought, our cats have their own personalities which need an individual approach because no two cats are the same. In Claire Bessant's new update of her original bestselling book, she explores new ideas and findings to help us to understand and appreciate our own individual cats, to figure out how they approach life and to help us to figure out how we can bond with them more closely. How to Talk to Your Cat will help all cat owners and lovers to appreciate the dynamic between our two very different species to learn how to understand our own cats. The key to success is, of course, to learn to think like a cat!

Cats are, without question, our favourite pets. Over the thousands of years that they have been domestic pets, a very real understanding has evolved between them and their human counterparts. Written by the country's leading veterinary journalist and cat expert, this book is a comprehensive guide to forging a more meaningful bond with your pet, to make life happier for both of you. The book explains how cats function as cats - what they like, what they dislike, how they behave - and uses that knowledge to help you build a real relationship with your pet on a day-to-day basis. When problems occur, you will learn why they exist and what you can do to solve them. By finding out more about your cat, you will appreciate it even more, not only for its natural behaviour and abilities, but for the fact that it can share its life with us in such a smooth and rewarding manner.
