you're a fool! Filled with witty original illustrations, this book
offers many reasons why your pampered puss thinks you're ridiculous

moggy and allow them to explain why they act the way they do.

such a joy. Little compares to the delight of cuddles on the couch,

you do when your furry friend starts scratching all the furniture,
ruining the flower beds, stealing your food and generally wreaking
havoc? Luckily, this entertaining guide is here with top tips and
tricks to tame your cat when the wild beast comes out, so you can
spend more time giving head scritches and less time worrying about
the state of your curtains. Become an elite cat parent with these
nuggets of wisdom: - If you're worried about items crashing to the
floor, attach ornaments with string and they won't make such a
satisfying "THUNK" noise - City cats love the daily discipline of
being taken for a walk; give it a try and observe the calming
effect it has on them - Install a security-grade toilet-paper guard
to avoid unsolicited homemade confetti
This hilarious and heartfelt gift book is the perfect guide to the
many reasons why your dog thinks you are a hero Owning a dog is to
have a four-legged best friend who worships your every move. Each
time you walk through the door, you become the centre of their
universe, and their love for you is only matched by their love of
scoffing sausages and chasing cats. As their amazing owner, you
know what it takes to care for them, but allow this book to show
how much it means to your furry friend. Filled with witty original
illustrations, this book explains the curious reasons behind all
your dog's goofy looks and behaviours. Discover what your dog is
saying through their barks and tail wags, and why they think you're
the best. Whether you're leaving enough room for them on the sofa,
taking them for walkies or always bringing them treats, you really
are the hero in their big puppy-dog eyes.
Err, I think you mean Downward Cat How can you tell whether your
cat is purrfecting its Sphinx pose or just being, well, a cat? You
may think your cat is just a naturally bendy weirdo, but the truth
is, they're probably one of the growing number of Zen Yogi Cats -
and this book is here to expose what happens when yoga and cats
collide. Whether they're paws-ing to enjoy their morning Sun
Salutations, working on their flexibility, searching for the divine
(laser) light or exhaling hairballs, these cats are getting their
om-meow on in the world of Cat Yoga.
Cats are natural-born yogis - they know this - and when you're
practising your poses, be it cobra, cow or even crow, you'd better
be ready for your kitty to upstage you. With charming illustrations
and easy-to-follow yoga poses, this delightful guide will help you
perfect the "cat stretch" and maybe even impress your flexible
feline friend.
Repeat this mantra to yourself whenever you're feeling anxious: "I
flow from a place of grace." Peace. Gratitude. Concentration.
Stillness. Serenity. Composure. Focus. Whether they're honing their
powers of concentration (have you ever seen anyone focus on
something so intently as a mutt with a bone?), being in the moment
(a snooze is so much more satisfying when you really appreciate the
snooze), or taking time to explore their senses (all those bottoms
aren't going to sniff themselves), dogs are paragons of
mindfulness. So maybe they're not always quite as composed or
graceful as they'd like, but at least they're trying - and we could
all learn a lot from these enlightened pups.
The secret's out! When you look into your baby's big, beautiful
eyes, it can be hard to know what on earth is going through their
curious minds. Well you needn't wonder any more, because after
delving deep into baby psychology we can now reveal the real
thoughts behind those adorable pudgy faces. Find out what they're
really thinking when you blow raspberries on their tum-tum or
"steal" their nose, why they particularly enjoy spitting up over
your nice clean top, and what that funny expression means when you
make them wear "novelty" onesies.
