Product Description
In this companion to her successful introduction to cat behavior Think Like a Cat , Pam Johnson-Bennett, the award-winning author and feline behaviorist, shows how adding another cat to your home does not have to be the start of a kitty apocalypse. Although cats are often misunderstood as natural loners, Johnson-Bennett shows how to plan, set up, and maintain a home environment that will help multiple cats?and their owners?live in peace. Cat vs. Cat will helpreaders understand the importance of territory, the specialized communication cats use to establish relationships and hierarchies, and how to interpret the so-called "bad behavior" that leads so many owners to needless frustration. Offering a wealth of information on how to diffuse tension, prevent squabbles and ambushes, blend two families, or help the elder kitty in your family, Cat vs. Cat is a welcome resource for both seasoned and prospective guardians of cat families large and small.

I've lived in a multi-cat household for years now and although this book contains loads of tips you already know, have worked out or picked up along the way, it still has those extra bits you haven't come across.
Several tips are about things i get asked regularly from people who are introducing a new cat for the first time, usually after the newbie has been there a few weeks and the problems have started. It's a real must have guide for those who already have a multi-cat household or for those who may have in future.

I nearly put the book down when I read in the first few pages that 'first of all' all cats must be neutered. Good advice, but I have a breeding queen! I read on though and found the book full of good advice. The author explains how the various 'undesirable' behaviours are linked to perfectly sensible feline behaviour. Dog meets dog: sniff,wag tail,play... cat meets cat :sniff,hiss, spit, attack, one running off. Reading the book I realized how lucky I have been with previous feline additions to the household. The author goes thtough the different scenarios of 'stressed,unhappy' cat community and gives practical (though sometimes time consuming )advice on how to overcome it. The very best advice is surely to read this book BEFORE your new cute feline heart throb enters the house.
My unneutered female may well have been 'hormonal' and that's why she went on the war path.Nevertheless, I tried some of suggestions and got feliway ... stroked one, then the other... distracting her when she was battle ready... and..and...Peace? - don't know, lets call it guarded co-existence. Nuru (the victim) is very grateful.
