5.0 out of 5 stars A fascinating insight into the psyche of the cat, 10 Sep 2000

By A Customer

This is a beautiful book packed full of colour photographs.It answers questions that have intrigued many a cat lover. Such as why does a cat like being stroked? Why do cats sometimes reject their food? Why do cats eat grass? Having a few cats myself, I could identify with ever aspect of this book, and I now feel I understand them a little better. A must have for every cat lover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative, 17 Dec 2003

By	Aspie - See all my reviews

I have read the text-only version of this book and it was great. We've always had cats in our family from when I was little to now and I love them. This books explains things I never realised and certainly helps me understand more of their behaviour. For instance, when a cat rolls over exposing his or her tummy - you reach out to give the cat a tummy rub and the cat gets annoyed and walks off in a huff! Well now I know why.

It's not massively in depth, but I think it's great for any cat owner who wants to interact better with their pet.

I have now ordered this illustrated version as a present for my mum.

4.0 out of 5 stars The illustrations really make this book., 20 Jun 2006

By	MaryAnne "dubai-reader" (Dubai United Arab Emirates) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Fascinating reading, though lacking as a complete guide to cats.
I loved the illustrations, it's a beautiful coffee table book.
There are interesting sections, such as 'why do cats drink dirty water?'- bcause they are very sensitive to the chemicals in the nice clean water we give them, and 'why does the female scream during the mating act?'- because the male has spines on his penis (ouch!).
There are also many sections that cat lovers will skim because it's familiar territory.
I had hoped for something on helping cats integrate new animals into the house and teaching cats to avoid the road, but all in all I really enjoyed it.
