“Want to better understand your cat? In The Handbook for a Happy Cat, certified behaviourist Liesbeth Puts explains, solves, and demystifies confounding cat behaviour.” —Modern Cat
The Handbook for a Happy Cat takes us inside the feline mind to decode what our cats really want in life and how they try to tell us. You’ll learn:
- Why a bigger water bowl does away with “whisker stress”
- How to move like a mouse for maximum fun at playtime
- Skills to teach your kitten for a lifetime of easy vet visits, grooming, and more
- How to tell frolic from fighting in the multi-cat household (and how to give frenemies a fresh start)
- What makes a scratching post so tempting that your sofa will be spared
- How to reassure a spooked cat with the “slow blink”
- Why it’s pointless to “punish” a cat—but training is possible!
Certified behaviorist Liesbeth Puts traces every feline mystery to cats’ natural behavior and needs. A happy cat is a cat who can be herself!
