Unlock the secrets of your feline friend with Cat Zen by Mark Vette.

Drawing from over four decades of experience, Mark Vette offers a fresh perspective on understanding and training cats.

This book is more than a manual; it's an invitation to see your cat with new eyes. Discover science-backed and proven techniques to nurture your cat's intelligence and social skills, build a lasting bond, discourage hunting and address behavioural issues.

Learn how to:

  • Nurture your cat's intelligence and social abilities
  • Raise a happier, more confident and emotionally resilient cat
  • Understand the critical nature of the kitten's formative period
  • Embrace your cat's unique personality and build a special, lasting bond with it
  • Discover practical methods so your cat adapts to new experiences and environments
  • Resolve behaviour issues in an adult cat
  • Raise a cat that doesn't hunt

Whether you have a cat or a kitten, Cat Zen provides practical advice to help you understand itβ€”not just manage itβ€”and will leave you full of wonder for your remarkable companion.
