Book Hero thinking about your next read

Cat Body Language looks at all the postures cats are likely to adopt in and around the home, both with other cats and with their owners.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Most humans don't speak 'cat,' so sometimes miscommunication between pets and their people can result in discontented kitties with behavioural problems. At last, help is on hand in the new Cat Body Language Phrasebook.

This small format picture-reference book tackles 100 of the most common types of cat body language.

Divided into categories of cat behaviour, including contentment, anger, fear, and playfulness, photos and captions clearly explain common behaviours like licking and purring and what your cat's tail might be telling you.

Helpful fact boxes include advice on how to determine if your cat is unwell, common traits of certain breeds, and how to solve common problems like furniture scratching, carpet digging, and bringing mice and birds into the house.

This unique guide also addresses cat behaviour when there are multiple cats in a household or when your cat doesn't have outside access.
