"A must-read for any cat lover, Cat Sense is a revolutionary new account from one of the leading scientific experts on these little-understood animals. As he did in his acclaimed, best-selling Dog Sense, Bradshaw combines the most up-to-date research with fascinating case studies to paint an unprecedentedly detailed portrait of the domestic cat"-- Provided by publisher.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Don't bother... Seriously. submitted by jbpuckett on January 3, 2014, 10:21am This book could be good. An anthropological look at the history of domestic cats. I could work with that. But this author is a moron. He doesn't know enough to keep his house cat indoors and get them fixed. I've never met a cat who isn't content to live indoors once fixed and provided with a steady diet of fresh food and water. And I've met a lot of cats. And a lot of people who care for cats.

And the anthropology, ostensibly Bradshaw's area of expertise... he drones on like an abhorred college professor. I can just see him standing in front of a huge lecture hall boring his students to sleep - the ones who bother to attend anyway. He didn't even try to imbue his subject matter with some of the liveliness of cats.

If you really want to know how to care for your cats sensibly and keep them (and the humans in the house) happy, check out http://www.wayofcats.com/blog/. I have been reading Pam's advice for years and it is the best and most comprehensive guide for cats I've ever read (Pam doesn't pay me to say that, I really believe it).
