Customer Reviews

One of the Best Cat Behavior Books

I bought this book at the same time as I bought Pam Johnson's "Twisted Whiskers," & although Johnson's book is good, it's not as helpful as this book. The "Cat Behavior Answer Book" gave me a more thorough discussion of issues, & more specific solutions than Johnson's book. One of my cat's issues is night-time meowing, which wakes me up, & Moore's book helped me solve the problem more than Johnson's book did.

Learn facts that even your veterinarian may not know

This book has answers to questions even your veterinarian may not know! Highly recommended for anyone who loves cats and for those who may not due to lack of understanding! Heidi Pavia-Watkins, DVM

Quick and easy consultation by busy patron cat owners.

Cat owners - especially new ones - will relish a pocket-sized handbook which offers plenty of insights into cat behaviors and oddities. THE CAT BEHAVIOR ANSWER BOOK covers everything from fabric-sucking fetishes to noisy cats, droolers, and cats that beg for food. Libraries will find the sidebars of detail and the easy question-and-answer format lend to quick and easy consultation by busy patron cat owners. Diane C. Donovan California Bookwatch

This book is the Real Deal on the mysteries of kitty behavior

The number-one cause of death of cats and dogs under the age of three is preventable, behavior-related problems. Arden Moore is on a mission to change this deplorable statistic. With the publication of "The Cat Behavior Answer Book" (and its companion, "The Dog Behavior Answer Book"), Moore gives pet owners the tools and information they need to understand their cherished pets and manage any behavior challenges that arise. Packed with enlightening answers to real questions from real cat owners about real cat problems, this book reflect Moore's own kitty expertise (she's a longtime cat mom herself) as well as the latest scientific research into the quirks and mysteries of feline behavior. Moore's advice is sound, sensible, practical and always given in a warm, friendly, supportive tone. She's never judgmental and doesn't overcomplicate things. The compact, welcoming "handbook" format is inviting rather than intimidating, encouraging curious ailurophiles to flip to any page to listen in on Moore's warm, wise and witty advice. There's lots to learn, whether you're a new kitten parent or a veteran cat owner. Moore deeply empathizes with cats and their humans, and understands the complex relationships they share. She knows that just a bit of help in navigating the rough spots of feline-human life can strengthen the interspecies bond -- and save cats' lives. Get this book, and join Arden Moore on her mission.
