Is there a feisty feline in your life? Does Kitty like to sharpen her claws on the sofa, the curtains, and even your legs? This friendly, practical guide is designed to help cat owners identify and correct troublesome behaviors, including climbing, scratching, and excessive "talking," as well as litter box training and diet tips. Everything you need to understand and deal with your cat's behavior can be found in this new book from respected vet and cat expert, Sarah Heath. Who says you can't train a cat? Unlike standard cat books, this reference book helps owners understand why Kitty does what she does and provides simple ways to retrain her. People are cat crazy! The pet market is booming--and in the U.S. alone, there are more than 81.4 million cats. Cat fanciers will be dying to get their claws into this book.
