American College of Veterinary Behaviorists

The cutting-edge, scientifically accurate, definitive book on the most popular behavioral issues that cats face In the United States, one of the predominant reasons that owners abandon or give up their pets (often leading to euthanasia) is because of unwanted behaviors. Many have tried to instruct proper cat training, but this is the first book of its kind to provide an in-depth understanding of the underlying reasons for a cat's problem behavior, the essential key to unlocking the best for your cat and avoiding pitfalls. Decoding Your Cat gives owners new insight on promoting their cat's physical and psychological health and wellness and maintaining a long and fulfilling relationship together. Written by the leading experts in cat behavior from the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists, with an introduction by animal expert Steve Dale, this book conveys the newest and best information on cat behavioral science in a fun, interesting, and understandable way. Together with anecdotes from real life situations and the science behind how cats relate to their world, Decoding Your Cat empowers owners to provide a home environment that is happy, safe, and functional, to identify and seek treatment for medical health problems, to understand how to deal with unwanted behaviors, and in general to help cats live longer and fuller lives.

Decoding Your Cat

Briar's Reviews

Decoding Your Cat is a useful tool for those seeking more information about owning a cat.

I've had cats my entire life, so a book like this was super intriguing to read. I did learn some new information (like the fact that training cats can be possible, although my cats rule the roost so I doubt that will ever happen), which made this book quite pleasurable to read. It's thorough and helpful for new and old cat owners and lovers alike. It has information about health, behaviour and communication, and more! If you're seeking a beginners guide to understanding cats, grab this book! It's super helpful.

Four out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.

It took me longer than usual to read this but primarily because it's CHOCK FULL of information! I wanted to let it breathe and take some time with all the things I learned before I moved on to consuming more information and I definitely think that's the way to approach this book. It has a lot of helpful tips and tricks to make your cat's life better and your relationship with them better. We've started implementing some tricks from this book and already see a noticeable change. While some information is definitely aimed at new pet owners or prospective pet owners, this is worth picking up if you've had a cat for a long time and think you've got it down - you'll quickly learn there are things you can tweak to be an even greater friend to your feline companion.
