Overview

In the tradition of such beloved bestsellers as The Lion in the Living Room and Inside of a Dog comes the international sensation for feline lovers everywhere--a groundbreaking, in-depth exploration of the minds of cats that will help us better understand and connect with our cherished pets.Cats are mysterious creatures, and the relationship between humans and cats has never been simple. Curious and affectionate, independent and uninterested, predator and prey. Their true nature continues to elude us, and their subtle and complex behavioral problems can often seem unsolvable or incomprehensible. So, how can we tell if a cat is suffering? What are the root causes of feline aggression? And how can we treat patients who can't speak for themselves? In this fascinating book--already a bestseller in its native France--veterinary doctor and psychiatrist Claude Béata draws on cutting-edge research and decades of experience to revolutionize our understanding of cats and transform our appreciation of feline mental wellbeing. Here, we meet Nougatine, a Siamese suffering from bipolar dysthymic disorder, Tabatha, an anxious Ragdoll with attachment issues, and Melly, an Abyssinian struggling with a feline form of schizophrenia--as well as their owners who seek advice and support. Charming, surprising, and offering illuminating insight into a range of disorders, Béata's book calls for greater compassion and provides a new way of understanding cat behavior so we can care for the mental, and physical wellness of our beloved furry friends.
