This book was recommended to me by a fellow cat lover and as a proud mom of four felines I have to say this is a MUST HAVE! The writer goes deeper into the notion of cat play and beyond the simple, it's just a hunting instinct explanation. He provides detailed directions on various play methods and what they would represent in the cat's life. I highly recommend having this book handy for all other loving cat parents to help foster an even more loving and interactive bond with your kitties! - Sasha K. As a fellow cat-person working as a technician assistant in the veterinary field, I have to say that Play Like a Cat is a highly useful book that gives insights into playtime from a cat's perspective. It encompasses ideas of cat play that do not require expensive toys or complicated set-ups. Having worked and volunteered in animal shelters, I particularly appreciate the final chapter about training the bitey-scratchy kitty, and the difference it makes for cat and human. This book is excellent for new cat adopters, those considering adoption, and cat veterans alike. I highly recommend Play Like a Cat. - Ursula E., Vet Tech Assistant I love this book! I know nothing about cats but everything about dogs. I'm a huge animal lover and started drinking catnip tea. I thought I should really find out why cats love this and now I know so much more about them, including bubbles and paper bags. Even if you don't own a feline, it's a really good read. - Heddi Cundle, Dog Person
