Product Description

There are happy cats, and there are happy cats. Which kind of cat is yours? You may be surprised...

Here it is, straight and simple. Even the most well-intentioned, doting cat owner can (and often does) create an environment in which the beloved feline feels less than comfortable. Think about it: we humans create homes that feel, smell, sound, and look good to us -- not our cat. But fear not. Here in 250 Things You Can Do To Make Your Cat Adore You, a top animal expert, cat lover, and listener gives you insight from the cat's point of view, as well as practical and simple things you can do, to accommodate the cat's wishes so that nothing feels, smells, sounds, looks, or tastes at best unappealing, at worst harmful. With tips on how to:

• read your pet's body language
• use holistic remedies for common cat maladies
• discover human traits that cats love -- and loathe

and much, much more. With this book you can end kitty boredom forever and improve most behavior or health problems if they exist. And if they don't, here's an opportunity to make your happy cat happier!

From Booklist
How serious are your patrons about making their felines happy cats? Serious enough to change litter daily? To choose household products based on how cat friendly they are, not on their cost? To search out specialty foods and holistic remedies, such as clematis and chicory? Readers concerned about their responsibilities as cat companions will get lots of good advice from Newkirk, cofounder of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals and author of a number of other animal-care books. 250 Things discusses around-the-house improvements and dangers, ways to keep house cats' minds and bodies active, common physical problems, multiple cats in one house, how to "read" cat communications, and what cats eat (from healthy food to potential poisons). Although not essential, Newkirk's guide is likely to circulate where interest in feline friends is high. Mary Carroll
