This is an excellent book that I checked out from the local library. I have four cats and two of them are going on ten years of age. As they get older their behavior has started to change and it has alerted me. Having two senior cats, one young cat, and a kitten has made my house interesting. While my human children are at school I find myself dealing with more cat issues. My pets are like my children and I want them to thrive. If you love your pets than this is a book that is meant for you. (

This book had some interesting stories but throughout it basically says "You're a horrible cat owner and this is why." Maybe it's just me. Maybe I'm just consumed with guilt but I found this to be a very unpleasant and unhappy read. If you keeps your cats in the house and don't have an entire room dedicated to them, don't read this. You'll feel terrible afterward. (

This was an enlighting and educational read, exploring the underlying causes of problematic cat behaviour. I do hope her clients didn't mind featuring in the book though!
