Reviews

"This handy guide from veterinarian and feline-behavior specialist Hattori, of the Tokyo Cat Clinic, will help cat owners better know their pets, with both surprising facts (injured cats may use purring to hasten the healing process) and hilarious realness (Cats often ignore their owners' call simply because they're not interested). . . . A very appealing, beyond-the-basic reference." --Booklist

"In Japan's rarified world of cat doctors, the vet Hattori is very much a superstar - but now there is a chance for English-speaking feline fans to benefit from his wisdom thanks to What Cats Want." --The Observer

"Essential for any cat lover . . . this book will go above and beyond your questions . . . like any relationship, a level of understanding can build happiness and trust, and this book is a great tool to enhance this between you and your cat." --How It Works

Wish you had a cat-to-human translation guide to help you decode your cat's feelings Look no further! . . . [an] invaluable guide. - Catster
