Understand your cat to give them a happy life Unlock the secret code of cats for a deeper connection with the feline in your life. Why does my cat always sleep on my keyboard How can I stop them bullying the dog Why will they only drink from the bathroom tap Do they even like me If you've ever wondered, as they sit on your head at 4am, what's going on behind your cat's inscrutable gaze, this book has the answers. Drawing on animal behaviour psychology and the latest research, it reveals what's really behind the amusing, endearing, or downright weird things cats do. Cats may not telegraph their emotions (unlike the dogs they look down on!) but they do show their feelings, often quite subtly. With gorgeous, accurate illustrations, this book helps you to interpret your cat's body language and behaviours, so you'll know when they're confident and contented, and when they're telling you that something's not right. Advanced Catwatching features put the spotlight on key behaviours such as sofa-scratching, while Survival Guides offer top tips for managing challenges such as moving house, or introducing a new cat into the family. What's My Cat Thinking will deepen your understanding of your cat and strengthen the unique connection between you. So when they give you that 4am wake-up call, at least you'll know why.
