While we all know it's a fact that cats rule the household, there are many facts people don't know about their feline friends, and they're here for the revealing in this quirky compendium for cat-lovers (and those who tolerate them). Dr. Marty Becker and syndicated columnist Gina Spadafori, compile the best questions they've ever received from readers and fans to give people the skinny on things they've never dared to ask about cats but often wondered (or not) like: Is it true that cat sex lasts only three seconds? Do cats always land on their feet? Do cats have nine lives? Why do cats' claws detract? Whats the best way to give my cat medicine? Do cats need a good flashlight or can they see fine in the dark? Do feline feces have healing powers? Does my crazy aunt hold the record for the number of cats living in a single dwelling? Where did the term "cat's pajamas" come from? Does my cat nap too much? Is it true that cats are the only domestic animal whose I LOVE CATS!I LOVE CATS!I LOVE CATS!I LOVE CATS!I LOVE CATS! points backwards? Why does a cat arch its back? What exactly is in that hairball my cat just coughed up? With an entertaining mix of laugh-out-loud humor and practical information, this is the perfect gift for any cat lover.
Customer Review: Cats De-Mystified!
As a pet care columnist and behavior consultant, I've fielded my share of similar purr-snickety questions. After co-authoring two "Chicken Soup" pet books with Dr. Marty Becker, I'm jealous that my friend Gina Spadafori had the fun this time around. And I only hope my answers offer as much insight and entertainment as my colleagues' in this delightful "uncensored" cat-alogue of all-things feline! While some questions may seem tongue-in-furry-cheek, and the answers tickle feline funnybones, the bottom line means more edu-tainment for cat-loving readers. And that's just plain good medicine for kitty-cats and the humans who love them. Bravo! Amy D. Shojai, CABC, pet care columnist, founder of the Cat Writers Association, and author of 20+ books including PETiQuette: Solving Behavior Problems in Your Multipet Household.
Customer Review: Everyone Knows, Cats Rule!
As a Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, and cat lover (13 cats of my own!), I am faced with these feline queries every single day. My colleague, Dr. Marty Becker, and his co-author, Gina Spadafori, have captured the essence of "cat-dom"! Kudos for creating a guide to the mind, body, and psyche of these magical creatures who share our world.
