 Disappointing attitude February 8, 2000

Though this books includes some interesting cat stories and some useful though somewhat preachy psychological insights, I found the author's attitude toward problem cats disappointing and upsetting. When confronted with a problematic spraying male her solution was to pack him and is overly neurotic companion off to barn where both quickly disappeared forever. Relocation of problem cats can sometimes be an acceptable and successful solution if proper preparations are made but it must be remembered that even normal cats become very stressed when brought to unfamilar surroundings. There are also many other treatments for behavioral problems(see Nicholas Dodman's: The Cat Who Cried For Help). People without experience may make mistakes in dealing with these problems but author far from expressing regret shifted the blame for the sad fate of these cats onto their faulty personalities. This book sets a bad example for inexperienced readers who may also be confronted with similar problems.
 I see everyone I know, including myself, in this book. January 25, 1999

Cat lovers are special people...one can have a deep insight into a person by observing the interaction of their pets with them. Besides the delight of identifying with similar behaviours my own cats throughout my life, I saw everyone I have ever known through my life identified in the behaviours allured to throughout the book, including myself. What a delight. I am buying this book for my most special friends, not all of them cat lovers.

I am a Japanese, I choosed this book to read during my vacation spending in a tropical island in Japan. Once I read this book in Japanese version, I remember the cat visits our home every mid night. Giving some food and our hag for the cat, she (the cat) makes my mother and me happy before we sleep. This book tells me about how to enjoy our life and be happy by oveserving animal and even just a small things around our any environment in our life. If you are justtired you life, I recommend this book to read.
Absolutely brilliant and insightful September 12, 1997

You don't have to be an animal lover to enjoy this book. It's not about cats, it's about life. The author has done a wonderful job of relating her cats' behavior to our own. By watching her pets, she shares lessons learned about human behavior. We could all benefit from these insights
