From John Bradshaw one of the world's leading experts on animal behaviour & the author of the Sunday Times Bestseller In Defence of Dogs Cat Sense shows us the true surprising nature of cats Cats are the most popular pet in the world They outnumber the dog man's 'best friend' by three to one Yet today they face unprecedented challenges in their life with humans from conservationists who cast them as a threat to wildlife; from other cats who they compete for territory with; & from good-intentioned owners & vets with misconceptions of what they require Cats need not so much our sympathy but our understanding Cat Sense offers us for the first time a truly scientific yet deeply affectionate picture of one of humanity's closest & most enigmatic companions'A mind-altering book delightful'
- Lynne Truss The Times ' Exceptionally thorough Bradshaw's concern & love for cats shines through You could buy a dozen books by the many cat whisperers cat gurus & cat therapists that exist in our feline-obsessed modern world but their accumulated wisdom would probably not help you understand your cats as well as Cat Sense'
- Tom Cox Observer' An entertaining book written in a relaxed style'
- James Mc Connachie Sunday Times' Witty surprising writing There is his delight in detail a talent for dismantling myths but most importantly an ability to build a coherent & entertaining theory from an apparent contradiction that all cat-lovers will recognise we seek to understand cats even though it is our lack of understanding that makes us love them'
