 (How
to Raise a Well Adjusted Cat- Not a Sour
Puss)
Publisher: Penguin Books New York, NY
Whether you’re a veteran cat lover, a
brand-new owner of a sweet little kitten, or
the frustrated companion of a feline whose
behavior is driving you crazy, nationally
acclaimed feline expert Pam
Johnson-Bennett helps you understand what
makes your cat tick – as well as meow,
scratch, and purr.
Yes, you can learn to understand your
cat. No, cats are not always aloof. No, they
do not ruin furniture out of spite and
intentionally do things to annoy you. Most
often, these and many other feline fallacies
are the result of a communication breakdown
between you and your cat. In this
comprehensive and entertaining book, Pam
Johnson-Bennett helps you understand the
instincts that often determine feline
behaviors, both positive and negative. Using
behavior modification and interactive play
therapy techniques, she explains her
innovative methods that allow you to address
the destructive behaviors in ways acceptable
to both you and your cat – and help you
build a great relationship in the process.
More than just a behavior book, Think
Like a Cat is also an authoritative resource
for cat owners of all stripes. Topics range
from where to get a cat to selecting a vet;
from basic health care to treating more
serious medical problems; from choosing a
scratching post that your cat can’t resist
(really, it can be done) to secrets for
avoiding litter box problems. If you’ve been
unsuccessful in correcting your cat’s
behavior problems, Think Like a Cat will get
you and your cat back on track.
"Think Like a Cat should
be required reading for all cat owners. This
is so much more than a behavior book. Pam
has written the cat owner’s manual that you
wished you had when you got your first cat.
If you have a cat, buy this book. If you
know someone who shares their home with a
cat, buy it for them. Think Like a Cat will
surely enrich the bond between you and your
cat. It may even save your cat’s life and
your sanity."
Mark Waldrop, DVM
"This is a woman who knows cats. In a
quarter century of writing a pet column, I’d
rate her newest volume, "Think Like a Cat:
How to Raise a Well-Adjusted Cat, Not a Sour
Puss," the premier resource I’ve read about
cats."
Ranny Green, pet columnist for The
Seattle Times

"Think like a cat – it’s a tall order but sound
advice in a fun book full of expertise and
compassion, wisdom and the promise of great
cat-filled years to come."
Roger A. Caras, President, ASPCA,
author/broadcast correspondent
"No passport is required; Pam offers an
insightful and easy-to-follow tour of the land and
language of felines. By understanding cat culture,
you’ll learn what your cats are really trying to
tell you. Even experienced owners will benefit from
this book. Doggone it, I’m supposed to be an expert
myself – and as always, I’ve learned from Pam
Johnson-Bennett. She’s the Queen of cat behavior!"
Steve Dale, "My Pet World" syndicated
columnist & host of WGN’s "Pet Central"
"Pam Johnson-Bennett not only thinks like a cat
in her newest effort, she provides us with safe,
effective, humane solutions for our cats’ little
quirks that drive us crazy – then she explains the
"why" part, from the cat’s point of view, and the
"here’s what you could have done to prevent it"
part, so we don’t make the mistake with our next
cat. This book is full of helpful information on
rearing a healthy household cat – what to do, how to
do it and why she recommends doing it. Written as
though she is speaking personally to the reader,
Think Like a Cat has plenty of "how-to" lists,
personal stories, and fresh ideas to keep even the
most finicky readers engrossed in learning how to
raise a well-adjusted cat."
