Cat Vs. Cat: Keeping Peace When You Have More Than One Cat
| Dog Books "For Dummies" |

| |
 |
In this companion to her successful introduction to cat behavior Think Like a Cat, Pam Johnson-Bennett,
the award-winning author and feline behaviorist, shows how adding another cat to your home does not
have to be the start of a kitty apocalypse. Although cats are often misunderstood as natural loners,
Johnson-Bennett shows how to plan, set up, and maintain a home environment that will help multiple
cats—and their owners—live in peace. Cat vs. Cat will help readers understand the importance of
territory, the specialized communication cats use to establish relationships and hierarchies, and how to
interpret the so-called “bad behavior” that leads so many owners to needless frustration. Offering a
wealth of information on how to diffuse tension, prevent squabbles and ambushes, blend two families,
or help the elder kitty in your family, Cat vs. Cat is a welcome resource for both seasoned and
prospective guardians of cat families large and small.

Cats can be difficult to understand. They often seem secretive, aloof, and maddeningly independent. But
they also earn deep love and devotion from millions of cat owners who cherish that incomparable feline
spirit. For cat lovers everywhere, pet expert Arden Moore explores cat behavior in an inviting, browsable
Q&A format. She answers the questions that come up again and again among devoted cat owners,
opening an intriguing window on the feline brain and physiology.
How, for example, can a cat in deep sleep three rooms away from the kitchen come zooming in within
seconds of the refrigerator door opening? It's not just instinct. Cats really do have amazing hearing.
Their ears are perfectly designed to pick up more sound vibrations and at higher frequencies than either
humans or even dogs. And what does it mean when a cat's tail swishes slowly from side to side? That
cat is probably getting ready to pounce on a mouse—either a toy or the real thing. Tail swishing is part of
the cat's predatory positioning.
In addition to explaining why cats do what they do, Moore shows readers how to prevent many common
feline problems. Her practical advice and workable solutions help cat owners work with their pets to
banish bad litter box habits, nighttime howling, and destructive clawing. Even finicky eaters can become
feline gourmands with a little gentle encouragement.
There are hundreds of tiny quirks and kooky habits that make a cat a cat. This sturdy, fun-to-read
handbook explains those catticisms and opens every cat lover's eyes to the complexity of feline
behavior. To know them is to love them!

Proven Solutions for Your Feline Questions
Twisted Whiskers: Solving Your Cat's Behavior Problems
From Library Journal
Johnson, a feline behavior consultant, details the causes of and suggests solutions for such common
cat problems as aggression, abnormal eating habits, and litter box difficulties. Her approach is to use
techniques that work in harmony with cats' natural proclivities and instincts. One section details the use
of Bach flower remedies in treating feline emotional problems, although readers interested in other
alternative treatments such as herbs and homeopathy may wish to consult Anitra Frazier's The New
Natural Cat (LJ 11/15/90). The book is repetitive in parts (the author recommends "play therapy" as
treatment for a wide variety of emotional maladies, and the use of an air ionizer is suggested many
times), but it does discuss many common behavior problems with more depth than most cat care
books, including Johnson's previous cat book, Cat Love (LJ 5/1/90). Not essential, but libraries with
large animal care collections may wish to consider.

Well-Adjusted Cat--Not a Sour Puss
A popular cat expert and award-winning author of four books on feline behavior reveals the key to a
satisfying and rewarding relationship with your cat.
Think it's impossible to train a cat? Think again! Yes, you can learn to understand your cat. No, cats are
not always aloof. No, they don't ruin furniture out of spite. Most often feline "misbehavior" is the result of

feline behavior, positive and negative. An authoritative resource for cat owners of all stripes, Think Like a
Cat covers everything from where to get a kitten to choosing a vet; from basic health care to treating
more serious medical problems; from selecting an irresistible scratching post to avoiding litter box
problems. A seasoned therapist and former veterinary technician, Johnson-Bennett offers welcome
advice in a straightforward manner that will help cats--and their owners--share a happy, healthy life
together.

The Cat Who Cried for Help: Attitudes, Emotions, and the
Psychology of Cats
Psychology of Cats
In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Nicholas Dodman does for feline psychology what he did for canines in
his widely acclaimed The Dog Who Loved Too Much. Here he reveals the fascinating, and often
frustrating, mind of one of our most popular--and certainly most independent--animal companions, and
shows how we can coexist peacefully with even the stubbornest of cats.
What do you do about a cat determined to tear your sofa to shreds? Or one who gorges himself on your
best running shoes . . . or attacks anyone who dares to open the refrigerator door? Drawing on
remarkable real-life stories from his practice at the prestigious Tufts University School of Veterinary
Medicine, Dr. Dodman shares the unique, compassionate, dramatically successful treatment programs
that have given problem cats a new lease on life . . . and their perplexed owners long-term solutions to
even the most intractable disorders.
As any cat owner knows, changing a cat's behavior can seem like an impossible task. But contrary to
popular belief, cats can be trained and cured of irritating habits and undesirable behaviors. The Cat
Who Cried for Help shows how minor adjustments in diet, exercise regimen, and environment can effect
dramatic breakthroughs in resolving almost any feline problem. From cat panic attacks to eating
disorders, from litterbox aversion to depression and a wide range of feline phobias, Dr. Dodman has
successfully treated and resolved these and many other heretofore untreatable behaviors.
Inside, you'll meet Ashley, the boss-cat who literally bites the hand that feeds him; Jonathan, the
binge-eater; Rubles, the Abyssinian Jekyll and Hyde, pussycat one minute, man-eating tiger the next;
and Thomas, the cat who cried for help--a little too loudly. Dr. Dodman's techniques are based on the
most up-to-date research in pharmacology and feline behaviorism. Yet the primary objective of his
treatments is to respect and protect the qualities of independence and dignity fundamental to a cat's
nature.
Including descriptions of symptoms, treatment options, and tips on prevention, The Cat Who Cried for
Help provides everything you need to know to ensure both you and your feline friend a long, happy, and
healthy relationship. If you've ever wanted to better understand the nature of this mysterious, enigmatic,
and fascinating creature, Dr. Dodman's book provides a penetrating look into the intriguing and intricate
world of the cat in your life.

The Domestic Cat: The Biology of its Behaviour
Humans have lived with cats for thousands of years, and there are now more cats kept in Western
households than any other animal. Cherished as companions and valued as rodent catchers, their
enigmatic behavior has intrigued and bewildered us for generations. While accepting the comforts of
human homes, cats do seem to "walk by themselves." Although loved for their independence and
self-reliance, myths and fables surround them, leaving them open to persecution and
misunderstanding. Covering all types of cats from pampered pets to feral hunters, this completely
revised new edition of The Domestic Cat shows how cats live and behave in a variety of circumstances
and surroundings. With new chapters on welfare issues, and cat-cat communication, this volume
penetrates the enigma that is Felis catus, sorting fact from fiction, and helping both the general reader
and the specialist in animal behavior or veterinary science to understand cats as they really are.

With extraordinary insight and vision, renowned veterinarian and animal behaviorist Dr. Michael W. Fox
explores the minds, hearts, and bodies of cats.
Fox believes that cats, and all animals, have much to teach their human companions - if only humans
learn how to listen. In Cat Body, Cat Mind, Fox not only teaches readers to communicate with their cats,
he illuminates the extraordinary powers that cats possess - from their amazing ability to empathize to
their mysterious ability to find their way home.
Fox makes a terrific case for the right of cats and all animals to live safe, healthy lives, free from fear and
harm. Only by better understanding and appreciating our cats and by strengthening the cat-human bond,
Fox explains, can we do right by them.
Cat Body, Cat Mind also offers a holistic approach to companion-animal care and preventive medicine,
including essential nutritional guidelines, as well as behavioral advice and troubleshooting that will help
guarantee a healthy and happy pet.
Between understanding your cat's mind and learning how to best take care of his or her body, Fix makes
certain that cats and their people will enjoy long and loving lives together.

Total Well-Being
Total Well-Being
In 1985, silently as fog on little cat feet, cats padded past dogs as America's most popular domestic
companion animal. While cat owners love their purring, fuzzy friends, cats can have another, rather
unpleasant, side. Some cats spray; defecate and urinate on carpets, in corners, in shoes, on visitors'
leather jackets; shred upholstery; chomp houseplants; ambush guests; caterwaul at all hours; and
scratch and bite children, sometimes causing serious injuries and infections.
Skeptics will claim that it's impossible to train a cat. Happily, Wendy Christensen knows they're wrong.
True, cats are intelligent, adaptable, patient, independent, stubborn, observant, and extremely quick
learners. But they're also remarkably self-interested and quick to exploit a good deal. Outwitting a cat
means persuading the cat that what you want is also what he wants.
Whatever your immediate, urgent specific cat problem-aggression, bullying, clinginess, refusal to
eat-you'll find answers here. Wendy Christensen can tell you what works-and what doesn't. What to do
right away-and what never to do. She'll share tips and cat-and-owner-tested secrets to reversing,
redirecting, and solving-for good-even the thorniest behavior problems. And she'll tell you how to head
off future problems, simply by understanding how your cat thinks.

The only fully comprehensive guide to “all things feline,” from the host of Cat Chat on Martha Stewart
Living Radio.
Finally, a definitive book that delivers many unknown facts about every aspect of caring for and sharing
your life with a cat, ranging from proper nutrition and strange behavior to medical care and multi-cat
households, to grooming and geriatrics. The Cat Bible explains the mysteries of feline behavior to
owners who are devoted to their cats without being able to fully understand them. It offers
straightforward solutions to the problems that cause people to give up their cats, many of which are
preventable, including litter box avoidance, furniture scratching, and physical ailments.
There are more than 90 million American households that count cats as family members, but they are a
vastly underserved population, devoted to their kitties, yet bereft of all the public attention, programming,
and print devoted to dogs. Now, bestselling author and investigative journalist Tracie Hotchner offers
them The Cat Bible, with straightforward, fact-filled solutions to health and behavior problems, based on
years of research into the real reasons behind these issues. In the same warm, straightforward style
that attracts devoted listeners to her radio shows, Tracie tackles controversial topics such as the truth
about commercial dry pet foods and their dangers, bringing readers the latest facts on every topic that
affects a feline’s well-being.
