A Cat Is Watching: A Look At The Way Cats See Us

The Story

Renowned wildlife authority and president of the ASPCA, Roger Caras, uses psychology, biology, and personal anecdotes to show us how cats view the world and the people in it. Cat lovers will be enthralled with his insights into the feline world, from the secret of catnip to the true meaning of a purr. Exploring the mysteries of animal communication, Caras explains cat vocabulary (nine consonants, five vowels) and the incredible phenomenon of psi-trailing, a cat's ability to find its way home after being transported several miles away. Filled with charming stories about the felines in his own life, the author helps us see wild and domestic cats for the remarkable creatures they are. The New York Times Book Review called this work, 'As thorough and sensitive a tour of the cat's world as a human being can contrive'.
