Cats Work Like This is for cat lovers who know that even after ten thousand years of living with cats, no one really has a clue what their cat is thinking. In this insider’s guide to the habits of these puzzling animals, the authors offer insights from two generations of watching their cats work. They share the sometimes hilarious and often astonishing observations on cats that have accumulated over ages, and offer some useful insights into how to understand your own cat.

Though there are many famous felines, it is the day to day cat which provides the most enduring interest. Though each one’s behaviour and mannerisms are unique, we can find enough practices in common to guide you to becoming an expert in how cats work.

Chapters include Habits, with an insight into how cats train you to have the right ones; and The Scientific Cat, with observations and empirical learning following the classic scientific method, as cats don’t listen well enough to be subjects in any other kind of experimentation.

Learn how cats practice their values and explore what your cats know about you. Find out what cats do while you sleep, what a cat’s eyes can tell you and what there is to understand about political and ‘eco’ cats. With a focus on attention, emotion, cute affection, manipulation, cunning and cussedness, Cats Work Like This gives a rare insight into the workings of a cat’s elusive mind. 

From the Publisher

Unlike many people in households, your cat specifically choses to live with you, and it will be wise to remember this.

While your cat is likely to love being in your home and around you, she also wants her own privacy for grooming and sleeping without being disturbed.

Food provider or issuer? Surrogate mother cat and dominant boss of the house? Boss of the garden? Rule breaker or maker? Amazing hunter or hopeless kitten? Playmate or treacherous lover?

Cats will determine what their toys are, whether you issue them or not, and their choices include boxes, saucepans, newspapers, little balls and anything that can be batted around, and particularly items that are responsive to light.
