Outsmarting Cats: How To Persuade The Felines In Your Life To Do What You Want [Paperback]

Wendy Christensen gets it; she has spent her life watching cats, being in the company of cats, sharpening the focus on her cat-colored glasses. In Outwitting Cats she brings that knowledge and empathic focus to bear, giving the reader real-life tools with a little something extra - what I call a good dose of cat mojo! --Jackson Galaxy, host of Animal Planet's My Cat From Hell, and author of Cat Daddy No need for a cat at my house -- I do all the napping, laying around, and turning up my nose at perfectly good dinners. However, this book is a pretty good guide to outwitting me. --P. J. O'Rourke Never before has so much feline wisdom appeared in one place. Outwitting Cats is to most cat books what War and Peace is to Dick and Jane. Bastet herself might have written it. As the owner of four formerly destructive cats (three quite bad, one not so bad) I greeted Outwitting Cats with a certain skepticism but nevertheless put Christensen's advice to the test. The results were amazing. In very little time my four demons became sweet tempered pussies, my marriage was saved, and when I enter a room people no longer sniff the air and ask how many cats I have. All of us are living happily ever after, and we have Wendy Christensen to thank for this. -- Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of Tribe of Tiger and The Hidden Life of Dogs This book is the answer to the prayers of every cat owner--and every cat. But it's also fascinating reading even if you are unfortunate enough to lack a cat in your life at the moment. Wendy Christensen understands housecats like no other human I know. As a result, her brilliant Outwitting Cats is wise and funny, its advice comprehensive, humane, and marvellously effective. --Sy Montgomery, author of The Good, Good Pig, Spell of the Tiger, Journey of the Pink Dolphins and Walking with the Great Apes Christensen takes us into the mind and spirit of the cat as few writers can, leading us deep into the cat's world, helping us know our cat's thoughtslC%
