The trainable cat : a practical guide to making life happier for you and your cat

Bradshaw, John 1950- (author.). Ellis, Sarah 1980- (author.).

Summary: "The idea of training rarely crosses cat owners' minds, and we often assume that cats can't and don't need to be trained. But in The Trainable Cat, bestselling anthrozoologist John Bradshaw and cat expert Sarah Ellis show that not only can cats be trained, but they absolutely must be in order to strengthen the bond between pet and owner, reduce their anxiety, and maximize their happiness,"--Amazon.com.
