In the revised 2nd edition of The Cat Behavior Answer Book (77,000 copies in print), pet expert Arden Moore answers the many questions cat owners have, from the practical aspects of training, feeding, and caring to the puzzling aspects of behavior and communication. Do cats dream? What's the purpose of a cat's whiskers? How do I cat-proof my house? Why does my elderly cat howl at night? How can I train my cats not to jump upon the kitchen counter? Can I keep my cat from climbing the curtains? What's the best way to train a kitten to use the litter box? How can I eliminate the smell of cat urine? What's the best way to trim a cat's nails? Is it okay for my cat to eat grass? Arden Moore provides insightful answers to all these questions and many more, along with reassuring guidance on addressing the problems that can get in the way of living happily with a cat. The 2nd edition has been completely updated to reflect the most recent research and recommendations and redesigned in a larger, highly browsable format.

Find out what makes a cat act like a cat. Learn about feline senses,
emotions, and instincts. Discover fascinating facts about intelligence,
behavior, and different breeds.
Communicating with Your Cat
Our cats often seem to be trying to tell us something, if only we could
figure it out. Learn about the power of purring, unravel the mysteries of
meows, and hone your "cat chat" skills.
Kitty Quirks and Funny Felines
Our furry companions have some peculiar habits. Find out what the deal is
with chewing on plastic, climbing the curtains, splashing in water, and
much more. And what's the fuss about catnip, anyway?
Thinking outside the Box
Litter box issues arise in most cat-owning households at some time or other
and are often the most frustrating problems we face. Here are the facts
about why cats avoid the box, along with solutions to a variety of
situations.
The Basics of Chewing and Grooming
Most cats lead a life of luxury, spending much of their day nibbling
kibble, snoozing on the sofa, and taking care of their shiny coats. Find
out why cats spend so much time grooming, learn how to tame tabby
tubbiness, and brush up on the finer points of cat care.
The Ins and Outs of Life with Modern Cats
Indoors is safest, but even if your cat goes outside, there are many ways
to enrich your indoor environment with tantalizing toys and stimulating
setups. Learn about traveling with your feline companion and teaching old
cat (or a kitten) some new tricks.
