Summary
One minute they’re purring next to us, the next they’re attacking our toes, yet for all their mysterious and quirky ways, we can’t help but love these little lions we’ve let into our homes and our hearts.
Whether you’re a cat mom or dad or just want to know more about the way domesticated animals evolved, think, and behave, join Dr. Kristyn Vitale, a researcher in the Human-Animal Interaction Lab at Oregon State University, to get inside the mind of the curious, the cute, and sometimes seemingly crazy cat.
Over 10 lectures. Dr. Vitale will take you through the inscrutable characteristics of cat behavior. She’ll introduce you to cat activities - cat’tivities! - such as socialization and enrichment, which can help to increase your cat’s well-being. She’ll also dispel the common myth that you can’t train a cat - showing you how to both train your cat to do the behaviors you want and correct behaviors you don’t want your cat doing. And she’ll guide you through the evolution of this purrfect pet - from a wild animal to how it become the unique house cat sleeping on your bed.
You’ll find that the more you can decode your cat’s behavior, the stronger your bond with them will be.

Great for all cat lovers
Great selection of cat information. I'm adopting my first cat soon and learnt a lot about cat behaviour from this book.

So good
I learned so much. So many of the things owners do are counter intuitive. Five stars!!

Better than a paid audio book
I got this audio for free and found it has so much helpful information for me as a cat owner. Dr Vitale, with her research into cat behaviour and as a cat lover herself, helps us catch a glimpse of the world from a cat’s perspective and demystifies misconceptions about cats, which we unjustly stereotype.
A must-listen for all cat owners or those considering to adopt one.

furrballs knowledge
Even though you might know some of it but still very educational and some few experiments you can do yourself with your feline friends!

Loved it
This course was great! There were a few things that I already knew or at least suspected about cats and their behaviour, but the narrator added so much more interesting content, especially about how social cats really are, that in fact, you can train them etc. I really learned a lot, being a relatively new housemate of a cat.
I would recommend this course to everyone who already has or is thinking about adopting a cat, who is planning a move, had a "difficult" cat or simply wants to get to know their feline friend better.

It might have been interesting
I'm fascinated by cats and it seemed to have potential but the narration was so awful even I couldn't listen a minute longer.
