About this listen
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.

Interesting stuff
I listened to this book because I’m fascinated by cats and it did not disappoint. I don’t currently have a cat but kept listening anyways, even when it got into cat training.

Very informative
This book is great for anyone who has a cat or is looking at getting a cat. It’s very interesting to me that cats need just as much enrichment as dogs do. And it’s a myth that cats are aloof and not social creatures. Definitely recommend to anyone who is wanting to learn more about cats. Terms are well explained so you don’t need any prior knowledge on the topic to learn things from this book.

Easy listen
I enjoyed this and I'm sure many others will too.
Great for anyone who has no background in sciences as well.

Really informative
My family just got a kitten (Freddie) after many years with not but a fish, and as an all or nothing kinda gal I wanted to get as much information as possible to make sure he grows up to be a good and happy kitty. I found this audiobook course to be a great resource, and now frequently am did-you-know-ing people with cat information. I was already working on click training and I appreciated the concise break down of why it works and how to do it effectively. Would recommend to anyone who wants a better understanding of their feline friend.

Very scientific but I was hoping for more practical tips on understanding and interacting with cats.
