Publisher's Summary
A fun, comprehensive guide to the key to cat happiness—play!
Millions of households in the United States have at least one cat as part of their family. Yet despite their popularity, cats continue to be misunderstood by their owners. This lack of understanding can lead to bored, frustrated, and under-stimulated cats, resulting in health and behavior problems. In Play with Your Cat!, animal behavior expert Dr. Mikel Maria Delgado shows cat parents what they may be missing: interactive play. Using an evidence-based approach and the latest scientific research, Delgado:
- shows why cats need play and how it is essential to their well-being
- provides listeners with techniques on how to engage their cat in play
- reveals how to use play to improve problematic cat behaviors
Playfully written, Play with Your Cat! is an essential listen for cat parents looking to understand their feline friend—and have some fun in the process.
