Cat Sense: How The New Feline Science Can Make You A Better Friend To Your Pet

"I gave this book to every cat-loving friend of mine this year, and to judge by the number of times they’ve quoted it back to me, Cat Sense is an indispensable addition to the cat-lore canon. Even if it did make me feel guilty about having three cats: Did you know most cats really prefer to be alone? Cat Sense is jam-packed with fascinating (and contrarian) tidbits like that, covering everything from why cats purr to why they bring us dead things — and why we keep them around, even though their original purpose as mousers is mostly obsolete. Obligatory cat pun coming up … this book is a purrfect gift for the cat lady or cat dude in your life."
