DO CATS NEED SHRINKS
Peter Neville
- What should you do if your cat doesn't like your husband?
- why do some cats eat underwear?
- How should you deal with cats that spray your visitors, pee on your bed or scream for attention all night long?
These are just a few of the problems that Peter Neville, cat psychologist, deals with regularly either through cases referred to him by vets or in his role as "Agony Uncle" of the Cat World magazine. He also holds a monthly clinic at the university of Bristol Veterinary Scholl and conducts research into some of the more bizarre aspects of cat behaviour such as agoraphobia and self mutilation.
In this book, Peter traces the development of the relationship between cats and human beings and the way in which this wild predator has adapted to modern life with us. He describes various case histories from his files (the names haves been changed to protect the innocent!) and outline some some of the reasons why behaviour problems can occur.
Sometimes it's the home invironment, the cat's relationship with a member of the family, its friend and rivals along the street, or perhaps a problem stemming from it's early kittenhood. Peter examines the possibilities and suggests plans of treatment for each eventuality that should improve or alleviate most prob;em cat behaviour.
The stories range from the moving to the hilarious, the problems from the commonplace to the incredible. This is the cat book par exellence for anyone who really wants to understand how our cats' minds work
