Inhaltsangabe

Cherished as companions, and valued as rodent catchers, cats are now the most popular pets in western homes. Covering pampered pets to feral hunters, this book penetrates the enigma that is Felis catus, helping general readers and specialists in behaviour or veterinary science to understand what cats really are.

Críticas

From the reviews of the previous edition: 'The Domestic Cat is sure to become a classic in the study of behaviour in domestic animals.' Juliet Clutton-Brock, Nature

'Cat society is wonderfully reported here ... a fine example of behaviour study.' Scientific American

'... this book is an excellent resource in which to seek information, find references, build a background for any new studies involving cats ... this edition provides one of the best sources available for comparison of behaviors across the field group.' Penny Bernstein, Anthrozoös

'This book will be of interest to many general readers but its greatest value will be to the growing number of workers in the field of companion animal behaviour, including those employed by animal welfare societies, to whom it will be an important work of reference as well as a source of reliable information.' Jenny Remfrey, Animal Welfare

'... well written, referenced and indexed ... a must for anyone studying feline behaviour or involved in rehoming and rescue work ... It is also a very useful reference text for veterinary surgeons and students with genuine interest in feline medicine.' The Veterinary Record
