While cat owners love their purring, fuzzy friends, cats can have another, rather unpleasant, side. Some cats spray; defecate and urinate on carpets, in corners, in shoes, on visitors' leather jackets; shred upholstery; chomp houseplants; ambush guests; caterwaul at all hours; and scratch and bite children, sometimes causing serious injuries and infections. Sceptics will claim that it's impossible to train a cat. Happily, Wendy Christensen knows they're wrong. True, cats are intelligent, adaptable, patient, independent, stubborn, observant, and extremely quick learners. But they're also remarkably self-interested and quick to exploit a good deal. Outwitting a cat means persuading the cat that what you want is also what he wants. Whatever your immediate, urgent specific cat problem - aggression, bullying, clinginess and refusal to eat - you'll find answers here. Wendy Christensen can tell you what works - and what doesn't. What to do right away - and what never to do. She'll share tips and cat-and-owner-tested secrets to reversing, redirecting, and solving - for good - even the thorniest behaviour problems. And she'll tell you how to head off future problems, simply by understanding how your cat thinks.
