Cats require training to build stronger relationships with their owners. Anthrozoologist John Bradshaw and cat expert Sarah Ellis challenge the widespread belief that felines cannot or should not be trained. They demonstrate that proper training enriches the connection between cats and people. The book provides practical methods and exercises for common situations cat owners face. These include preparing cats for new family members like babies and reducing stress during veterinary visits. Bradshaw and Ellis base their approach on understanding how cats think and process information. Their training philosophy focuses on working with natural feline behavior rather than against it. The book serves as a comprehensive guide for cat owners who want to improve their relationships with their pets through effective training techniques.
