From a leading veterinary psychiatrist, a groundbreaking look into the minds of our feline companions and a guide to being the best humans we can be for our cats (Focus Vif).

Cats are mysterious creatures, and the relationship between humans and cats has never been simple. They are contradictory creatures: curious and aloof, independent and affectionate, predator and prey. Their true nature continues to elude us, and their subtle and complex behavioral problems can often seem unsolvable or incomprehensible. So, how can we tell when our pets are suffering? How can we understand their aggression? And how can we treat patients who can't speak for themselves?

In this fascinating book--a bestseller in its native France--veterinary doctor and psychiatrist Claude Béata draws on cutting-edge research and decades of experience to revolutionize our understanding of cats and transform our appreciation of feline mental well-being. Here, we meet Nougatine, a Siamese with an aggressive streak; Tabatha, a Ragdoll with separation anxiety; and Melly, an Abyssinian struggling with a feline form of schizophrenia--as well as their owners, who seek advice and support. Through their stories, Dr. Béata takes us inside the minds of cats, helping us to improve our relationships with them and love them even more.

Charming, surprising, and offering illuminating insight into a range of disorders, The Interpretation of Cats provides readers with a new understanding of cat behavior so we can care for the mental and physical wellness of our beloved furry friends. The result is an indispensable and eye-opening guide to our most enigmatic companions.

NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE STARRING MARK WAHLBERG--STREAMING ON STARZ

When you're racing 435 miles through the jungles and mountains of South America, the last thing you need is a stray dog tagging along. But that's exactly what happened to Mikael Lindnord, captain of a Swedish adventure racing team, when he threw a scruffy but dignified mongrel a meatball one afternoon.

When the team left the next day, the dog followed. Try as they might, they couldn't lose him--and soon Mikael realized that he didn't want to. Crossing rivers, battling illness and injury, and struggling through some of the toughest terrain on the planet, the team and the dog walked, kayaked, cycled, and climbed together toward the finish line, where Mikael decided he would save the dog, now named Arthur, and bring him back to his family in Sweden, whatever it took. Illustrated with candid photographs, Arthur provides a testament to the amazing bond between dogs and people.

Celebrated animal photographer Traer Scott invites readers on a heartwarming journey into the lives of courageous rescue cats and kittens, captured in evocative images and remarkable stories. In these pages, you'll meet:

Millions of households in the United States have at least one cat as part of their family. Yet despite their popularity, cats continue to be misunderstood by their owners. This lack of understanding can lead to bored, frustrated, and under-stimulated cats, resulting in health and behavior problems. In Play with Your Cat!, animal behavior expert Dr. Mikel Maria Delgado shows cat parents what they may be missing: interactive play. Using an evidence-based approach and the latest scientific research, Delgado:

• shows why cats need play and how it is essential to their well-being
• provides readers with techniques on how to engage their cat in play
• reveals how to use play to improve problematic cat behaviors

A renowned cat behavior scientist of over thirty years, Dr. Sarah Brown has been at the forefront of research in the field, discovering how cats use tail signals to interact with each other and their owners. Now, she reveals the previously unexplored secrets of cat communication in a book that is both scientifically grounded and utterly delightful.

Each chapter dives into a different form of communication, including vocalizations, tail signals, scents, rubbing, and ear movements. The iconic meow, for example, is rarely used between adult cats--cleverly mimicking the cries of a human infant, the meow is a feline invention for conversing with people. Through observing the behavior of two cat colonies in rural England, readers will also have the opportunity to glimpse into the lives of some of the cats behind Dr. Brown's science.

Can we understand what cats' meows and other signals mean? How do cats actually perceive us? And how can we use this information to inform how we talk back to our feline friends? Referencing historical records, exploring modern scientific studies of cat-human communication, and including simple, elegant line drawings, The Hidden Language of Cats is perfect for any cat lover who wants to learn more about their companion.

Dewey's story starts in the worst possible way. On the coldest night of the year in Spencer, Iowa, at only a few weeks old--a critical age for kittens--he was stuffed into the return book slot of the Spencer Public Library. He was found the next morning by library director Vicki Myron, a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm, a breast cancer scare, and an alcoholic husband. Dewey won her heart, and the hearts of the staff, by pulling himself up and hobbling on frostbitten feet to nudge each of them in a gesture of thanks and love. For the next nineteen years, he never stopped charming the people of Spencer with his enthusiasm, warmth, humility (for a cat), and, above all, his sixth sense about who needed him most.

As his fame grew from town to town, then state to state and finally, amazingly, worldwide, Dewey became more than just a friend; he became a source of pride for an extraordinary Heartland farming community slowly working its way back from the greatest crisis in its long history.

Welcome to the author's world in which this story is based upon. Happy, sad, funny. Talking kitties and teddy bears. A world in which reality can become something more if one listens closely.

A book that needs to be read today to fully enjoy the happiest of books when the sequel follows. As author Alec Gould would say, Welcome to my world. Enjoy.What do you mean, what number am I on?

Excerpt:

You know, what number life. 1, 2, 3 or higher?

First off, we never discuss that. Second, we never dwell on that. Third, and this you should know, one should never waste their lives dwelling on matters they cannot do anything about. What number life am I on? It does not matter to you, nor to me. It only matters that we enjoy life as we do. With one another, with love.

Readers fifteen to one hundred fifteen will find this delightful, heart-warming story difficult to put down. Filled with laughs, happy tears, heartache, more happy tears and more laughs, this page turner will resonate with many and leave you with a smile.

The manner in which Gould has Don anthropomorphize* both Alec and Ted-D is consistently touching and will doubtless strike a chord with the cat owners who are the book's natural audience. - Kirkus Reviews

anthropomorphize*: To give human characteristics to a pet or such. Example: Winnie-the-Pooh.
