Cats communicate constantly, but their behaviour is not always easy to understand.
Understanding Cat Behaviour explains the instincts, body language, communication, and social behaviours that influence what cats do every day. You will learn how to read common feline signals, recognize signs of trust, fear, stress, and overstimulation, and better understand behaviours such as scratching, hiding, hunting, rubbing, vocalizing, and urine marking.
The book also covers play, territory, multi-cat relationships, common behaviour problems, and practical ways to create a home that supports your cat's natural needs.
Each chapter builds on the last, helping you move from simply noticing your cat's behaviour to understanding the likely reasons behind it.
By the end of the book, you will be better able to read your cat, recognize important changes in behaviour, respect individual boundaries, and respond in ways that support a calmer and more trusting relationship.
