Product Description

How much do cat owners really know about their feline friends? Do our pampered pets truly want all that food and affection or is that insistent miaow trying to communicate something more complex? Many cats and their owners co-exist in an atmosphere of polite misunderstanding, with each party blissfully unaware of the wishes of the other. The cat 'says' one thing and the owner hears another, but somehow it works, Until, that is, something goes wrong. Renowned cat counsellor Vicky Halls has helped hundreds of owners and their problem cats. Why do they soil in the house, fight with next door's cat, behave aggressively towards people or pull out their own fur? CAT CONFIDENTIAL answers these questions and many more, and will enable all cat owners to reach a far better understanding with their feline companions. Fascinating, funny, heart-warming and occasionally tear-jerking, CAT CONFIDENTIAL explores the hidden workings of the unique bond that people have with their cats. In a book filled with case studies, amazing facts, amusing anecdotes and practical advice, Vicky Halls has finally revealed the innermost secrets of the feline psyche.

Customer Reviews

Informative and a good read to boot!
As a cat novice I bought this book a few days before my first ever kitten arrived adn I can truly say it is fab. I've been doing loads of research on cats, but I'm recieving a lot of conflicitng advice, so it was nice to find a book that talks about cats as cats and not as small children.
She takes you through different stages of a cats life and different behaviours using case studies and tales of her own cats very effectively. It's given me loads of food for thought and is the first book on cats I have read that I really feel I have learned something from.

Delightful and useful
I bought this book as I was having problems with my cat soiling in the house and my partner wanted him out! Vicky's clear and concise explanations have solved the problem quickly (within 1 day in fact and the problem was ongoing for some months) and we are a happy family again including the cat! This really is a delightful book, I was glued and I read it cover to cover. I haven't read a book for some years but it was easy to get into. There were tears, laughter and surprises throughout and I highly recommend this to anyone with a cat or thinking of introducing a cat into their lives. Thanks Vicky!

Caspig
As an "experienced" cat owner (including previously "stray" cats), I found this book both enjoyable and informative. A good read that I will continue to use for reference. If you own a cat/kitten, or are thinking about doing so, by this book it's a must have.
