Cats possess a remarkable capacity for learning that can significantly enhance their well-being and their relationship with humans. Authors John W. S. Bradshaw and Sarah Ellis challenge the common assumption that cats are untrainable, presenting evidence that they not only can be trained but that training is essential for their happiness and for reducing anxiety. This book explores the science behind feline cognition and behavior, demonstrating how owners can leverage this understanding to foster a stronger bond with their pets.

This book is positioned as an accessible guide for cat owners, drawing on the expertise of an anthrozoologist and a cat behaviorist. The premise suggests a focus on practical applications of behavioral science to everyday pet ownership. The content is likely to appeal to those seeking to deepen their understanding of their feline companions and improve their training methods.
