This book investigates the cognitive capabilities of domestic cats through a series of structured behavioral assessments. E.M. Bard provides a framework for owners to evaluate their feline companions' problem-solving skills, memory, and social responsiveness. The text utilizes a combination of observational psychology and practical testing methods to categorize feline intelligence levels.

This work serves as an accessible, lighthearted guide for pet owners interested in the behavioral mechanics of their cats. The framing suggests a focus on entertainment and owner-pet bonding rather than rigorous scientific research.
