About the book: 2005 / New book by leading British cat expert Claire Bessant - a real cat bestseller. It is a response to the expectations of a huge audience of lovers who want not only to have a cat in their home, but also to understand it. It is not enough for a modern person to know only about breeds, care and feeding; he wants to know how a cat feels, how it behaves at certain moments in its life, why it acts this way and not otherwise. Today, for many, a cat is not a domestic animal with a set of instincts, but a real person who bestows us with its friendship. This is a completely different level of relationship between a person and his pet, and that is why Claire Bessant’s book, which reveals the secrets of mutual understanding in a fun and interesting way, is a real surprise for cat lovers.
