As the editors state in the Preface, "Behavioral problems are the number-one kilter of pets in the U.S." So many cat owners feel frustrated by their pets because they don't understand what makes their cat tick. ..and scratch-and bite and climb. Too many cats are abandoned and euthanized because owners simply didn't take the time to properly socialize and train them.

This book could save your cat's life! Cat Behavior and Training represents the experience and expertise of twenty veterinarians, behavioral specialists and consultants. Each of them offers sound, timely, and practical advice about the most common behavioral problems and topics. "Proper socialization and training are the best ways to prevent problems from occurring. This book bridges the gap between understanding the causes of behavior problems, preventing them, and managing them once they're evident."

Dr. Lowell Ackerman and his team of world-respected specialists outline how to train and shape your cat's behavior emphasizing reward, motivation and level-headed training techniques instead of punishment and harsh discipline.

Among the topics discussed are: feline behavior and social development, selecting the perfect family cat, rewards and punishments, preventing kitten problems, house soiling, nutrition and behavior, scratching and destructive behavior, sexual and maternal behavior, introducing the new cat, aggression, compulsive and conflict-related problems and much more.

Cats, the nation's most populous pet, do not need nine lives--just one good healthy life, and one dedicated, informed owner. The responsible owner wants to know everything that effects his cat, including what his veterinarian advises about the health of his cat, and why. In this definitive, up-to-date volume, world-renowned veterinarian, lecturer and author Lowell Ackerman, DVM, PhD has gathered over a dozen of the world's most respected and knowledgeable veterinary experts to discuss the aspects of the feline's health and anatomy. These assembled experts help to relay pertinent information about each bodily system and disease in layperson's language so that every cat owner can better understand. Employing the same method used by veterinarians, Cat Health Encyclopedia examines feline illnesses on a system-by-system basis, examining the cat from its curious nose to its tippy toes...and more.
