Raktažodžiai:
Humans have lived with cats for thousands of years, and there are now more cats kept in Western households than any other animal. Cherished as companions and valued as rodent catchers, their enigmatic behavior has intrigued and bewildered us for generations. While accepting the comforts of human homes, cats do seem to "walk by themselves." Although loved for their independence and self-reliance, myths and fables surround them, leaving them open to persecution and misunderstanding. Covering all types of cats from pampered pets to feral hunters, this completely revised new edition of The Domestic Cat shows how cats live and behave in a variety of circumstances and surroundings. With new chapters on welfare issues, and cat-cat communication, this volume penetrates the enigma that is Felis catus, sorting fact from fiction, and helping both the general reader and the specialist in animal behavior or veterinary science to understand cats as they really are.

Unravels the mysteries of cat behaviour for the general reader and specialist alike.

From the reviews of the previous edition: 'The Domestic Cat is sure to become a classic in the study of behaviour in domestic animals.' Juliet Clutton-Brock, Nature 'Cat society is wonderfully reported here a fine example of behaviour study.' Scientific American ' this book is an excellent resource in which to seek information, find references, build a background for any new studies involving cats this edition provides one of the best sources available for comparison of behaviors across the field group.' Penny Bernstein, Anthrozoös 'This book will be of interest to many general readers but its greatest value will be to the growing number of workers in the field of companion animal behaviour, including those employed by animal welfare societies, to whom it will be an important work of reference as well as a source of reliable information.' Jenny Remfrey, Animal Welfare ' well written, referenced and indexed a must for anyone studying feline behaviour or involved in rehoming and rescue work It is also a very useful reference text for veterinary surgeons and students with genuine interest in feline medicine.' The Veterinary Record
