"The Cat Behavior Answer Book, 2nd Edition" is a treasure trove of wisdom for cat lovers everywhere. Whether you're seeking practical advice on solving behavioral issues or simply curious about the inner workings of your feline friend's mind, this book has something for everyone. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to deepen their connection with their cat and create a harmonious living environment for both human and feline occupants.

Disclosure: I received an advance copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

There was so much information in this book! A really great way of explaining cat behaviour and helping owners and pet enthusiasts to understand their cats

Really enjoyed this, a book that gave some great insights into why cats behave as they do.

I’ll admit, I have seen differing opinions from time to time about cats, and who knows who is right but I definitely nodded along to a lot of this. Also the odd time the book skipped around a bit, due to the fact it was answering questions from people, so I’d have preferred more definite categories sometimes but all in all I beyond enjoyed this, and think it would be a nice flick yay coffee table book. Thanks to the publisher for the advanced review copy. All opinions are my own.

The 2nd edition of The Cat Behavior Answer Book by Arden Moore has been completely revised and updated, with photographs instead of drawing, more answers to cat owner questions, and new research and scientific evidence. With six main categories, each segment is broken up with delightful cat photos, feline facts, and answers to the many questions cat owners have about their feline companions. As a cat owner, I learned a great deal, from trivia such as “Cats have 290 bones,” to how to deal with litter box issues - something we’ve definitely needed to know. It’s a beautiful book that should be on every library shelf and in the homes of every cat owner. Highly recommend!

I am biased as I am a cat lover. HOWEVER, if you are interested in learning more about your own family feline or just love to learn in general this book is great for you. I find this to be a great book for an inquisitive child (speaking as a kid who read encyclopedias growing up)

Cats, cats, cats! I am the crazy cat lady! I loved this book and want a copy for my own bookshelf. So many things here to digest. I consider myself a cat enthusiast. I have volunteered with animal rescues for years. My husband and I have a little sanctuary ourselves. Not really, but it does feel like it. We both rescue cats.

This is very well done and I enjoyed it. Lots of information here for cat lovers alike and I highly recommend it. Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for a digital copy to review. A must for all cat lovers!

What a delightful book on car behaviour.

If you are contemplating getting a cat or are a fairly new car owner, this book is for you!

Full of helpful, practical advice on how to care for a cat, the book also addresses some of those puzzling behaviours cats exhibit and gives insightful answers.
A great coffee table book for cat lovers everywhere.

Princess Fuzzypants here: Just as you humans baffle us kitties constantly, sometimes we do things that confuse you too. And since we know you are only human, you need all the help you can get. Luckily, there are books like this one that patiently and clearly explains why we do certain things. Remember: we are cats. Much of what we do is hard wired thanks to our heritage as both predator and prey. It allows the willing amongst you to perceive the whys behind our actions and helps you figure what, if anything, you can do about it.

Almost every time, when we start doing something different that displeases you, the first thing is to find out if there is a medical reason. We cats have no artifice but neither do we broadcast our ills. In fact, we are good at hiding it. So then it becomes a question of medical or behavioural. The book offers sensible step by step methods to solve the problem- which almost inevitably is your fault.

The author answers specific questions in a knowledgable and sympathetic manner to both human and cat. This is the second edition so it has some new entries and will help keep you up to date. As a special needs cat, this would have been a good resource for my humans when I was experiencing some “difficulties”. They got there in the end but it might have saved a lot of grief. Get it before you need it. Five purrs and two paws up.

I found this an interesting book to read if you like cats and may be interested in becoming a cat owner or may even be a current owner, you could even find something surprising in there. There’s lots of information to learn and it covers a lot of topics.

One of my cats doesn’t like being stroked very much but after reading the book, we have managed to overcome the problem so he enjoys the stroking a bit more. I put it down to him being abused as a kitten but I want him to have a fulfilled life and I have now had him for 10 years and since getting the stroking issue sorted, he seems a happier cat.

Also, I used to worry about my cats eating grass as they were always sick after doing so but after reading the book I know it can be a good thing for them too as in helping ease out a hairball, not just because they feel sick.

If you are a cat owner and a cat lover then this book is just right for you, I loved it. I even picked up a tip or two out of it! It is full of tips and advice covering all aspects of kitten and cat care from litter box training to how to cat proof your house. It was very interesting reading.

An excellent resource for anyone who has cats or is just interested in them. This book is comprehensive and detailed, but the information is broken into manageable sections and the tone is fun and conversational, so it's fun reading and never overwhelming. There are lots of awesome pictures to enjoy and great advice for anyone living with a cat and curious about their behavior.

While adults are probably the primary audience, this is readable for older elementary and definitely middle school students so it would be a great enrichment book to have them practice their reading skills in an enjoyable way. It would be a great addition to school and community libraries!

Many thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review!

A lovely book on our feline friends. Full of great information and facts to help us understand and enjoy these wonderfully aloof little creatures. Complimented with beautiful photos, this book is perfect for any cat lover.

Thank you for the ARC Storey Publishing and NetGalley.

I am a cat person. I have been one since before I can remember, In my life I have been lucky to have been owned by more than two dozen cats; each unique and loveable. Suffice it to say that I know a great deal about cats.

I was pleasantly surprised to learn a lot about cats' behavior from this book. I expected to enjoy it, and I did very much. Arden Moore knows a great deal about cats, and she is willing to share that knowledge with her readers. Written in question and answer form, I couldn't think of a subject which she did not cover.

If you like cats, but wish you knew more about why they do the seemingly mysterious things they do, this book will answer your questions. If you love cats, and know a lot about them, you can spend some enjoyable and happy hours with Arden Moore, and learn something along the way.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the ARC

Do you ever find yourself wondering, "Why does my cat do that???" Why does he play with paper? Why does she eat grass? How do I litter box train my kittens? The questions go on and on in the world of cats. Author Arden Moore answers a cat owner's pressing questions in this comprehensive 2nd edition of The Cat Behavior Answer book. In fact, Moore answered all the questions I had and many that I didn't even realize I was asking. All in a clear, common sense manner.

Our family has had cats in our household most of my life. They have been our faithful friends, and this Cat Behavior Answer Book gave us fresh insight into their personalities and needs. I was pleasantly surprised how thorough this book was. It started with some basic ideas and moved into more in-depth topics. The Q&A format, colorful photos, and interesting facts keep this book engaging from cover to cover. My 11-year old son loved it as well. And that's a win for Mom.

This book would make a wonderful title for the new cat owner. However, more experienced pet owners are sure to find helpful information as well. A great reference for anyone who loves cats!

The Cat Behavior Answer Book offers readers exactly what the title promises. I think this could be a valuable resources for first time cat parents, and for those facing new questions or challenges. I liked the facts about the history and physiology of cats, while some of it was familiar I did learn a few new things. I thought the book covered a wide range of topics, and was a very informative and interesting read. It covered a lot of ground and will be accessible to a wide range of readers. I think anyone looking to better understand cats, either to answer questions they have about particular cats or from basic curiosity will get a great deal from this book. I really like that there are additional resources included at the end of the book. I think it would be a great addition to public and school libraries as well as personal collections.

A wonderful book full of useful information, this would be perfect for the first time cat owner or those who haven’t had a cat in awhile, but even I who have had lots of cats and still own two p, can be taught new things as this book has. Perfect for experienced owner and new owner alike

I really enjoyed it. It’s a fun, fast and educational read!

This is a must read for any cat lover and cat owners. Even if it's not the first I read about cat behaviour it helped me now that just got two more cats.
Easy to follow and well explained.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine

The Cat Behavior Answer Book, 2nd Edition, was probably the most useful book I read this year! Even though I’m a lifetime cat-mom, I learned new things about my furbabies that will absolutely help me in the future. Arden Moore’s anecdotes and real-life experience were not only informative, but entertaining. Some of the questions in the book are things I never would have expected to hear about cats and I was impressed Moore always had a thorough and well-explained answer!

Thank you NetGalley and Storey Publishing for this five star read! I highly recommend The Cat Behavior Answer Book to any cat-lovers, whether you’re a seasoned, new, or soon-to-be pet parent!

The Cat Behavior Answer Book is exactly what the name implies. The author Arden Moore has gather some of the most popular cat facts and questions. The goal is to help cat owners better understand their cats. If that is even possible I mean. As a long time owner, I was interested to see what information the book held.

The guidebook is written with a strong sense of humor which made it enjoyable to read. It does a good of explaining characteristics of cats. It also delves into various habits and routine of these feisty animals. I have had cats all my life and there were a few things within these pages that I didn't know. Or that I had always wondered about.

Apparently, this is actually the second edition of The Cat Behavior Answer Book. I'm not exactly sure what the differences there are within the pages. What I did find is brightly colored pictures mixed with some fun trips and treats. It did get a little bit more repetitive at times but, overall I would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn more about cats.

Rating: 3.5 Stars

I love reading books about animals and I love reading books about cats (I have two cats) so that's why this book caught my attention.

This book is broken into six sections:
* Feeling fine about being feline
* Communicating with your cat
* Kitty quirks and funny felines
* Thinking outside the box
* The basics of chowing and grooming
* The ins and outs of life with modern cats

I liked the format of this book. In every section, there were questions asked (as if by a real person) and then the author would respond in a friendly conversational manner. Plus there are random tidbits of information in boxes. The book is fun and colourful and there are colourful pictures of cats throughout. It's a good reference someone who is thinking about getting a cat but also for someone who has or has had cats in the past.
