Recensione

'...lots of colourful illustrations and fascinating theories...' --Burton mail

How often have you wondered what your cat was thinking and thought if only he/she could talk? Of course they do talk but miaow brat miaow and purr. And at last now a translation. Cat Speak is a fantastic guide book to recognising and understanding your cat's needs and demands. Cats speak as much with their bodies as with voices and facial expressions. My favourite chapter is More than a thousand words; miaow has many meanings. It even tells you about the ultrasonic miaow the mute miaow is not actually silent but it is at such a high frequency that we cannot hear it, however we can understand it the cat opens his mouth wide and shuts it and this is a gentle pleading miaow. The silent miaow and so many other things explains that when your cat miaows you can miaow back and have a perfect conversation. Mr Love enjoyed this very much. Miaow! --Chrissy Iley

'This lovely, unique book offers detailed observations of the behaviour of cats at play and in general, and explains clearly how to interpret their meaning.' --Cats Protection

I have had cats all my life, and I think I know a bit about them. But this book tells me a quite lot of things I didn't know. The book is immensely informative, and also a great read. Certainly I have learnt a great deal from it, and it remains a very precious possession. In short, this is a very excellent book, it should be had by anyone who likes cats and also those people who don't. --Sir Patrick Moore

Take a fascinating look into the minds of our feline friends. Discover what they're really thinking, how they express themselves through body language, and why they scratch and scent-mark. With clear descriptions and colour photographs throughout,this is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand more about their cat. --Your Cat
