Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. Cats enigmatic behaviour has fascinated us for thousands of generations. Yet just what is it that forms the attraction between us and them, and why do our cats behave the way that they do? World renowned cat authority Roger Tabor addresses this question in detail in this close look at the current state of understanding cat behaviour. Feline behaviour is quite distinctive, and there is such closeness that our tabbies really are small tigers. Despite most changes brought about by modern breeding, a cat is still a cat, and the author shows how this is revealed through all kinds of behavioural features, from hunting and mating, to play and learning. He also looks at behavioural problems, which will help cat owners to come to terms with and hopefully cure their cats' unsociable tendencies. This is a real insight into what makes a cat 'tick'; every owner will benefit from the consequent closer relationship with their feline companion.

Beads are the oldest and most widespread art form, having been used in virtually every culture since ancient times. Over the years new materials and methods of making beads have been introduced and now bead workers have a vast array of stunning beads to work with. Beading has also developed over the years and, even though many traditional techniques are still popular, the craft is constantly evolving.

There are handy tables to help you to understand how beads are measured and bead quantities, as well as advice on choosing bead colours: monochromatic, analogous, complementary, split complementary, tetradic, and triadic.
