Don't tell the cat, but she descented from the same furry critter as dogs (hisssss!). And don't tell dogs, but a cat wagging her tail does NOT mean what Fido thinks. Originally published by Three Rivers Press/Crown Publications, the updated 2nd edition Amazon Kindle book priced at only $2.99 is filled with the latest information on evolution, behavior, training and care. ComPETability is a side-by-side comparison of the world's favorite pets that provides all the must-knows with humor, flair, and authority. Readers also will appreciate the 20+ illustrations of pet behaviors, anatomy, and treatment techniques.
More than 30 million U.S. households double their pleasure by welcoming both cats and dogs into their homes. Yet mixing the two can mean trouble in paradise, especially if you treat your cat like your dog, or vice versa. Cats and dogs are two very different animals with distinctive needs and they cannot--and must not--be treated in the same way. Humans must be able to translate cat language for the dog (and vice versa) to help build a peaceable kingdom.
Fun, practical, and eminently informative, ComPETability is the first book that looks at the biological, evolutionary, and behavioral differences between cats and dogs and uses that information to devise strategies for owners that enable the two species to live in harmony within the same household. Written by one of America's premier pet experts, the book explains everything an owner of a cat and dog should know, including the most common behaviors of cats and dogs alone and together; recommendations for pet health care, grooming, and feeding; ways to recognize ailments; and the problems that arise most frequently between the two species. Most important, ComPETability provides crucial tips on how to evaluate and match your pets' personalities, improve their relationships, and make your home a sanctuary for pet fun and peace.
