Description
Want to know what your cat is really thinking and doing?
In Kitty Language, animal illustrator Lili Chin explains everything you need to read your cat's body language. With sections dedicated to their ears, whiskers, tail and more, you'll gain deeper knowledge into many feline behaviours, including sniffing, scratching, play-hunting, chattering and tail flipping. And you'll learn the answers to questions such as: does my cat want to be petted, or do they need space? Are they feeling confident, frightened, relaxed or frustrated? What do they need to feel safe, secure, stimulated and happy?
Backed by scientific research, endorsed by animal behaviourists and vets, and packed with playful illustrations, Kitty Language is bursting with information for cat lovers.
