About this product

Product Information

In this groundbreaking book, Dr. Nicholas Dodman does for feline psychology what he did for canines in his widely acclaimed The Dog Who Loved Too Much. Here he reveals the fascinating, and often frustrating, mind of one of our most popular--and certainly most independent--animal companions, and shows how we can coexist peacefully with even the stubbornest of cats. What do you do about a cat determined to tear your sofa to shreds? Or one who gorges himself on your best running shoes . . . or attacks anyone who dares to open the refrigerator door? Drawing on remarkable real-life stories from his practice at the prestigious Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Dodman shares the unique, compassionate, dramatically successful treatment programs that have given problem cats a new lease on life . . . and their perplexed owners long-term solutions to even the most intractable disorders. As any cat owner knows, changing a cat's behavior can seem like an impossible task. But contrary to popular belief, cats can be trained and cured of irritating habits and undesirable behaviors. The Cat Who Cried for Help shows how minor adjustments in diet, exercise regimen, and environment can effect dramatic breakthroughs in resolving almost any feline problem. From cat panic attacks to eating disorders, from litterbox aversion to depression and a wide range of feline phobias, Dr. Dodman has successfully treated and resolved these and many other heretofore untreatable behaviors. Inside, you'll meet Ashley, the boss-cat who literally bites the hand that feeds him; Jonathan, the binge-eater; Rubles, the Abyssinian Jekyll and Hyde, pussycat one minute, man-eating tiger the next; and Thomas, the cat who cried for help--a little too loudly. Dr. Dodman's techniques are based on the most up-to-date research in pharmacology and feline behaviorism. Yet the primary objective of his treatments is to respect and protect the qualities of independence and dignity fundamental to a cat's nature. Including descriptions of symptoms, treatment options, and tips on prevention, The Cat Who Cried for Help provides everything you need to know to ensure both you and your feline friend a long, happy, and healthy relationship. If you've ever wanted to better understand the nature of this mysterious, enigmatic, and fascinating creature, Dr. Dodman's book provides a penetrating look into the intriguing and intricate world of the cat in your life.

"THE CAT'S MIND" IS STILL THE BEST "BEHAVIOURAL" STUDY OF CATS
I was very disappointed to find psychotropic medication mentioned so frequently as the solution recommended by this medical doctor especially when: 1. It has not been proven as a "cure all" for humans. 2.These medications have side effects and , can cause damage to vital organs if not monitored properly - This approach can get expensive 3. As every psychologist knows, it takes time to change ANY behavior, be it human or animal. The pet owner must realize that it takes a great deal of empathy, understanding and devotion to "cure" the unwanted behavior of any pet. Then, and only then, should considering giving an animal medication for "behavioural" problems even be considered. I gave this book 3 stars. In my professional opinion, I felt this publication to be more of a promotion of medication and less of an informative overview of how the kitten/cat owner can understand why his or her animal is behaving. Afterall, the wonderful, mystical and magical CAT knows nothing about US. That's why we must LEARN about THEM before we start "medicating" some of their natural instincts and, reactions to what is often, OUR bad behavior.Read full review
