"Do you want your cat to come when you call it, stop destroying the
furniture or killing birds, and enjoy taking a walk on a leash?
Then this is the book for you."--Hal Herzog, author of Some We
Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why It's So Hard To Think Straight
About Animals
"I love this book! We often greatly underestimate the capabilities
of our pet cats, and The Trainable Cat is a thorough yet completely
accessible resounding YES in response to the question: Can you
train a cat?"--Mikel Delgado, certified cat behavior consultant,
scientist, and blogger
"Interesting premise.... The goal here is not to get your cat ready
for the Big Apple Circus, but to make it easy for you to get your
cat to do all the things many cats resist: swallow a pill, go to
the vet, take a bath, or stop trying to disembowel your new
cat."--Judith Newman, New York Times
"John and Sarah have demystified cat training, making it accessible
to all cat lovers--from professionals to owners alike."--Miranda K.
Workman, clinical assistant professor, animal behavior, ecology,
and conservation, Canisius College
"Read this book. Your cat will thank you."--Julie Hecht, MSc,
author of the Dog Spies blog on ScientificAmerican.com
"This book should be required reading for all cat lovers, including
all veterinary professionals who work with cats."--Ilona Rodan,
DVM, board certified feline specialist and coauthor of Feline
Behavioral Health and Welfare
"You can train a cat to do just about anything a dog can do, except
a cat may do it better! John Bradshaw and Sarah Ellis illustrate
how cats are trainable, but, more importantly, the authors bust
long-held myths about cats and cat behavior along the way. As a
result, both experienced stronger bonds with their purring
pals."--Steve Dale, Certified Animal Behavior Consultant and author
of The Good Cat!
