Publisher's Review

The Cat Parenting Bible for Cat Parents

Although cats have recently gained a status as companion animals, comparable to dogs, relatively little research has been conducted on cats, and thus, there is little information available.
This book, unlike other books on simple 'management', has quickly become a steady seller since its publication over 10 years ago, as it covers the behavioral science for a happy life for cats, as is typical of America, where the love for cats began much earlier than in our country.
Pam Johnson-Bennett, known as the godmother of cat behavior and a cat researcher who has dedicated decades to studying cats, says that if you practice “thinking like a cat,” which is looking at a cat’s life through the cat’s eyes, you can solve cat behavior problems, prevent future behavior problems, and avoid traps that guardians often fall into.
Now, in advanced countries with pets, the word 'parents' has started to be used instead of 'owner'.
The term “cat parent” literally means that the role of parents is emphasized by raising their children with care, teaching, and affection.
This book, reflecting this trend of the times, has established itself as a bible for cat caregivers who call themselves cat "parents" rather than cat "owners."

Cat behavior.
Why is it important to understand your cat's behavior?

For a long time, cats were perceived as independent and cold-hearted animals, and at the same time, animals that would grow up alone if their food bowls were filled.
Many guardians adopt cats with a light heart due to the perception that they are easy to raise, as they require less care than dogs, but end up suffering from unexpected cat-specific habits or behavioral problems. Many guardians have no choice but to endure them or end up giving up raising them, which has even become a social problem.
A study on the state of abandoned animals in the United States found that many caregivers cited behavioral problems as the biggest reason they wanted to give up their pets.
Ultimately, if the guardian fails to understand and resolve the cat's behavioral problems, a terrible situation will occur where the cat loses its life (abandonment → shelter → euthanasia).

How to Understand Cats: Think Like a Cat

Problems and misunderstandings arise when many people compare dogs and cats, understanding and treating cats in a human or even canine way.
If we look at cats and their environment from the cat's perspective rather than from the high and superior perspective of humans, we can understand what a truly happy life is for cats, and this is directly connected to our own happy lives.
Through this book, we come to realize that, contrary to previous misconceptions, cats are not animals that simply enjoy living alone, but rather enjoy bonding with other beings, and how much they need a rich stimulation and environment, and how much they are chatty animals that communicate with a variety of sounds and body language.

Cats are untrainable? Solving behavioral problems using positive training methods.

This book suggests a problem-solving approach that focuses on the good behaviors you want your cat to do, rather than the bad behaviors you want your cat to avoid.
Just think logically about what you want your cat to do and what steps you need to take to get it to do it.
First, find out the motive or cause of the cat's behavior, and second, provide a substitute or alternative behavior that has equal or greater value to the cat.
Third, reward the cat if it chooses the substitute.
The book details how to effectively correct a variety of behavioral problems by applying these principles.
