House Guests, House Pests [Bok / Pocket]

What would the world become like, if there were no hierarchy? This book begins with the acquaintance of a viscous pony. She taught the author, Emelie Cajsdotter, two things; that there is another way of communicating. But for that to be possible, one must first erase all differences in value. The author was eleven years old at that time, and ever since, she has been travelling around the world asking the same question. Is it necessary to use dominance in the handling of animals? And would it be possible for a human being to put a non-hierarchal principle into practice? Spending the last thirteen years with telepathic communication and alternative treatments of animals, she noticed that many animal owners were expressing a fear of their animals taking over. As if there was an inherent struggle for power, needing to be restraint. Curious to find out whether herd animals relate to the common image of a pecking order, she began studying semi-wild horses and dogs.

The past, present, and future of the world's most popular and beloved pet, from a leading evolutionary biologist and great cat lover. <br/><br/>"Engaging and wide-ranging ... The Cat's Meow is a readable and informed exploration of the wildcat that lurks within Fluffy." -The Washington Post<br/><br/>The domestic cat-your cat-has, from its evolutionary origins in Africa, been transformed in comparatively little time into one of the most successful and diverse species on the planet. Jonathan Losos, writing as both a scientist and a cat lover, explores how researchers today are unraveling the secrets of the cat, past and present, using all the tools of modern technology, from GPS tracking (you'd be amazed where those backyard cats roam) and genomics (what is your so-called Siamese cat . . . really?) to forensic archaeology. In addition to solving the mysteries of your cat's past, it gives us a cat's-eye view of today's habitats, including meeting wild cousins around the world whose habits your sweet house cat sometimes eerily parallels.<br/><br/>Do lions and tigers meow? If not, why not? Why does my cat leave a dead mouse at my feet (or on my pillow)? Is a pet ocelot a bad idea? When and why did the cat make its real leap off the African plain? What's with all those cats in Egyptian hieroglyphics? In a genial voice, casually deciphering complex science and history with many examples from his own research and multi-cat household, Losos explores how selection, both natural and artificial, over the last several millennia has shaped the contemporary cat, with new breeds vastly different in anatomy and behavior from their ancestral stock. Yet the cat, ever a predator, still seems only one paw out of the wild, and readily reverts to its feral ways as it occupies new lands around the world.<br/><br/>Humans are transforming cats, and they in turn are transforming the world around them. This charming and intelligent book suggests what the future may hold for both Felis catus and Homo sapiens.

<b>'A guide to being the best humans we can be for our cats' <i>Focus</i></b><br/><br/><br/><b>A trail-blazing guide to feline mental health from a leading veterinary psychiatrist</b><br/><br/><i>Is your cat happy? What can you do to help? And what can cats teach us?</i><br/><br/> The relationship between humans and cats has never been simple. Cats are mysterious and contradictory, independent and affectionate, predator and prey. Their true nature continues to elude us, and their subtle and complex behavioural problems can often seem unsolvable or incomprehensible.<br/><br/>In this ground-breaking book - a huge bestseller in its native France - veterinary doctor and psychiatrist Claude Beata draws on cutting-edge research and decades of experience with cats, to revolutionize our understanding of pets and transform our appreciation of feline mental wellbeing. Here, we meet Nougatine, a Siamese suffering from bipolar dysthymic disorder, Tabatha, an anxious Ragdoll with attachment issues, and Melly, an Abyssinian struggling with a feline form of schizophrenia - as well as their owners who seek advice and support.<br/><br/>Charming, surprising, and offering illuminating insight into a range of disorders, Beata's book calls for greater compassion and provides a new way of understanding cat psychiatry so we can care for the mental, and physical wellness of our beloved pets.
