This is an easy to read and understand book for training your "companion" cat.The book opens with a section on cat psychology. It covers the importance of not using punishment in the form of slapping, hitting or yelling at your cat. Instead, it is suggested to leave the cat alone for a period of time or to distract it with something else.There are also sections covering litter box training, stopping biting and scratching training, staying close to home when outdoors training, walking on a leash training and clicker training. There is even a list of plants that your cat will love. Who knew cats love Mint and Valerian?Clicker training is something I had never heard of being used for training cats. Essentially, this is teaching your cat to associate a food reward with a clicking sound and then transferring the clicking sound to good behavior and the reward.There are photo illustrations throughout the book.This book is useful for helping the first time cat owner train their "little buddy."
