I don’t like cats. Well, actually I’m allergic to them, so I don’t like being AROUND cats. And prior to this book, I didn’t realize there was such a thing as a Certified Animal Behavior Consultant (CABC, if you’re in the know), but hey, it takes all stripes, spots, and shades. So, with that as a backdrop, I went into this book with a healthy (relative term) skepticism about pet psychiatry and what not.Be that as it may, I found this book to be extremely thorough and well researched and, hey, you can’t help but believe what she says about the inner workings of cats and dogs because she writes with a definite sense of authority. This book covers just about everything you could imagine about pet dynamics and, despite its focus on dog and cat interactions, is helpful for people like me, who would never dream of getting a cat, but often wonders what on earth is going on in my dog’s head. Very interesting read - even for the skeptic in you.By the way, I received a complimentary digital edition of this book from Story Cartel because I promised to write an honest review. Honestly, I wouldn’t have picked it up otherwise, but I’m glad I did. (If you think I’m being kind for the wrong reasons, you should see what I wrote about those other books... )
