This cat behavior book focuses on the special problems that
can arise when you have a multi cat household. Cats adapt to living together
despite not being pack animals, but they do have a hierarchical social
structure that is invisible to many humans. Awareness of this structure, and
the various cats’ places in the structure, helps immensely in keeping things
peaceful. While knowing general cat behavior modification techniques is
necessary when you have multiple cats, knowing the signs of dominance and
stress, and how to recognize the cats’ territories within your house, is not
something addressed in most cat behavior books. This book emphasizes making
sure that each cat is secure in their territory, whether they are the top cat
or the bottom, and how to keep common areas peaceful. I’m looking at our house
differently now!
