How Cats Communicate with Us and Each Other

 Dr. Sarah Brown is a respected scientist who has studied the behavior of cats for thirty years. In this book she condenses her research for the general public, particularly cat lovers. She discusses the history of cats from their background as wild cats in North Africa to today’s feral cats and those lucky domestic cats living in loving homes.


I was fascinated about how cats use their tails to communicate. Dr. Brown also goes into other forms of communication such as their vocalizations and ear movements. The fact that cats use their meow which mimics the cry of a baby to communicate with humans was fascinating.


In addition to her scientific research, Brown has amusing anecdotes about her cats and those she’s studied. This book can be very helpful in understanding cat behavior. The science is understandable and the antics of her cats are fun to read about.


Thanks to the publisher and Net Galley for this review copy.
