Psycho Kitty?

Time to get caught up on the all the books I’ve finished reading and/or perusing lately.  Psycho Kitty? is a fascinating little book by “feline behaviourist” Pam Johnson-Bennett, who’s probably great fun at parties because of all the stories she has to tell.  I’m sure that if she even left out all the stories that involved litterboxes, she’d still be good for hours of entertainment.  Psycho Kitty? is a collection of reports about cats who seemed to their owners to be acting “crazy”, but who were ultimately found to have perfectly understandable—and fixable—reasons for acting psycho.  It’s not really the book about generalized cat behaviour that I was hoping for, but it was an interesting read and made some good points about how cats react to change and stress.  When it comes right down to it, I know next to nothing about cats, and having three of them in the house has been a bit of a puzzle.  I’ll still probably look for a more generalized book about cat behaviour, especially one about how cats interact in groups.  I’ll probably try to pick up a copy of Johnson-Bennett’s Cat vs. Cat and see if it can enlighten me as to how the little beasts think.  I use “little beasts” as a term of endearment, really.

  1. No way, they *are* beasts.  One is disdainful; one is sweet to us, but bossy to the other cats; and the other one slinks around.  They’re weird beasts.  Dogs are just play, eat, drink, pee, poop and sleep.
