The Intelligent Cat

This is the first book in print to deal directly with the question that millions of those who own and love cats have asked over the two-thousand-odd years that humans and cats lived together: How intelligent are cats? More to the point, how intelligent is your cat? Grace Pond and Angela Sayer have complied a comprehensive guide to feline intelligence. As we can't fully understand the forms of communication between cats, we must first grapple with what man has learned about the behavior of cats over many years/ This understanding also requires some notion of the way the brain of the cat has evolved and how its nervous system functions, as well as a general sense of the cat as an organism. But the key to understanding and measuring your cat's intelligence can be found in certain areas of behavior - learning, territorial making and communication, sexual behavior and maternal behavior, hunting, killing, and eating. Other clues are offered by the way cats sleep and wash. And there are some unusual forms of behavior outlined here which provide additional clues. The Intelligent Cat gives you the means to make a reasonably accurate assessment of any cat's intelligence and it arrords some fascinating insights into areas like feline character and language, the psychology of cats, and even a special treatment of the care of older cats. While this book is desighed for the serious cat lover and fancier, it also gives a basic introduction to the various types of cats, as well as why they behave in their bewildering variety of ways, and how one can understand and even train them.
