Product Description

‘A guide to being the best humans we can be for our cats’ Focus


''Fascinating. A must for every cat owner'' Philippa Perry

A trail-blazing guide to feline mental health from a leading veterinary psychiatrist

Is your cat happy? What can you do to help? And what can cats teach us?

The relationship between humans and cats has never been simple. Cats are mysterious and contradictory, independent and affectionate, predator and prey. Their true nature continues to elude us, and their subtle and complex behavioural problems can often seem unsolvable or incomprehensible.

In this ground-breaking book – a huge bestseller in its native France – veterinary doctor and psychiatrist Claude Béata draws on cutting-edge research and decades of experience with cats, to revolutionize our understanding of pets and transform our appreciation of feline mental wellbeing. Here, we meet Nougatine, a Siamese suffering from bipolar dysthymic disorder, Tabatha, an anxious Ragdoll with attachment issues, and Melly, an Abyssinian struggling with a feline form of schizophrenia – as well as their owners who seek advice and support.

Charming, surprising, and offering illuminating insight into a range of disorders, Béata’s book calls for greater compassion and provides a new way of understanding cat psychiatry so we can care for the mental, and physical wellness of our beloved pets.
