Descended from shy, solitary North African wild cats, domestic cats set up homes with devoted owners all over the world by learning how to talk to us. Now in The Hidden Language of Cats Dr. Sarah Brown, a renowned cat behavior scientist of over thirty years, reveals the previously unexplored secrets of cat communication in a book that is both scientifically grounded and utterly delightful. Referencing historical records, exploring modern scientific studies of cat-human communication, and including simple, elegant line drawings, The Hidden Language of Cats is perfect for any cat lover who wants to learn more about their companion.
