Como Tener Gato Y No Tirarlo Por La Ventana

"Cómo tener gato y no tirarlo por la ventana" (How to have a cat and not throw it out the window) is a didactic and fun journey through the complex world of feline ethology. Written by cat veterinarian Santiago García Caraballo in a humorous and entertaining tone (none of us would really want to throw our beloved kitty out the window), this book offers a reading based on years of experience and study to better understand our feline companions and their often enigmatic and misleading behaviors. The first concept the author makes clear is that cats are not dogs. Our favorite felines are animals that retain their overdeveloped senses and their hunting instinct continues to shape their behavior, even if that behavior takes place in our home rather than in their original African desert habitat. We will explore the fascinating history of domestication and discover how these independent felines became our companions. We will encounter issues and problems that all those who share their lives with cats will have faced at some time: feline stress, aggressive behaviors, excessive vocalizations, estrus and the dilemma of neutering, why won't my cat eat, why won't he stop eating, did he vomit on the carpet again, should I let him go outside, what should we do with stray cats, what should we do with stray cats? An ideal read for cat lovers and the curious alike that will bring more than a smile to your face while providing you with essential knowledge for a happy and healthy coexistence with your four-legged friend.
