Reviews

A mind-altering book ... What makes Bradshaw's book so valuable is his positive thinking. How can we make the cat less anxious? How can we help?
*The Times*

Exceptionally thorough ... Bradshaw's concern and love for cats shines through ... You could buy a dozen books by the many cat whisperers, cat gurus and cat therapists that exist in our feline-obsessed modern world, but their accumulated wisdom would probably not help you understand your cats as well as Cat Sense
*Observer*

Bradshaw wants us to be better owners, and draws on the latest research - much of it is his own - into feline behaviour to show us how ... He offers admirably pragmatic solutions ... An entertaining book, written in a relaxed style
*Sunday Times*

Biologist and animal-behaviour expert John Bradshaw's book [is] friendly and engaging, has helpful tips for cat owners, and is packed with excellent cat facts
*Guardian*

A fascinating book every cat owner should read
*Irish Times*

Witty, surprising writing ... There is his delight in detail, a talent for dismantling myths, but most importantly an ability to build a coherent and entertaining theory from an apparent contradiction that all cat-lovers will recognise: we seek to understand cats even though it is our lack of understanding that makes us love them
*The Herald*

[Praise for In Defence of Dogs]: The most fantastic book, a revelation
*Observer*

Essential reading
*Daily Telegraph*

A case grounded in kindness and science ... Authoritative, wise and rather moving
*Independent*
