Critical Reviews
"Too often, we view cat care as topping off the food, refreshing water, and scooping litter boxes even in the realm of professional pet care. There is a group of cat-specific professionals, Beth being one of them, who are leading the way in changing the way we view cat care and ownership. In Understanding Cat Behavior, Beth does a phenomenal job of helping us common folk understand 'how to speak meow.' She answers many stereotypical questions cat owners have, helping us understand the science in plain speak while providing practical approaches/solutions to the situations and scenarios every cat owner finds themselves in. You will find this read enlightening and educational sans all the heady talk that keeps the rest of us away from similar books. I highly recommend this book to any feline owner." --Mike Pitts, Certified Dog Obedience Trainer, ABCDT
"Understanding Cat Behavior: A Compassionate Guide to Training and Communication by Beth Pasek is a great book for anyone trying to understand their cat's crazy antics. An expert in her field, Beth explains cat behaviors in a way pet parents can understand, as she offers realistic solutions to common cat behavior problems. Beth's book is a must-read for anyone contemplating adding a cat to their household, as well as for the veteran cat owner who seeks to understand the feline mind." --Rita Reimers, Multi-Cat Behavior Expert and Founder of RitaReimers.com
"An essential part of any cat owner's library, Understanding Cat Behavior teaches us all how to better speak to and understand our cats. It breaks down the basics of cat behavior in simple terms anyone can understand." --Alice Toriello, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
"Beth takes us on a fun, practical, and insightful journey to the center of your cat's mind. Your cats would tell you this themselves, but then they would have to kill you." --Michael Nappier, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine and Diplomate of the American Board of Veterinary Practitioners
"Beth really brings the connection regarding cat grooming full circle for cat owners. She delves deep on how to make the grooming experience for the cat and owner one of relationship-building and bonding.
