This book was good for telling me more about what cats think, something about which I know fearfully little. I liked it.

Libro que encantará a todos los amantes de los gatos.
En poco más de cien páginas, el zoólogo y etólogo Desmond Morris responde a las preguntas que siempre hemos podido hacernos sobre nuestras mascotas - ¿cuál es el significado del ronroneo?, ¿por qué tienen las pupilas en forma de raja?, ¿cómo afecta el celo a machos y hembras? - con un lenguaje que todos podemos entender, además de ilustrarnos con una magnífica introducción sobre el papel de nuestro querido amigo en la sociedad desde los albores del mundo.
Sin duda alguna lo recomiendo: es un libro bonito y ameno que les dejará con muy buen sabor de boca.
¡Meow! (Yago también que leáis su libro XD).

This book was great to learn more about the itsy-bitsy's of cat behaviour which, as a cat owning family, we thought we knew much but this book expanded our knowledge.
Everything from why does it purr, why do they come to our laps, what's with the playing and flipping of the ball, why can they seem to be 'cruel' when they've caught prey, and to their courtship and (crazy) mating acts, the history of their domestication and lots, lots more.
Just as we read books on people's body language, this is the book for cat's - I know treat and understand my cat much better. Recommended reading for those who own these feline animals!
Oh, and I realized that there's also another book in the series...Peoplewatching. Now, now, ain't it'll be interesting to know more about these two-legged species? ;)

I learned some of the logic behind cats. This will theoretically help me get along with my cats better. Although I doubt it.

It was a good introduction to cats but as a long time cat lover most of the facts in the book I already knew. I had hoped for something a little more academic or something that went into greater depth on the social interactions of those colonies of semi-feral cats. I know Morris has taken part in those studies but Catwatching doesn't touch on it (except briefly in the introduction). The illustrations though are wonderful.
