MUST read- best book on cats I've read
This book will surprise and fascinate you. Mr. Masson once again amazes. Simply the best book I've read that will interest cat and "non-cat" readers, and anyone interested in animal (or human) psychology. He takes readers through the "nine emotional lives of cats," (narcissism, love, contentment, attachment, jelously, fear, anger, curiosity, and playfulness), drawing on readings and research drawn from psychology, history, and scientific disciplines. He helps the reader understand the mind of the cat , its deep mysteries (some that we may never solve), and its ties to its "natural" ancestry, which leads to a greater understanding and appreciation of why they "do what they do." Absolutely, a wonderful addition to your library.
