Cat Sense: How the New Feline Science Can Make You a Better Friend to Your Pet by John Bradshaw
5.0
Cats are under more pressure to change than at any time since they decided to cast their fate with people and take up residence around granaries, homes, and ships in the role of rodent control. Until 50 years ago, scientists assumed cats were similar to dogs and people generally let them run free. Cat Sense by John Bradshaw reviews the new feline science and the sudden (in evolutionary time) pressure for cats to hunt less and join the domestic group more.
Cats are solitary hunters. Domestic cats made one small adjustment to their behavior: they tolerate people. Bradshaw wonders if there is any way for them to hunt less and tolerate other (pets and people) more. His conclusion is discouraging. The best pets are most often neutered, and the wildest cats continue to breed. The breeders are no help as they select for appearance, not behavior in contrast to dog breeders who select for both.
