Book Reviews of Why Cats Do That: A Collection of Curious Kitty Quirks
Book Review: Explore the Beguiling Ways of Your Feline Companion
Summary: 5 Stars
My Mom gave me this wonderful book for Christmas, and it is now one of the most treasured volumes in my library. Karen Anderson has a knack for explaining cat behavior in a sweet and enjoyable way that is not only lyrical but effective. Part of the fun of being around cats is trying to figure out the sublime and strange ways that they express emotions like affection, love, curiosity and anger. In this book the author demonstrates her lasting respect and love for these amazing and beautiful creatures. As all cat lovers know, cats do peculiar things that are often difficult for us humans to understand. In this book Karen Anderson succeeds at answering questions from basic fare such as "Why do cats sleep all day?", to more involved questions like "Why do cats cover up their half eaten food?" The answers are sometimes amazing, and will make anyone cherish the quirkiness of their feline companions even more.Any review of this book without praise for Wendy Christensen's beautiful and plentiful illustrations would be remiss. She is a gifted feline illustrator, and the text is immeasurably enhanced by the presence of her drawings.
In the end, the last question in the book is also my favorite: "Why do cats completely endear themselves to us?" Although she does explore answers to this question, I like to think that every cat has their own personality and their own set of beguiling charms so unique, that any answer to that question can never totally do justice to our feline friends.
Bravo, and thank you, Karen and Wendy!
