Unexplored secrets of cat communication

Descended from shy, solitary North African wild cats, domestic cats bonded with owners by learning how to talk to us. This book translates—in case you missed anything.

Renowned cat behavior scientist Dr. Sarah Brown discovered how cats use tail signals to interact with each other and their owners. The Hidden Language of Cats, scientifically grounded and utterly delightful with its elegant line drawings, dives into other forms of communication, including vocalizations, scents, rubbing, and ear movements. The iconic meow is rarely used between adult cats—cleverly mimicking the cries of a human infant, the meow is a feline invention for conversing with people. We use this information to inform how we talk back to our feline friends.
