3 out of 5 stars 'Some' biology, not 'the' biology   March 5, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

This is not the book implied by its title. It is not a chapter by chapter account of domestic cat behaviour, but the edited proceedings of a symposium of cat behaviour specialists. These are accessible to lay people, but some papers are too full of statistics to be of interest to the average cat fanatic, and others which (a bit like some human sociological reseach!) make you think, 'But it didn't need research to tell me that'. And as the editors say in their introduction, 'This second edition covers more, but not all, aspects of domestic cat behaviour and ecology'. As someone who bought the book in the hope of a full and detailed guide, I find myself therefore a little disappointed.
