Millions of households in the United States have at least one cat as part of their family. Yet despite their popularity, cats continue to be misunderstood by their owners. This lack of understanding can lead to bored, frustrated, and under-stimulated cats, resulting in health and behavior problems. In this book, animal behavior expert Dr. Mikel Maria Delgado shows cat parents what they may be missing: interactive play. Using an evidence-based approach and the latest scientific research, Delgado shows why cats need play and how it is essential to their well-being, provides readers with techniques on how to engage their cat in play, and reveals how to use play to improve problematic cat behaviors. Playfully written and with fun illustrations, this book is an essential read for cat parents looking to understand their feline friend-and have some fun in the process.
