Pet-trainer, "educatore" degli amici a quattro zampe di vari divi dello spettacolo, Bash Dibra insegna in questo libro a socializzare con il proprio gatto, a vedere il mondo come lo vede lui, a capire il suo linguaggio. Il lettore, promette Dibra, imparerà le "parole" per insegnare al micio a non farsi le unghie sul divano, a non arrampicarsi sulle tende o a non mangiare le piante. Il gatto sarà un animale appagato e sano e della relazione gatto-padrone si potrà dire, come nelle fiabe, che vissero per sempre felici e contenti.
Cats are intelligent and reasonable animals, capable of enormous affection and loyalty and willing to cooperate with their owners-if asked to do so in a polite manner. With dogs, one commands; with cats, one suggests. Knowing which "suggestions" to make, and how to make them, is the key. In CatSpeak, Bash Dibra shows cat owners how to do the previously unthinkable: train their cats! Understanding feline body language, facial expressions, vocal signals, and the instinctive behaviors that make up CatSpeak, the unique language of cats, is vital to the endeavor. So are the three P's: patience, persistence, and praise. The author takes the reader step-by-step in forming a new, mutually satisfying human-feline relationship. With easy-to-follow instructions and complete, up-to-the-minute information, CatSpeak provides everything you need to know to have a happy, healthy, well-mannered cat.
