The Interpretation of Cats

Claude Béata sheds new light on animal psychology at a time when we are all, more than ever, reappraising our relationships with living things.

The book refers as much to the madness of certain owners as to that of cats, who the author hopes to soothe via his accessible and concrete advice * La Croix * A guide to being the best humans we can be for our cats, with a view to rebuild a ‘respectful relationship'.
