Recipe

With extraordinary insight and vision, renowned veterinarian and animal behaviorist Dr. Michael W. Fox explores the minds, hearts, and bodies of cats.
Fox believes that cats, and all animals, have much to teach their human companions - if only humans learn how to listen. In Cat Body, Cat Mind, Fox not only teaches readers to communicate with their cats, he illuminates the extraordinary powers that cats possess - from their amazing ability to empathize to their mysterious ability to find their way home.
 
Fox makes a terrific case for the right of cats and all animals to live safe, healthy lives, free from fear and harm. Only by better understanding and appreciating our cats and by strengthening the cat-human bond, Fox explains, can we do right by them.
 
Cat Body, Cat Mind also offers a holistic approach to companion-animal care and preventive medicine, including essential nutritional guidelines, as well as behavioral advice and troubleshooting that will help guarantee a healthy and happy pet.
 
Between understanding your cat's mind and learning how to best take care of his or her body, Fix makes certain that cats and their people will enjoy long and loving lives together.
