In this companion to her successful introduction to cat behavior Think Like a Cat, Pam Johnson-Bennett, the award-winning author and feline behaviorist, shows how adding another cat to your home does not have to be the start of a kitty apocalypse. Although cats are often misunderstood as natural loners, Johnson-Bennett shows how to plan, set up, and maintain a home environment that will help multiple cats—and their owners—live in peace. Cat vs. Cat will help readers understand the importance of territory, the specialized communication cats use to establish relationships and hierarchies, and how to interpret the so-called "bad behavior" that leads so many owners to needless frustration. Offering a wealth of information on how to diffuse tension, prevent squabbles and ambushes, blend two families, or help the elder kitty in your family, Cat vs. Cat is a welcome resource for both seasoned and prospective guardians of cat families large and small.

I bought this book on a whim when I was in the bookstore one day. I have 3 cats 2 of which treat the 3rd like a pariah.. So I thought maybe this book might shed some light on the situation.
Well, it did not unfortunately. I found myself skimming over paragraphs, going "yeah yeah I know this already..
Now, don't get me wrong, this book is ideal for people who are ready to embark on cat ownership and know nothing about cats, and for this purpose it is useful.
The author has some other cat books out but I would be reluctant to purchase them. Maybe it was my mistake for not reading a bit of the book before purchasing, but the impression I got was that the book was going to focus on behavorial problems in multi cat households like mine, and it did little of this. The title was misleading in my opinion.

If you have more than one cat you need to own this book. The author explains cat behavior, the cat ranking hierarchy in a multi-cat household, and offers lots of different suggestions to solve problems that arise. We were horrified when our three cats began urinating on our hallway carpet in our new house, but after reading this house we've stopped the problem, and can have company over again! Highly recommended to all cat owners.

Cat Vs. Cat: Keeping Peace When You Have More Than One CatThis book is a magnificent help for all persons like me who has more than one cat at home. I have 4, but one of them is very possessive, he don't want anybody near me, and this book was a strong help to control him with love and many resources. Really Pam Jhonson-Bennett knows very well the cats behavior.

I've had to introduce adult male cats before and learned a lot of the stuff in this book THE HARD WAY. Wish I had this book the first time. I'm currently introduding two adult cats (one male, one female) to my clan of two males, and I knew it was going to be harder than the first go round. I searched for a good book on behavior knowing I would need more help. The litterbox info alone is worth the price of this book. Please buy this book before you ever try to introduce cats to cats...don't just throw them together and let them work it out! It will be worth the planning and patience in the long run!

This book has a heck of a lot of information on cats. If you think you know about felines - think again! Read and learn! This book will help you become a better guardian and your cats will benefit.
