Let’s Talk About Cats- Anita Kelsey

By

Let’s talk about cats – Anita Kelsey

This is my first book read in 2021 and I really hope the rest of my reading this year is as good.

Being a cat obsessed book worm I have probably read most of the feline themed books available, some good and some not so good. This book is different, it includes conversations with many cat experts all from different fields of the feline world. All of the conversations were very different and all of them fascinating and engaging.

Many of the people featured I had knowledge of and I was interested in finding out more about them. This book features to name just a few: Cat Expert Jackson Galaxy, therapy cat London, the cat man of Aleppo and Animal Communicator Penelope Smith.

There are 16 different conversations in total, plus lots of information and stories from Anita herself, being an experienced Feline Behaviourist Anita certainly knows her stuff.

As a cat sitter it was interesting to hear some stories of her cat sitting experiences which were often heartfelt and poignant.

I can’t say which were my favourite conversations as they were all fascinating and they have made me want to read more about certain people and ideas.

Some of the conversations were hard to read as extremely sad and others were lovely and warming.
I recommend this book to all cat lovers and really hope it sells well as educating more people in feline matters is so beneficial to cats welfare.

This book is available on kindle and in paper form from the usual places.

Total Cat Mojo

By

Mr Ringo with Total Cat Mojo book

Total Cat Mojo is a great read all about understanding your cat better to improve their wellbeing both physically and emotionally.  Jackson Galaxy and Mikel Delgado are both cat behaviourists in America and really know a lot about our feline friends.  As most people seem to keep their cats indoors in the States, there may be some opinions about keeping cats indoors you may not agree with but if your cat is an indoor cat you will find it useful.

Two things that stood out for me in this book are how important play is to cats and also how important vertical space is to them. This goes for cats that are indoor/outdoor and indoor.  This book tells us about the play sequence called HCKEGS.

Hunt   Catch   Kill   Eat   Groom   Sleep

The first 3 involves us playing with our cats, this would need a fishing rod type toy, then ending with a meal for the cats. The grooming and sleep the cats can do for themselves unless you have a cat who loves being brushed, unfortunately Mr Ringo has never been keen…..

When I talk about vertical space I mean the cat’s environment being enriched by tall cat trees, shelves and areas up high that the cat can get to, to observe their world and also get away from stresses of home life. This book also covers many common cat behavioural issues in a very down to earth way and is very helpful. But of course as all good cat owners know, seeing your vet is always the first place for advice in case of any medical issues.

I really enjoyed this book and found it to be very readable. It made me smile, feel sad and is full of tips to make you and your cat discover their confidence or cat mojo. The cartoons are wonderful too. It would make a great gift for any cat lover and their cat.  

Enjoy!       Love Rachel & Mr Ringo   xx
