1991.0. "BOOK: What's your cat thinking" by CURIE::SADLER_TEMP () Mon Nov 21 1988 17:34

    Did anyone esle see the book advertised in the Boston Globe Parade
    Section?  Its called something like--Cats, how to understand what
    they're saying.  The ad described how cats make gestures and sounds
    so you can tell what they're thinking.  Its based upon years of
    note-taking by cat lovers.
    
    Its not too scientific, but would make a nice holiday gift for a
    cat fancier.  There's even a satisfaction guarantee by the Globe.

	Here's the whole scoop on this book: Do Cats Think? Publisher's Choice Box 4171, Dept. CL50-PE Huntington Station, NY 11746 Ask for #CL5 Do Cats Think? $6.95 + $1.90 Postage Guaranteed satisfaction or return for full refund. Here's what the ad in the Globe read: "Cats remember. Cats communicate. Cats learn. And cats think...as every devoted cat-owner knows. And cats can make known their thoughts and feelings to anyone who cares enough to observe their behavior...and knows what to look for. Here, in an absolutely fascinating book, the author shares his insights and observations and most delightful anecdotes from over four decades of cat-watching. Behind their charming antics, he reveals, cats are surprisingly similar to us..and are fully capable of experiencing all the emotions we are. As proff, he shares example after example of intelligent behavior he has personally observed in the many cats he and his family have lived with over the years. WHAT IS YOUR CAT TRYING TO TELL YOU? You'll find out all about how cats communicte, from the "silent meow" and subtle body movements to the three distintive "meow" sounds cats make and the occasions for each...and about how they lear, both from older cats and from humans. Along the way, many long-held myths about cats get debunked and the record set straight--cats can be trained, and they do give and receive affection." Sorry this was so long... Cathy

1991.5	CAN'T WAIT TO READ IT!!	USMFG::SMONTANARI	`Thu Dec 01 1988 12:29`	16
	I'm definately interested in getting this book since my two kids talk so much with me. We always have conversations together and I basically understand most of it, but there are those times when I just don't know what the heck their talking about! What is the procedure for ordering? Just write a letter requesting this book with check enclosed? I'm always skeptical doing this, paying before receiving but it will be worth it. By the way, has anyone tried to look for it in bookstores? Just curious. Thanks again for the info!! Now if they would only publish one for cats "How To Understand Humans"!!!!!
