Just when you thought you knew all there was to know about cats comes the ultimate—and unexpected—guide to taking your cat into the wild. Here are cats walking on a leash. Cats hiking on a leash. Cats tramping through snow. Cats camping. Cats kayaking, canoeing, even surfing—yes, cats who love water. When animal writer and active hiker Laura Moss couldn’t find an online resource for hitting the trail with her cat, she created one. AdventureCats.org took off like wildfire, with attention from Wired, the Huffington Post, Outside magazine, BuzzFeed, and much more. Now, the book Adventure Cats—a collection of jaw-dropping photographs, inspiring stories of real-life cats, and all the how-to a cat owner needs—will take readers and their cats well beyond the backyard.

The stories themselves are catnip for animal lovers, from Nanakuli, the one-eyed cat who hangs ten; to Georgie, a four-year-old gray tabby who lives on a sailboat; to Quandary, who not only insists on hiking with her family but also teaches them a valuable lesson: When you follow your cat’s natural tendency to wander, you experience the outdoors at a slower, richer pace. This book will delight every cat person, regardless of whether their pet is inclined to adventure. (Take the quiz at the beginning of the book to find out!)

How to Toilet Train Your Cat
Author: Paul Kunkel
Publisher: Workman Publishing
ISBN: 0761189785
Category : Pets
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
Paul Kunkel’s foolproof, tried-and-true 21 day program teaches any litter-trained cat to use a toilet instead of a litter box. It doesn’t require anything fancy—a toilet, a stack of magazines or newspapers, masking tape, plastic wrap, a supply of cat litter, and a litter box—and it’s the perfect program for anyone who wants a happier, healthier cat. The program begins with you placing the litter box next to the toilet, and ends with your beloved cat using the toilet—just like any other member of the family. For life. Along the way, owners learn why toilet-training is beneficial to cats. In well-researched, totally updated, fact-filled text, Kunkel traces the history of this mysterious animal, and explains why many cats equate the smell of a litter box with danger; why the fragrances, deodorants, dyes, and disinfectants found in most litters are detrimental to your cat’s well-being; and why the decision to transition to the toilet is one that will benefit both you and your cat. No more litter box, no more litter, no more cleaning—and no more smell!
