Summary

Meet Beelzebub, who inventively protested the family dachshund's use of his litter box. Or Honey, who, in the absence of hockey pucks, expressed her athletic prowess in a most unsavory way. Cat owners will applaud Dr. Gary Sampson's creative approach to solving even the most purr-plexing feline behavioral issues. Dr. Sampson uses real-life examples from his pet behavior practice to help readers understand the reason behind their cat's behavior; take simple, innovative steps to correct the problem; and prevent future misbehaviors. These laugh-aloud stories will leave readers a bit wiser when it comes to establishing appropriate behavior in their best friend.
