THIS BOOK TRANSLATES ALL THE MEOWS - IN CASE YOU MISSED ANYTHING Descended from shy  solitary
North African wild cats  domestic cats set up homes with devoted owners all over the world. But
how did those wildcats of old creep into our homes and our hearts  convincing us to keep them
warm  fed  and pampered? Quite simply  they learned to talk to us. Renowned cat behaviour
scientist Dr. Sarah Brown has been at the forefront of research in the field  discovering how
cats use tail signals to interact with each other and their owners. Now she reveals the
previously unexplored secrets of cat communication in a book that is both scientifically
grounded and utterly delightful. Each chapter dives into a different form of communication 
including vocalisation  tail signals  scents  rubbing  and ear movements. The iconic meow  for
example  is rarely used between adult cats - cleverly mimicking the cries of a human infant 
the meow is in fact a feline invention for conversing with people. Through observing the
behavior of two cat colonies in rural England  readers will also have the opportunity to
glimpse into the lives of some of the cats behind Dr. Brown's science. Can we understand what
cats' meows and other signals mean? How do cats actually perceive us? And how can we use this
information to inform how we communicate with our feline friends? Referencing historical
records  exploring modern scientific studies of cat-human communication  and including simple 
elegant line drawings  The Hidden Language of Cats is perfect for any cat lover who wants to
learn more about their companion.
