A great must-have read for Cat owners and lovers alike! This book has the perfect balance between too little and too much information. I've had cats since I was a young girl and consider myself somewhat of a kitty-whisperer and there was still some great info here that was new to me - plus important reminders on other things as well as great anecdotal extras and facts. The Photography is GORGEOUS.

Like I said above a must have/read for kitty owners and lovers alike. I kept taking screen shots of certain portions and sending to my cat owner friends. Definitely a book I will be buying for myself as well as for friends - the perfect gift this holiday season for the cat lover in your life!

**Thank you so much to NetGalley and The Experiment Books for an eARC copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!**

As a cat owner with multiple fur babies, I am constantly doing research of some type to try to fix problems within my furry household. This book really delves into issues cats have, and does a great job of doing so.

This book is by far the most definitive and easy to use book I've read about cats and who they are as a nation and as our companions. So many of the chapters nailed my current and past cats to a tee. It was readable and easily referenced.

This is a great short book on some really important points on how to be a great cat parent. Some cat parents may already know much of what is in this book, but it's good to have the information collected all together. For new cat caregivers, this is an invaluable resource. It should be available at adoption locations! Your meowy friend deserves the best, and this book will provide the roadmap for providing such.
The book does also a great job of handling what to do when introducing a new cat, or how to handle multiple cats in one house. This is something that is vital- often people have more than one cat and don't follow the proper procedure to make sure their furbabies are stress free.
A great go to book!

This is a great resource for someone who has never had a cat but wants to get one. It has lots of information but more than once the book explains something then turns around and almost contradicts itself. Example: ...cats do this when they're scared (or it could mean that they're really happy). So sometimes it seems that the book should have just said "we don't know why this happens but here's what it could be.

Other than that its a fine book for newbie cat owners but veterans (and veterinarian heh) can skip this.

An excellent resource for cat owners, both old and new to the game. Clearly the author has devoted a great deal of effort to provide concise, accurate knowledge fir cat lovers. The up to date information, such as the reason for the purr, is noted. There is an abundance of decoding within these pages. Excellent gift for a new, or used cat-owner.

I found this book interesting! I learned quite a few facts about my cats that I didn't know before, like the fact that they may be able to SMELL the chemical change in my body while I am having a panic attack, which totally makes sense based on how they act around me while I am in that state.

One thing I didn't love about the book is the fact that there was a lot of information introduced that isn't yet scientifically proven. I would much rather just read a book based on all facts. However, I still enjoyed it.

As a cat lover and caretaker, I can't speak highly enough of this book. It is a must to have on your shelf. It answers so many questions for a catowner. How to deal with a feral cat you might adopt, how to keep your cat clean, what different emotions mean for your cat. The photographs add so much to this book. If you have this one, it will be read again and again.

A very nicely presented guide to living with a cat, and how to care for them - simplistic in places, with lots of glossy photos taking up space on the page. It gives a good overview, and I really liked the checklist at the end, which summarised things nicely.

The Handbook for a Happy Cat is a light overview of cat care. Attractive format and interesting asides, along with some great photography. The information is not detailed enough to cover all the important details of owning a cat (or being owned by a cat). I wouldn’t call it a handbook, but it is a good beginning guide.

"The Handbook for a Happy Cat" is must-read for all the catlovers out there!
For the past 10 years I´ve been sharing my life with my two furry roommates. I thought I was probably doing most of the things right, but I actually learned a lot - from the optimal placement of the food dish to tips to get my scaredy cat used to the vacuum cleaner.
The "Happy Cat Checklist" was a great help in having the most important information in a clear overview.

Thank you NetGalley, Liesbeth Puts and The Experiment for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A breezy and informative read for (current or future) cat owners. Lots of good, scientific advice and a good reference list. I especially liked the handy checklist at the end.

"A Handbook for a Happy Cat" is very informative with concrete suggestions presented in an engaging and friendly manner. From choosing a cat, litter box and feeding tips, signs that a cat is ill or in pain, and how to interpret your cat's behavior and body language, "The Handbook for a Happy Cat" provides important information to help your feline family thrive. Interspersed are great photos of adorable cats and what's better than that?.

This is a great book for cat lovers. It has beautiful pictures in it. It gives thoughtful answers to common questions of cat owners.

I found this book very useful, as I recently got my cat Rocket, who is my first pet. It goes in to a lot of details about what you need to know. I actually wish I had read the book before I got her. It’s extremely helpful for anyone who has never had a cat before.
