Summary: Great book for training cats!
Review: I bought this book to help me understand how to train my very active Bengal. He needed to learn some manners, and we both needed a "common language" so we could communicate with each other. This book was specifically recommended to me by a cat behavior specialist in Seattle.
The book is an easy read, as it is not overly long or complicated. The techniques are simple to understand and are explained in clear terms.
The clicker training techniques were originally used to train marine mammals, like dolphins! I have seen the amazing things trained dolphins can do when trained, so I thought surely my cats can benefit from this technique as well.
The book suggests that you begin with a very simple little trick, which actually comes naturally to your cat. Once your cat figures out that by performing the trick he has trained YOU to give him a treat, the rest is a piece of cake! My cat enjoyed the training and it provided some nice bonding time for us. It was exciting to be able to clearly communicate with my cat and know he understood exactly what I was saying.
My Bengal can now (on command)"sit," "get down," "jump up," and walks on a leash. The training only took a few minutes a day, and in less than a week the communication between me and my cat had improved significantly.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who wants to understand their cat, change or improve their cats' behavior, or anyone who wants a fun way to create a bond with their pet.

Summary: Neat little book
Review: My dogs are both clicker fanatics, but my kitties were left out of the fun. Who knew that after only a few sessions with the clicker, my cats' recall would be more reliable than my dogs'? These exercises are simple, clearly explained and fun. All of us who live with cats should have a copy!
