Outwitting cats : tips, tricks, and techniques for persuading the felines in your life that what you want is also what they want
"Skeptics will claim that it's impossible to train a cat. Happily, Wendy Christensen knows they're wrong. True, cats are intelligent, adaptable, patient, independent, stubborn, observant, and extremely quick learners. But they're also remarkably self-interested and quick to exploit a good deal. Outwitting a cat means persuading the cat that what you want is also what he wants.

And she'll tell you how to head off future problems, simply by understanding how your cat thinks"--Publisher's description
