About this listen
Have you ever wondered what your cat is saying? Cats do not meow randomly, nor do they growl or hiss because they have nothing better to do. Cat sounds have a purpose, and they can carry important messages, whether for us or other cats.
Susanne Schötz is hard at work on breaking the cat code. She is a professor at Lund University in Sweden, where a long-standing research program is proving that cats do actually use vocal communication-with each other and with their human caretakers. Understanding the vocal strategies used in human-cat communication will have profound implications for how we communicate with our pets and has the potential to improve the relationship between animals and humans within several fields, including animal therapy, veterinary medicine, and animal sheltering.
In The Secret Language of Cats, Schötz offers a crash course in the phonetic study of cat sounds. She introduces us to the full range of feline vocalizations and explains what they can mean in different situations, and she gives practical tips to help us understand our cats better.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Difficult to get into.
Im sure a lot of worthwhile research went into this book. Perhaps if I was a professor of phonology I would find this absorbing. However I'd rather listen to a party political broadcast.
This was too technical for a mere human like me.

Very Informative & Relaxing To Listen To
I really am enjoying this book. I'm getting a kitten soon and it's a wonderful insight into how cats tick. Wonderful, relaxing narration, packed full of information and so much cat psychology. Very happy that I chose this title.
