No matter how much any of us think we know about cats, they will always remain just a little mysterious. And while there are explanations based on behavioral science for many of their habits that we may think of as odd, I would be that for every weird feline habit explained, there’s another quirky one that defies logic. In Making’ Biscuits: Weird Cat Habits and the Even Weirder Habits of the Humans Who Love Them, Deborah Barnes explores the lighter side of feline behavior.
Makin’ Biscuits is a collection of stories from cat lovers around the world who shared their feline family members’ antics and oddities with the author. From boxes to plastic bags to a fascination with water, from litter box behavior to decorating your home with cats in mind, the stories in this book will touch your heart, make you smile, and at times shake your head in wonderment.
Each chapter contains a “Mews from Others” section, where cat guardians share information relevant to the topic being discussed, as well as a “Purr Points to Ponder” section where Barnes offers explanations and suggestions for solutions.
Illustrated with beautiful photos with humorous captions, Makin’ Biscuits provides an entertaining look at feline behavior, but don’t be deceived by the lighthearted tone of this book. Deborah Barnes provides solid, well researched information for cat parents who are trying to understand their feline charges better. This book is a valuable addition to anyone’s cat care library.
