A Cat is Watching: A Look at the Way Cats See Us by Roger A. Caras - Hardcover Book on Animal Psychology, Non-Fiction Insight into Feline Perception

Discover the intriguing world of feline perception with "A Cat is Watching: A Look at the Way Cats See Us" by Roger A. Caras. This hardcover book offers a delightful and informed exploration of how cats perceive and react to the humans in their lives. Renowned pet writer Caras delves into the fascinating ways cats interpret their surroundings, often in ways that surpass human capabilities. Learn about the acute senses of felines, from their ability to see in dim light and ultraviolet rays to their extraordinary hearing range, which is twice that of humans. Understand how cats use the "Jacobsen's organ" in the roof of their mouths to "taste" particles of air, a trait shared by only a few mammal species. Caras also touches on the intriguing extrasensory abilities of cats, such as their capacity to navigate home over long distances by detecting variations in the planet's magnetic intensity. This book also explores the historical role of cats and the value of the human-feline bond. As Caras insightfully states, "If we could be as clever as the cat, and not lose some of the choicer elements of childhood, not only would we be wiser in the end, but the end would perhaps be slower in coming." Add this captivating and informative book to your collection and gain a deeper understanding of the mysterious and fascinating ways cats view their world.
