This essential new publication features 16 unique, in-depth conversations with devoted feline experts, each chapter answering a question about our cats.

The author also provides her professional guidance on cat care, explains the most important cat concepts, and expands on the most important issues and debates in the cat world.

From Jackson Galaxy, the US cat guru who starred in his own TV series ‘My Cat From Hell’, to classical composer David Teie, whose ground-breaking album, Music for Cats, was released by the Universal Music Group; each chapter demonstrates a real love for cats and offers a wealth of fascinating insights.
