Beschreibung
'Feline Social Bonds' revolutionizes our understanding of domestic cats by dismantling the myth of their purely solitary nature. Through comprehensive research spanning two decades across multiple continents, this groundbreaking work reveals the sophisticated social capabilities that cats have developed alongside human civilization.The book presents compelling evidence of complex social hierarchies and group dynamics in both natural and domestic settings, demonstrating how cats balance their ancestral solitary hunting instincts with the social demands of domestic life. The investigation unfolds through three major sections, beginning with the biological foundations of feline social behavior, including detailed hormone studies and neurological research.The narrative then explores observed social structures in various environments, from feral colonies to multi-cat households, utilizing advanced monitoring technologies such as GPS tracking and video analysis. The final section translates these findings into practical applications for improving cat welfare in shelters and domestic environments.What sets this work apart is its rigorous scientific approach combined with accessible explanations, making it valuable for both professionals and dedicated cat owners. The research draws from multiple disciplines, including evolutionary biology and cognitive psychology, to explain how cats navigate social environments.Through detailed case studies, longitudinal observations, and controlled environmental studies, the book provides evidence-based recommendations for managing multi-cat environments and enhancing feline welfare, while acknowledging ongoing debates in the field of feline sociology.
