Cat Behavior Insights

Zara Sagan

Sinopse

"Cat Behavior Insights" offers a fascinating exploration of how domestic cats maintain their ancestral instincts while adapting to modern environments, bridging scientific research with practical applications for cat owners and professionals. The book uniquely combines evolutionary biology, behavioral science, and current neurobiological research to present a comprehensive understanding of feline behavior, from hunting patterns to social dynamics.

 
Through a systematic approach spanning three major sections, the book first examines innate behaviors and their evolutionary origins, then delves into social communication systems between cats and humans, and finally applies these insights to practical challenges in cat care. Supporting evidence comes from diverse sources, including GPS tracking studies, video analysis, and neurological research, making complex concepts accessible through detailed case studies and clear explanations.

 
What sets this work apart is its interdisciplinary approach, connecting evolutionary biology, neuroscience, and environmental psychology to explain how cats process information and adapt to different living situations. The book maintains scientific rigor while remaining accessible to both professionals and dedicated cat owners, offering evidence-based solutions for environmental enrichment and behavioral challenges. This balanced presentation of current research, practical applications, and ongoing debates in feline behavior makes it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the sophisticated behavioral systems of domestic cats.

Gentle and Fierce - Essays

Vanessa Berry

To be gentle is to resist the privileging of command above compassion. It is a quiet voice, a persistent whisper, calm and consoling. Ferocity is an armour, a forceful expression of resolve and protection. To be fierce is to know the intensity of the edges of feeling. It is the voice that calls out, intending to be heard.
Gentle and Fierce focuses on the world that humans share with animals. Having spent her life in city environments, Vanessa Berry’s experiences with animals have largely been through encounters in urban settings, representations in art and the media, and as decorative ornaments or kitsch. The essays in Gentle and Fierce suggest that these encounters provide meaningful connections, at a time when our shared world is threatened by environmental destruction. Berry responds with attentiveness and empathy to her subjects, which include a stuffed Kodiak bear, a Japanese island overrun by rabbits, a porcelain otter and Georges Perec’s cat. The essays are accompanied by Berry’s illustrations, which reflect her eye for detail and her background as an artist and zine maker.
Who better than Vanessa Berry, with her pointillist attention and sly humour to document the surprising ways that animals enrich, inform and shadow our human natures. Whether recollecting Frank a taxidermied Kodiak bear, noting the snails that turn letters to Sylvia Plath into lace, or zipping together a personal history with flies, Berry elevates and commemorates those lives that are entangled – too often invisibly – with our own. Ethically astute, formally clever and deftly political, Gentle and Fierce evokes the work of John Berger and Jenny Odell. An urgent and poignant reminder of what we have lost and might yet gain from the more-than-human world. – Mireille Juchau
