Using an evidence-based approach and the latest scientific research, Delgado:
- shows why cats need play and how it is essential to their well-being
- provides readers with techniques on how to engage their cat in play
- reveals how to use play to improve problematic cat behaviors
Playfully written and with fun illustrations, Play with Your Cat! is an essential read for cat parents looking to understand their feline friend—and have some fun in the process.
