Friday, we talked about children and cats and I introduced you to Pamela Johnson-Bennett’s book, Cat Wise. I thought you’d like to know more about this author. She’s a cat behaviorist and starred in the UK Animal Planet TV series, Psycho Cat. She has ten books, including Think Like a Cat, Cat vs Cat, Starting From Scratch, Hiss and Tell. And her site is full of useful tips and help with any issues you may be having with your cat. For example, she offers hints and helps for people with cats that knock things off the tables, play too aggressively, carries food away from his dish, has litter box problems, etc. She offers ideas for feeding multiple cats in the household different diets, calming tension between cats in the household and so much more. Check out her site here: http://www.catbehaviorassociates.com/
Amy Shojai is also an animal behaviorist. She writes and answers questions about issues with both cats and dogs. Sign up for her newsletter and learn more about Amy, her work and her books here: http://shojai.com/amy-intro-page/
And, of course, there’s Jackson Galaxy of Animal Planet’s Cats From Hell. See what he’s been up to here: http://jacksongalaxy.com/
Have you ever had a cat psychic for a problem with your cat? I have—but that’s another 
story for another time. I heard of this same animal psychic counseling a dog in this area. The gal has several animals and one of her small dogs was acting up or sad or something. So she called the psychic, who told the dog owner that the dog was upset about a scarf. The psychic was confused, but said, that the dog had told her all the other dogs get scarves, but not him and he’s angry. He wants a scarf, too.
Turns out that a groomer comes in and grooms the dogs once a month or so and, for some reason, the groomer ties doggie bandanas around the necks of all the other dogs—but not this one small dog. Now isn’t that something? Makes you look at your dog in a little different light, doesn’t it? Do they really get their feelings hurt that easily?
