Makin' Biscuits: Weird Cat Habits and the Even Weirder Habits of the Humans Who Love Them

by Deborah Barnes, Gwen Cooper (Foreword by), Stephanie Piro (Illustrator)

Overview

Makin' Biscuits - Weird Cat Habits and the Even Weirder Habits of the Humans Who Love Them is an entertaining compilation of candid and personal anecdotes from the author and cat lovers worldwide that delves in the feline psyche, answering those age-old elusive questions, such as, why does my cat zoom from one room to another for no reason?

With story submissions from well-known cat loving celebrities to everyday people, some stories will have you laughing out loud, some will tug at your heart, and some will leave you scratching your head in wonderment. Along with the fun peek into the feline mind, Makin' Biscuits is also a serious book with an important message on proper pet responsibility and is filled with well-researched advice, tips, and solutions to ensure your cat lives an optimally happy and healthy life befitting his feline nature.

Including a special Foreword from bestselling author, Gwen Cooper of Homer's Odyssey, the ultimate goal of Makin' Biscuits is to help make the world a better place for cats by busting outdated misconceptions, such as that they're too aloof to make good pets, and to enlighten the reader with easy to understand information to help enhance the feline-human relationship and correct certain common behavioral problems that often land a cat into a shelter--such as litter box issues or scratching furniture.

Editorial Reviews

"As someone who's devoted his life to the animal-human bond, I thoroughly enjoyed Makin' Biscuits - a clever, witty, and insightful peek into the feline mind via shared narratives from real-life cat lovers along with solid advice and tips to promote responsible cat care." Dr. Marty Becker, "America's Veterinarian," contributor to Good Morning America and The Dr. Oz Show, three-time bestselling author of 25 pet-related books "What a delight to read! Deb Barnes has gathered a terrific collection of touching cat stories that are sure to make you smile. She marries these stories with important cat behavior lessons, resulting in a unique and enjoyable book that sheds light on so many misconceptions about cats." Kate Benjamin, founder of Hauspanther and co-author of Catification and Catify To Satisfy "In Makin' Biscuits, Deborah Barnes uses humor to deliver a serious message about responsible pet ownership. With anecdotes from cat lovers, as well as experience with her own cats, Barnes gives us a whimsical, candid look at life with cats plus tips, suggestions and references to help keep them happy. Written in a conversational style, she shares funny, eccentric and often touching tales of cats and their people. My favorite anecdote is the story about an owner who "time-shared" Tux the cat with loving neighbors for eight years. Read on to find yours!" Ramona D. Marek, MS Ed., author, Cats for the GENIUS "Makin' Biscuits provides an entertaining look at feline behavior, but don't be deceived by the lighthearted tone of this book. Deborah Barnes provides solid, well-researched information for cat parents who are trying to understand their feline charges better." Ingrid King, award-winning author and publisher of The Conscious Cat
