Chronicle During Books The Cat Whisperer

Claire Bessant, in using the name"The Cat Whisperer" for her book, gave me the hope that she might be on par with Dog Whisperer, Cesar Milan, but, in my opinion, she has no business claiming to be *any* type of cat expert.
I understand that she is from the U.K. where the majority of cats are mostly outdoor, however she makes it sound as though "permanently indoor cats i.e. 'confined cats'", (as she refers to them) are "living unfulfilled and unnatural lives", and only briefly mentions the fact that outdoor cats often run into dangers such as traffic, disease, fights with other animals, and unsavory or abusive humans, to name just a few, and on average, live shorter lives.
As a professed ailurophile (cat lover), she is also, quite seemingly, anti-dog: "cats will never be manipulated for our own needs like dogs have" is just one quote as she speaks of "non-cat-loving folk" and those that are "pro-dog" as almost faulty in their preference for canines.

One of my largest complaints about the book concerns her very brief discussion about the use (or disuse) of litter boxes. I understand that the majority of cats in the U.K. go outside and she makes it sound as though 'cat trays' and cat litter are oddities. However, in the U.S., one of the *main* reasons (over 90%!) that cats are abandoned at shelters is for inappropriate urination--and the vast majority of those cats are inevitably euthanized!

I also do not agree with her statements concerning feral cats--that after 6-8 weeks old, a feral is "unlikely to ever relax or respond to humans... or be able to settle down in a normal home environment". I have worked with feral cats for over 10 years and have worked with, fostered, and adopted, both kittens and adults. I also currently live with 4 "ex-ferals" and 3 of them were adults when I brought them home and they have adjusted after an introductory period that is, I will admit, longer than would be from a kitten or a "non-feral" cat. But simply because a cat is an adult feral does not automatically mean it cannot adjust to living indoors and around people.

Bessant is, admittedly, good at discussing the vocalizations and body cues that cats use to communicate with us and with each other--including helpful illustrations. However, that was only a single portion of the book and can be found in almost any recently-written cat book that will almost definitely have much more important things to teach us about our feline friends. (You want to learn about cat behavior? Look into Jackson Galaxy!

I found "The Cat Whisperer: The Secret of How to Talk to your Cat" more irritating than interesting and for the most part, either unhelpful, or--in my opinion--just downright incorrect.
I have worked in veterinary medicine for nearly 20 years and volunteered my time to work with ferals for close to 15 yrs, and am currently living with nine cats of my own: (all ferals and/or "special needs") Even with all those years of knowledge and experience, I would still not call myself a "leading cat expert" and am not certain where Bessant came upon that, in my opinion, undeserved title.

Write Up Containing Books The Cat Whisperer

I have just finished reading 'The Cat Whisperer - The Secret Of How To Talk To Your Cat' by Claire Bessant. This is a non fiction/educational book. Claire has wrote a lovely book filled with Informative facts about cats. She provides plenty of examples from her own life to support relatability. In addition, Claire backs many of her facts with research that has been conducted over the years. Yet, she also points out where more research needs to be done to have a definitive answer on many of the

Nothing about author to identify her authority on cats. Could apply little to my own cats.

A very readable and clearly written book for all those who own and/or love cats. Lots of good information and ideas.



Very informative and also entertaining. It does not give you miraculous tips on how to "talk" to your cat but it brings light into plenty of cat behaviours so you can understand them better. It got a little repetitive in the end but I enjoyed the relaxed tone of the book, particularly that it didn't felt like the author was preaching arrogantly.

While quite informative, this book was spoiled for me by the tone of the author. She, it seems to me, has a "bone to pick" with dogs in general. Pun intended. She is constantly comparing cats and dogs which is really pointless in my opinion. Also, she mentions several times different researches without giving any reference. "An American research...blah blah blah". No name.
