Is Your Cat Crazy?

Whether the problem is strange eating habits or a sudden personality change, aggression or post-traumatic stress, the treatment plan Dr. Wright devises is tailored to the specific cat, situation, and client. A new location for the litter box solves one case, while another requires a systematic desensitization program undertaken over several weeks. The key to some problems lies in the use of an upside-down mousetrap set on a sheet of waxed paper; others call for the client to stop punishing the cat and substitute more effective behavior modification techniques. Through these stories readers will learn why cats scratch and bite, refuse to use their litter boxes, and react in different ways to different people and other animals. They'll find out how and when to pick out a new kitten, what determines a cat's personality, how to deal with multiple cats or outside agitators, and what works and doesn't work when it comes to kitty "discipline."
