Forget those "human" pet books that attempt to explain the meaning of cats. To find out what your kitty is really about, you need a pussycat primer, a tabby tell-all, a "feline for foreigners"- in other words a Cat-tionary. These closely guarded terms (cats don't want humans to know everything), have recently been made available to the cat-owning public. Pass it on.
