The Cat Who Cried for Help: Attitudes, Emotions, and the Psychology of Cats Book

The stories in this book were entertaining. But it felt like the whole idea behind the book was that the author really really wanted to sell us on the idea that Buspirone can fix the anxiety woes our cats have been having.

While you read the stories that this magnificent drug has cured you later find out that it was the author and a colleague that helped in the development in Buspirone into the cat world.

While I understand that anti-anxiety meds can do a world of wonder, I was really looking for a book to help me more with my neutered cat's recent spraying problem. What I learned was to keep the windows blocked from the cats so they don't see any outside kitties (impossible), chase away outside kitties from the yard (Been doing but hard to do), and try Buspirone. (also, take kitty to vet to make sure he doesn't have any internal problems).

I guess I was looking for a better way out than just drugs. While I have been chasing the outside kitties from my yard and washing all the spots Felix have sprayed on, I'm not sure if this book really helped me with my answer.

But... this is a great bathroom book! The stories are short, interesting, and you might even learn something :)
