Cat's Mind - What They Really Think: What They Dream About, Reading Their Body Language, Can They Go Vegan, Secret Language Of Meows, Think Like A Cat, Whiskers, Q&A, Feelings, Microbiome & More!

THERE'S ALWAYS SOMETHING NEW at the frontier of feline behavioral science, and Inside Your Cat's Mind aims to keep you informed. In the current issue, we report on new research tracing the microbiome (bacteria in the cat's gut and anus) to behavior and health —along with corrective therapies when it needs repair. We bring you a Q&A with animal behaviorist Sarah Brown, who explains feline body language and vocalization based on her firsthand work in the field. And we cover the surprising new trend of some cat owners to introduce their cats to vegan diets, even though cats are born hunters and carnivores—another instinct we cover here. How do you keep the hunter happy through games alone, especially inside? There's so much more inside: What do cats dream about? How rich is the feline sense of smell? Should you buy pet insurance? How do you bathe and groom your cat at home? And as a bonus, read our special report on the irrepressible Ann-Margret and her lifelong love-affair with cats. Enjoy!
