Summary: a marvelous field guide to living harmoniously with cats
Review: At last . . . a book for both the new cat "owner" and those of us who have lived with cats for years! Beautifully illustrated with outstanding photography, this book is an "investigation into the feline mind" which thoroughly explores the character of the cat and celebrates its differences. Cats, unlike dogs whose most important inner directive is pleasing their master, "pride themselves on having a mind of their own." This trait has led to many misunderstandings between humans and cats and has also promoted the "three big myths" about cats which the author debunks in the first part of the book. The major portion of the book is devoted to the "nitty-gritty," practical stuff that is going to make the difference in how your cat responds to you . . . " Each category begins with what a cat "hates" about that topic and ends with what the cat "loves' about the same subject. Even for long-time "cat people" a little reminder of the likes and dislikes of the cat is in order and for a neophyte cat person the messages are invaluable. The author, a devoted advocate of cats and a knowledgeable advisor, calls this section of the book "the little secrets to immeasurable happiness for you and your cat." Not only is this book a marvelous field guide to your living harmoniously with cats, it is also a gorgeous "coffee table" book that just might inspire others to share their lives with the fabulous feline.

Summary: A beautiful book about the rewards of friendship with a cat.
Review: Cats Have No Masters...Just friends is a hard-bound 'coffee table' book about the unique rewards of sharing life with a well-nurtured cat! Filled with gentle advice, gleanings from plenty of cat experience and a whole lot of pure praise for the felis sylvestris catus, this book is as much practical and informative as it is beautiful and captivating. Feline photographers from across the country have contributed amazing photos for the book; all are high-quality color images of cats and their people. With lively text and photos throughout, every page invites a long look and an easy, interesting read. I wrote Cats Have No Masters...Just Friends for all cats everywhere. Actually, I wrote the book for YOU, the cat-curious reader out there - but the cat in your life stands to benefit the most from the kinder and gentler approach to cat handling that I explain in these pages! Smitten with felines at a young age, I have since turned into a serious lover of cats and something of a 'cat advocate' in that I care deeply how cats are treated and whether or not the feline mind and sensitivities are understood. This book explores the feline psyche with an eye on the premise that cats truly do possess an enourmous capacity for devoted friendship with humans! If you seek to live harmoniously with the cat in your midst or simply find yourself intrigued with these fascinating creatures, this book will definitely tickle your fancy. Cats Have No Masters...Just Friends is meant to celebrate the feline and spark new ideas, new insight, new enthusiasm and most of all, new respect for the cat in YOUR life. Karen Anderson

Summary: A wonderful book for kitty lovers of all ages...
Review: I purchased this book for my toddler, Thomas, who has a great love for kitties. I sat down and started reading and looking at all the wonderful pictures and really fell in love with this book. Karen Anderson has included all sorts of fascinating info about cats and what makes them tick. This would make a great gift for someone acquiring their first kitty or someone who has been a friend of kitties for life.
