Win 1 of 4 copies of "Cats work like this" by David St John Thomas & Gareth St John Thomas
Cat lovers will adore this must‐have, erudite, tongue‐in‐cheek guide to the inner musings of our feline friends.
Nearly a third of all Australian households keep a cat. That’s a lot of ailurophiles who know that even after ten thousand years of living with cats, no one really has a clue what their cat is thinking!
Cats Work Like This is a humorous romp through the fundamentals of cat behaviour and motivation, offering insight into how they get the most from their humans.
This is an insider’s guide, from a cat’s eye point of view, into the unfathomable mind of the cat, based on the observations of the authors over two generations of watching their own cats work. Filling the gap between prettily written cat biographies and workman like cat care manuals, Cats Work Like This speaks to the pure joy, and not a little eyebrow‐arching perplexity, known exclusively by those who find comfort in the company of cats.

Chapters include Habits, with an insight into how cats train you to have the right ones; and The Scientific Cat, with observations and empirical learning following the classic scientific method, as cats are natural sceptics requiring hard data to confirm their working theories.
Find out what cats do while you sleep, what a cat’s eyes can tell you and what there is to understand about political and ‘eco’ cats. With a focus on attention, emotion, cute affection, manipulation, cunning and cussedness, Cats Work Like This gives a rare insight into the elusive workings of a cat’s mind.
