THE CAT CODE: Secrets, emotions and signals behind the gaze that watches you every day

Does your cat seem like a mystery wrapped in fur? This is the only book you'll ever need. Whether you're a first-time cat owner or a lifelong feline enthusiast, Everything About Cats is your ultimate companion for understanding the fascinating world of domestic cats, from their ancient origins to the secrets of their daily behavior. The book opens with the science behind what cats truly are: their biology, anatomy, sensory world, and the meaning behind every twitch of a tail or flick of an ear. From there, it traces the cat's remarkable journey through history, from wild predator to sacred Egyptian deity, medieval companion, and beloved family member across world cultures. Subsequent chapters cover breeds and genetics, nutrition, play and environmental enrichment, grooming, and preventive care. The second half of the book dives deep into cat psychology, exploring feline intelligence, memory, emotions, territorial instincts, and social behavior. A dedicated section teaches readers how to decode meows, purrs, hisses, and body language, while the final chapters offer practical guidance for addressing common behavioral problems such as aggression, anxiety, and compulsive habits. Supported by illustrations, diagrams, and real-world examples, this guide bridges scientific knowledge and everyday life with your cat in a way that is both accessible and thorough. Ideal for new owners, experienced cat parents, breeders, and anyone who has ever wondered what their cat is really thinking.
