The Secret Language of Cats
The Secret Language of Cats: How to Understand Your Cat for a Better, Happier Relationship | Susanne Schotz
6 posts | 3 read | 15 to read
Have you ever wondered what your cat is saying? Cats do not meow randomly, nor do they growl or hiss because they have nothing better to do. Cat sounds have a purpose, and they can carry important messages, whether for us or other cats. Susanne Schtz is hard at work on breaking the cat code. She is a professor at Lund University in Sweden, where a long-standing research program is proving that cats do actually use vocal communicationwith each other and with their human caretakers. Understanding the vocal strategies used in human-cat communication will have profound implications for how we communicate with our pets, and has the potential to improve the relationship between animals and humans within several fields, including animal therapy, veterinary medicine and animal sheltering. In The Secret Language of Cats, Schtz offers a crash course in the phonetic study of cat sounds. She introduces us to the full range of feline vocalizations and explains what they can mean in different situations, and she gives practical tips to help us understand our cats better.

My cat forever walks around with his tail up with a slight hook. Good to know he‘s content and happy with us all of the time. 😻

Leftcoastzen That‘s how my Crosby kitty is. 5y

Not so much of a secret anymore. 😹 Still reading my other book, but just picked this one up randomly and read a huge chunk of it. It‘s so interesting, if you‘re a cat person. And then of course I couldn‘t pass up a photo op with the book and my cat! FYI, Cooper would like the record to state that he was in fact yawning and not yowling like a mad cat. 😻 #damnfinecooper #catsoflitsy

Max🐱says that all of his #catsoflitsy friends 😽should tell their humans to read this book so they can understand every mew, trill, meow, yowl, etc.. He says that although his mom is pretty good about listening to him & getting him what he needs, humans can always do better. We give this book 4/5 paws 😻😻😻😻for the blend of (sometimes a tad dry) science & the author's passion for understanding her own 5 cats. Link to review & salmon recipe👇🏻

Today's lunch & #soupersundays blog post is Chickpea Rice Soup, my vegan version of chicken & rice soup with James Beard's "Onion Rings" -little sandwiches made with sweet onion & (vegan) mayo. ??Here with my current read for a book tour review for later in the week. I believe I understand most of Max's ?vocalizing (of which he does plenty) ?but it never hurts to learn more.
Link to recipes is below.??

Weaponxgirl That soup looks delicious 😋 5y
