520    A feline behaviorist and founder of the Cat Behavior 
       Clinic offers advice on how to address common problems 
       ranging from litter-box issues and scratching to spraying 
       and biting by training a cat in accordance with feline-
       specific strategies.  Who says you can't train a cat? Just
       when you thought you had reached the end of your ball of 
       twine, the author, a cat behaviorist comes to the rescue 
       of perplexed cat owners everywhere, providing practical 
       and effective strategies for solving every feline behavior
       problem imaginable. The author has been helping people 
       deal with these dilemmas for two decades, achieving a near
       -perfect success rate. Central to her approach is a keen 
       understanding of the unique way cats see the world, their 
       need for safety and security, their acute territoriality, 
       and their insatiable desire to catch and kill prey. Her 
       proven C.A.T. cat behavior modification plan is a 
       commonsense course of action that can be specifically 
       tailored to your cat in the context of its behavior 
       problems and its particular household environment. Her 
       solutions help transform even the most anxiety-riddled 
       companions into confident, gregarious, and relaxed cats 
       who live longer, happier, and healthier lives. Inside you 
       will discover: how to harness the power of "friendly 
       pheromones" to improve your cat's appetite, exploration, 
       grooming, and play ; Where, when, and how to create a 
       litter box environment that will provide ease of access 
       and reduce anxiety for you and your cat ; How to end 
       aggression in multiple-cat households and help your cats 
       coexist peacefully.  Is it impossible to train a cat? Not 
       anymore! Your days of yelling and tearing your hair out in
       the wake of the latest household "cat-astrophe" are over. 
       In this book, the author takes you inside the mind of a 
       feline to explain why members of one of the world's most 
       inscrutable species act the way they do, and how you can 
       convince them to change their behaviors for the sake of 
       your peace of mind and theirs.
