Book excerpt: "A cat is a lion in a jungle of small bushes." --English proverb Why do cats always land on their feet after a fall? What allows a sleeping cat to comfortably curl into a circle? Why do cats appear to torture their prey before killing it? Why does your cat knead on your clothing? Just how much attention do cats really require? To answer these and other questions,Wild Discovery Guide to Your Catdraws from science, history, and feline behavior in the wild to explain the inner nature and most puzzling characteristics of America's most popular pet. The result is a practical and fascinating guide to understanding and caring for these beguiling and enigmatic creatures. This engagingly illustrated book takes the same cat's-eye view of the world that infuses the Discovery Channel television series Wild Discovery. It emphasizes the untamed roots of almost every aspect of a domesticated cat's conduct: the crouch-and-pounce string-chase games that mirror stalking prey in the wild, the furniture-scratching preoccupation that echoes the territorial scent deposits a wild cat claws onto trees. Written in an accessible, authoritative style,Wild Discovery Guide to Your Catgenerously mixes the fundamentals of basic care with compelling explorations into cats' physical and psychological traits. Included in this comprehensive primer are detailed insights into all aspects of cat design, from the intricate structure of the feline form to the cat's heightened senses and remarkable agility. The guide explores why cats do the things they do--addressing such issues as grooming, sleep patterns, marking and defending territory, cat language, and learning and intelligence. In addition to probing the tiger within,Wild Discovery Guide to Your Catoffers a host of practical tips on choosing a cat to suit your lifestyle, providing responsible care, cat-proofing your home, and ensuring a smooth transition during the first days at home. Once the cat is a member of the family, the book explains how to bond and play with your new pet, and even how to train and travel with it. Everything you need to know to keep your cat healthy and happy is covered, including the latest information on feeding and nutrition, litter boxes, cleaning and grooming, common health problems, fighting fleas, pregnancy and birth, caring for an aging cat, vet visits, and emergency care. A breed breviary rounds out the book, with the spotlight on the top cat breeds as well as other common feline pedigrees. This section also presents information on body type, common colors, coat type, grooming requirements, and temperament. An informative cat owner's resource guide follows. Accompanied by more than 225 full-color illustrations and photographs showing the similarities between domestic and wild cats, this is an entertaining and insightful approach to feline behavior, pet care, and appreciation for first-time cat owners and veteran cat lovers alike. Lush, lovely, informative and practical, Wild Discovery Guide to Your Cat is a feast for both the eye and the mind...a good introduction to cat care and behavior for novices and also serves as an interesting read for long-time cat owners...There's something for everyone in this book...one of the most educational books to come along in a long time.--Cats, April 2000

Book excerpt: There are roughly 6,600 wild dogs left in Africa yet they have cast such a spell on top wildlife photographer and naturalist Jocelin Kagan that she is determined to help save them. If left to their own devices, they are more than capable of thriving, as this sumptuous photographic natural history shows. Jocelin has called in world experts to add their latest findings about these resourceful, graceful and highly skilled family groups. Nomadic predators whose territories range thousands of kilometres, they hunt co-operatively, preying on small herbivores. Non-confrontational, they form complex bonds as this book reveals. Now restricted to small populations and threatened by some shoot-to-kill policies, habitat fragmentation, diseases from domestic dogs, climate change and snares, as well as natural predation from hyenas and lions, Africa's wild dogs will be supported by all the royalties from this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: GET TO KNOW YOUR DOG. Renowned expert dog trainer and bestselling author of Lucky Dog Lessons Brandon McMillan unpacks the unique and often misunderstood 15,000-year evolutionary history governing a dog’s every move. Most dog owners know the truth—their dogs are totally incompatible with the modern world. Instincts like herding, chasing, and protecting have no natural outlet and frequently result in chewing, barking, nipping, jumping, lunging, and worse. However, as McMillan argues in these pages, the solution isn’t as simple as mastering “sit” and “stay.” No matter what kind of dog you have, no matter how old or young or well trained or well-bred, your beloved companion is strongly influenced by his DNA. The result of these genetic distinctions shows up in every inch and action—from the size and shape of a dog’s head (and the brain inside it) to the length and curve of his tail, from the texture of her fur to the webbing (or lack of webbing) between her toes. It’s in their lung capacity, their tolerance for heat and cold, their appetites for food and exercise, and whether and how they bark. It goes beyond their structure and deep into their psychological profiles. Perhaps you’re lucky enough to have a dog with more than a few breeds mixed in, which makes this information all the more crucial to know and understand. In The Story of Your Dog, McMillan breaks down why your dog acts the way it does, so you can train better and easier, with fewer missteps and miscommunications, and bond in ways you never thought possible. It is an invitation to get to know the sometimes frustrating but always incredible dog at the other end of the leash.

Book excerpt: EXPERT DOG TRAINER AND BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF LUCKY DOG LESSONS, BRANDON MCMILLAN REVEALS THE SURPRISING CONNECTION BETWEEN DOG BREED, BEHAVIOR, EVOLUTION, and GENETICS TO COMMUNICATE BETTER, TRAIN EASIER and BUILD A LASTING BOND WITH ANY DOG After weeks of perpetual "nos" and "offs" don't work, dog owners typically get frustrated, give up, and take the dog back to the shelter--a story repeated thousands of times each year. The sad truth is, dogs have been bred to have a deeply ingrained sense of purpose - like herding sheep, protecting livestock, tracking animals, killing vermin, and even accompanying royalty - but that purpose doesn't necessarily translate to a modern household. This makes training difficult, communication fraught, but most important, it impacts your ability to form a meaningful connection with your new dog. Expert trainer Brandon McMillan begins every training session with a new dog and owner by offering a deep dive into the specific breed and evolutionary forces at work in that unique dog's DNA. Every mutt, mixed breed, rescue, and even "purebred" dog has a complicated set of instincts at play, and those instincts are at the root of behavior problems. In The Story of Your Dog: A Straightforward Guide to a Complicated Animal, he gives pet parents these surprising and necessary insights and tools to bond with their dog in remarkable ways. The key is figuring out what your dog wants and needs by recognizing the biological instincts that drive him to nip, bark, lick, guard, chase, or pull, and then finding a healthy outlet for those instincts. Step 1 is accepting the link between prehistoric wolves and dogs, and the five wolf characteristics that govern dog behavior Step 2 is leaning into your unique dog's group and breed - from the Adorable Hunters (terriers) to the Benevolent Leaders (retrievers) and everywhere in-between - when you know the job your dog was bred for centuries to perform, you have a new lens on their sometimes confusing, alarming, or curious behaviors and how to redirect them The Story of Your Dog is an invitation to know more about the complicated dog at the other end of your leash. As Brandon McMillan shares in these pages, "When owners do the work to uncover the 15,000 years of purpose-driven breeding that motivates their dog, they quickly learn how to correct unwanted behaviors and provide their dog with a joyful existence that leads to a lasting bond."
