Some of this might be outdated (30 years), but this was still enjoyable.
The Psi trailing was intriguing - multiple pets have travelled over a thousand miles to reunite with their owner. I didn't know cats could recognize themselves in a mirror or be trained through IQ tests.

Interesting read. Redundant in spots but I’ve got some ideas to try out. I finish this book believing that MY cat is very smart!
