Why Does My Cat Squeeze Into Boxes?

by Michael Powell

Have you ever wondered why your feline friend eats grass, head butts you, chatters her teeth at birds, licks plastic bags or drinks water with her paw?

Just why do cats bring you dead rodents? Why do they love squeezing into boxes and other small spaces? Why do they keep you wake by caterwauling all night?

If you're curious about your pet's peculiar antics, this book has all the answers.

As a first time kitten adopter, I loved this sweet little volume of kitty cat weirdness. We are fascinated by our new kitten and it is really helpful to have logical reasons for the things she is doing and that we are experiencing for the first time. Cats are really interesting. Who knew? :D

This is a compact book jam packed with solid information and I think it is really useful. The illustrations are also incredibly cute. It is a speedy little read and a terrific go-to reference in one.
I highly recommend it.

This book is all about teaching you why cats do the weird things that they do, and as a cat owner I found it pretty interesting. I’m not quite sure why you’d read it if you didn’t have a cat, though. For what it is, it’s pretty good – and it even gets a little sassy at times, which made me smile. Worth reading if you have cats.

Why Does My Cat Squeeze Into Boxes? is a terrific little book, especially if you love cats! It succintly explains 45 of the most common (and, sometimes, extremely puzzling) cat behaviours. The illustrations are sweet, without taking up too much real estate in what is already quite a short book.

I didn't think it was possible to love my fluffy felines even more than I already do, but reading this book has changed all that. Not only do I love and appreciate my cats even more, but I understand them much more deeply. I was truly moved to find out that some of their behaviours are a direct reflection of their love for me.

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves cats, has cats, or is thinking about bringing a cat into their lives. It also makes an excellent gift for a cat lover, which is how I received my copy.

I really liked this book! It's a short little read with a bunch of kitty quirks explained. It is funny and informative and I find I am paying a lot more attention to my cat's little mannerisms now and learning a lot more about him. If you have cats I definitely reccomend getting this book.
