I enjoyed Janet Lewis’ take on raising cats, though the training techniques are not as straightforward and actionable as she makes it seems. Simply put, it isn’t as applicable if you actually own a cat—some breeds (like my old Russian Blue) would have taken straight to her advice, but my Tortie now is about as non-compliant and unmotivated as possible.
