From the jacket flap
Use the gentle principles of Taoism to forge a profound and joyful relationship with your cat.
The epitome of yin-yang, the cat is perfectly balanced between tame and wild, sociability and solitude, action and rest.

Discover:
Step-by-step remedies for difficult problems: refusal to use the litter box, aggression, clawing furniture, and spraying urine
Cat massage and other techniques to increase the flow of "qi and create telepathic communication between human and animal
Interactive human-cat games to give the cat essential mental and physical stimulation
The practice of "wu wei, action through nonaction, to enrich your relationship
Taoist diet needs, a path to understanding a cat's finicky eating, and the best foods for glowing health
