He also makes a strong case for cat-watching as a delightful, productive hobby in an automated edge. As researchers have pointed out, in many ways cats are surprisingly similar to man. They may even surpass him, Corey believes, in dignity and independence. Without attempting to anthropomorphize, he shares example of intelligent behavior exhibited by cats he and his wife have taken care of over the years. Do cats think? deals with cat communication (from what the author calls the "silent miaow" to what appears to be tears) and learning (such as the "kitten-garten," in which the mother cat trains her young to hunt, play, groom, and observe the rules of the house).
