Bradshaw, Casey, and Brown (veterinary sciences, U. of Bristol, UK) help students, ethologists, veterinarians, and cat owners understand the behavior of the domestic cat. They combine mechanistic and functional approaches to describe how patterns of behavior occur, what they are for, and how they benefit the cat, covering cats ranging from pets to feral cats. They discuss the genetic relationship between the domestic cat and the rest of its family, the basis for its domestication, its sensory abilities, mechanisms of behavior, learning and intelligence, behavioral development, communication, feeding behavior, hunting and predation, social behavior, the cat-human relationship, and cat welfare. This edition expands the chapter on behavioral disorders due to pathologies and misdirected natural behaviors into two chapters. Distributed in the US by Stylus Publishing.
