Very old and probably a) out of print, and b) maybe not available in the UK, but Dr. Michael Fox's "Understanding Your Cat" is the best I've seen. As I said to him when I first met him, "I've raised 2 1/2 cats on your book"!!

Am not up on more current books.

Thanks for posting that. Mags! I'm not impressed by it just because I met him; loved the book long before. The "two and a half cats" I referred to were Su-Ling, Sultan and Misty who had just recently come.

Thanks ladies! I'd be interested to hear what you think about If Your Cat Could Talk - did you read the reviews?

I'll definitely have a look at Dr Fox's book - I loved the Massage book you sent me! Kizzy is the perfect subject for Cat Massage!

I've got one called Your Talking Cat by Jack Richter which is pretty good.

Also, I am a bit of a fan of an american woman called Pam Johnson, she has books such as twisted whiskers and psyco cat.
