This is a very funny book of fascinating facts about feline psychology, behavior, and health, with unique insight about cat traits we thought were inexplicable. For example: Why do cats suddenly start racing around the house for no apparent reason? We call this strange behavior "crazy hour." As the most highly evolved predator on the planet, cats are perfectly designed for hunting . . . Hunting requires long periods of stalking and waiting, punctuated by a sudden and furious burst of activity as they go for the kill. During these periods, cats sleep, rest, and conserve energy. House cats average 17 hours of sleep a day, particularly on days when 24 or Lost aren't on television. In mouse-free environments, cats lack prey, and these long periods of rest are interrupted by bursts of activity that mimic a cat's natural behavior--the capture of food prey. The stored energy eventually has to be released.This is not a book just for cat lovers but for any reader who loves entertaining nature books such as Why Do Men Have Nipples? and Do Fish Drink Water? Dr. Skip Sullivan is a vet who owns The Cat Practice in New York City, which he founded in 1972. He is a graduate of the Veterinary School at Cornell University, and he is a Vietnam veteran who served in the Marine Corps and was awarded the Bronze Star Medal with a combat V. David Fisher is a comedy writer who lives in Riverdale, New York, with his family (and two cats )
