About this title: The author has an instinct for animals and what makes them behave the way they do.

"I love EMT's intense observations and passionate descriptions. Without anthropomophizing, she grants animals (cats, in this case)a wide range of emotions and motivations, and delicately portrays their personal (felinal?) lives."
