Indoor Cat: How to Enrich Their Lives and Expand Their World

Running Press, 2022

Can an indoor cat live a happy, stimulating, and active life? A veterinarian and a journalist answer this question with a resounding “yes,” and offer real-life guidance for opening up your cat’s world, even if they stay within the confines of your home. 

There are many myths our culture perpetuates about domestic cats: they live longer indoors, sleep all day, are easy and low-maintenance pets, and can’t be trained. Even the most well-meaning kitty caregiver will be surprised to learn that these long-held beliefs aren’t necessarily based on facts, but instead reflect the many ways we have adapted our feline friends to our indoor, domesticated lifestyles.

Indoor Cat, by Laura J. Moss, journalist and founder of Adventure Cats, and Lynn Bahr, a feline-only veterinarian, explores how to help cat owners understand a cat’s perspective of their indoor homes, with practical ways to enhance cats’ lives to the fullest and combat countless health and behavioral problems that result from indoor living, as well as raising the question: Should every cat live exclusively indoors?

Together with scientific studies, expert opinions from vets and behaviorists, and firsthand accounts and interviews, this informative and engaging full-color guide strives to reach compassionate cat owners looking for new ways to care for and connect with their feline companions.

Adventure Cats: A Guide to Living Nine Lives to the Fullest

Workman, 2017

Just when you thought you knew all there was to know about cats comes the ultimate — and unexpected — guide to taking your cat into the wild. Here are cats walking on a leash. Cats hiking on a leash. Cats tramping through snow. Cats camping. Cats kayaking, canoeing, even surfing — yes, cats who love water.

The stories themselves are catnip for animal lovers, from Nanakuli, the one-eyed cat who hangs ten; to Georgie, a 4-year-old gray tabby who lives on a sailboat; to Quandary, who not only insists on hiking with her family but also teaches them a valuable lesson: When you follow your cat’s natural tendency to wander, you experience the outdoors at a slower, richer pace. This book will delight every cat person, regardless of whether their pet is inclined to adventure. (Take the quiz at the beginning of the book to find out!)
