Cats communicate constantly through tail, ears, eyes, whiskers, and voice. This guide decodes every signal — play, fear, purring, aggression — so you finally understand what your cat is really saying.
Cat owners miss most of what their cat is telling them — not from inattention, but because feline communication is genuinely subtle. Decoding Cats breaks down every channel cats use to communicate, from tail position to facial micro-signals to vocalizations, so owners can finally tell an invitation from a warning.
Eight chapters walk through tail language, ears/eyes/whiskers, vocalizations, the truth about purring, full-body postures for play/fear/aggression, and — critically — how to read all of these signals layered together in real context, the way cats actually send them. Readers walk away able to catch overstimulation before a swat, tell contented purring from stress purring, and give a fearful cat the space she needs.
Includes a quick-reference Cat Signal Cheat Sheet (both print and digital editions) plus AI-powered prompts at the end of every chapter. Available in print (8.5×11, binder-ready) and digital (6×9, phone-optimized) formats. Instant download after purchase.
