A Person Among Cats: The Story of Close Proximity

Cats and humans have long sought to achieve mutual understanding and adapt to each other's society. On this path, cats have made several steps toward humans, but people are also making efforts by studying the needs of cats, the features of their minds and personalities. This research is the focus of the book by biologist and science journalist Natalia Reznik. Drawing on genetics, zoopsychology, and ethology, she explains how cats conquered the world, what really goes through their minds, and how we, as humans, can build relationships with them based on true partnership. Her book does not contain instructions for caring for cats and does not explain how to feed or treat them properly, but it offers something far greater – a genuine formula for happiness for your cat, and consequently for you, since, as research shows, the happier the cat, the fewer problems there are for the people around them.
