Is your kitty crazed from too many hours of chasing the same old ball of yarn? Looking for new ways to communicate with the furry, four-legged feline who rules the roost at your home? As the proud owner of a cat you undoubtedly know that these creatures are more mysterious -- and honestly, so much more rewarding and fascinating -- than a run-of-the-mill dog. Let Kitty Kapers take the mystery out of the relationship! Loaded with fun games and activities, this book will bring you closer to your cat while bringing you new understanding of kitty's often-inexplicable behavior. With this book in hand, you'll have your cat rolling in catnip, purring to classic cat-erwauls, and discovering what famous person she is a reincarnation of. Later, while kitty catnaps away, you can sew a homemade cat toy (mouse- or fish-shaped, preferably), a treat that will endear you forever in your cat's eyes.
