About the Author

As a multiple world champion Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu competitor, as well as a martial arts expert and teacher (having trained the likes of Chuck Norris and many top UFC fighters), David Meyer has spent a lifetime enabling weaker individuals to become stronger. But as the co-founder and president of Adopt-a-Pet.com, he is a passionate advocate for the truly powerless in our society – abandoned and homeless animals. David has used his skills to help guide Adopt-a-Pet.com to become the world’s largest non-profit homeless pet adoption website, and he continues to push the organization forward and act as a spokesperson for all shelter animals.

Abbie Moore, executive director of Adopt-a-Pet.com, revels in the opportunity to bring joy to animals and the people who adopt them. After starting her career in the entertainment industry, Abbie pursued her passion for animal welfare and worked at a large animal rescue organization in Los Angeles. With Adopt-a-Pet.com, Abbie leads many new initiatives, including celebrity-oriented social networking campaigns and the organization’s extensive work with professional athletes who have a passion for helping stray pets.

Dr. Pia Salk specializes in social justice and the human-animal bond. She is an Adopt-a-Pet.com spokesperson and a contributing writer to their website; her writing was also included in the recently published Pet Loss and Human Emotion. She was a frequent guest on the Martha Stewart Show and was a regular guest contributor to The Martha Stewart blog “The Daily Wag”. She has been featured on Animal Planet’s Hurricane Heroes and 20/20 for her animal rescue efforts following hurricane Katrina.

Adopt-a-Pet.com (formerly 1-800-Save-A-Pet.com) is North America's largest non-profit pet adoption website. We help nearly 16,000 animal shelters, humane societies, SPCAs, pet rescue groups, and pet adoption agencies advertise their homeless pets to millions of adopters a month, for free. We also provide useful and informative information on the human/companion animal relationship to help keep pets healthy and permanently in their loving homes. Our blog has articles, and our YouTube channel has useful pet training as well as entertaining videos, all produced by our expert staff of professionals in animal training and behavior, as well as human psychology.

Tip 023: Catproof Your Furniture
 
Because of your cat’s heightened senses, your personal scent is discernable on everything you touch, including your furniture. If you like your sofa, so will she, even when you’re not on it. As far as kitty is concerned, it’s her furniture, too—so here’s how to do a little catproofing and keep it looking nice.
 
TOSS A THROW Draping an inexpensive throw blanket across furniture is a simple way to keep cat hair in one, easily-removable place.
 
ADD SOME CITRUS: Spraying citrusy smells on the corners of your furniture may deter your cat from lounging there. Just be sure that whatever you spray is safe for your cat and your furniture alike.
 
TRY BUMPY MATS: Plastic mats with raised bumps (sold in pet stores) can deter your cat from leaping onto the furniture. She may stay off it even after you’ve removed the mats.
 
GIVE YOUR CAT CHOICES: Give your cat plenty of nice, cushiony spots to sit, ideally elevated and close to windows for his viewing pleasure. The goal is to make better spots available—so he’ll want to spend less time on that boring old sofa. As with any training, reward your cat with verbal accolades, treats, snuggles, and brushing when he’s learned what you expect of him regarding the furniture. This will reinforce his success—and yours.

Just a sales brochure by Purina and Petco
Just a slick way to promote expensive commercial products. Buy a giant cat tree! Purchase a sophisticated toilet for your cat! Get one for each of your kitties! Yes, you could give your cat homemade food, but "virtually all vets recommend premade commercial cat food" ... says the book sponsored by Purina, Petco and Bayer Animal Health. Basically, you just paid $20 for a commercial :-)

    This is a really nice book! I love the silver on the corners of the front and back cover; it really makes the book look nice. The book itself is filled with beautiful photos and the whole way of reading it flows very nicely—I love how each subheading/section is numbered and the book begins by teaching you the basics that you need to know before getting a cat and proceeding from there. I also found the information to be generally good. I love how this book doesn't judge you so harshly for letting your cat be indoor-outdoor, instead recommending indoor but still explaining how to do the outdoor option for those in safer areas for cats to be outdoors. Also, the page about cat allergies was nice—instead of simply saying that someone with allergies should absolutely not own a cat, they acknowledged that it is possible for an allergic person to manage life with a cat. And as for my personal way of judging a cat book's validity—they did recommend wet food over dry food (which is good), but also remained understanding of those who use dry food only. Overall a very good book, and although I know a lot about cats already, I almost feel like it's teaching me some things I didn't realize before. Thank you, AdoptaPet.com, for such a great book!

    I'm still reading it, but it is very informative. I just adopted a 10 year old cat who had been at the SPCA for over a year. She is very shy, but very loving with me. It's been many years since I've had a cat. My dog got sick and died about 2 months ago. I decided I'm not up to caring for another dog, but a cat is more independent and will remain in the house so will be easier for me to care for. I have a lot of questions which this book is answering for me.

    This book is the Cat's Meow (sorry) as far as I'm concerned as a great reference on any topic about cats. I have read quite a few books and magazines and truly I believe this is the best and probably the only one you'll ever need. It shouldn't come as any surprise as who knows the most about cat behavior?? A resource who is behind cat adoptions nationwide. Don't snooze... if you have a question they have the answer.
