Ask HN: Best books for understanding and training a cat
I like cats, and I'd like to understand mine better. I want to know how much a cat understands, how it thinks, and what it can be trained to do. I want to read evidence-supported discussion of common advice like not playing with your cat with your hands, feeding wet/dry/both foods, pack behavior, and so on.
