Cats are wonderful companions, but when they misbehave it can be challenging, if not outright difficult, to successfully treat the behavior problem in order to restore feline harmony to the home once again. In Cats on the Counter Dr. Larry Lachman uses his unique approaches, borrowed from human therapy, to analyze what makes kitty tick, and what happens when his behavior gets out of control. Using a case-by-case format, behaviorist Lachman and journalist Frank Mickadeit deal with common problems such as clawing furniture, refusing to use the litterbox or spray marking in the house, fussy eating, and fighting with other cats. Cats on the Counter is filled with fascinating stories, excellent advice, and empathy for both misbehaving pets and their long-suffering people. Other topics include: The Freudian Feline and Family Therapy: cat personality and structural family systems therapy The Jekyll & Hyde Kitty: cat aggression Kitty Prozac: preserving your cat's mental health Ailurophobia: the fear of cats and how to treat it Kidproofing your Cat: teaching your children how to care for your cat Lassie Meets Morris/Morris Meets Simba: introducing dogs to cats and cats to cats The Final Feline Moment: pet loss, grief and how to say goodbye "Holy Cats Batman!": Kitty ESP, catnip treats, and afterthoughts

In the same warm, straightforward style that attracts devoted listeners to her radio shows, Tracie tackles controversial topics such as the truth about commercial dry pet foods and their dangers, bringing readers the latest facts on every topic that affects a feline?s well-being.
