What an incredible book! I learned about it when I was finally forced to consult with a Cat Behavior Consultant, after ruling out medical issues with my cat's Vet. My cat Sophie is a 6 year old Bengal cat. She was never very active (unusual in a Bengal), and I always felt like she just wanted to be "left alone" - truly a bummer, since her twin brother is completely opposite - he is playful, healthy, and very communicative. So... I decided to add a third cat, thinking then my boy would have a playmate... and that's when things went downhill fast. Sophie quickly began having outside of the box "accidents." She was diagnosed with FLUTD which is a maddening condition that causes recurring bladder infections that are not easy to treat - I understand that often, it is caused by stress. So the inappropriate elimination, most times, was not due to a bladder infection (treatable with Antibiotics) but actually due to her stress in adding a 3rd cat, and her overall lack of stimulation and contentment. I learned from Marilyn's book how to get her ENGAGED with me, which has ultimately led to near eradication of "accidents." It has become a fun activity that we do together daily. What is interesting is to see how excited my other cats are about this too - my "new" cat is a year old and he has progressed lightyears beyond the others (he's not set in his ways, I guess) :-) But I can say without reservation, this book is an essential tool for building a stronger bond with your cats, and for correcting behaviors like door darting and counter surfing (two BIG problems I had, with the new cat!). I saw Marilyn on Cats 101 demonstrating the technique, and I didn't really "get it" at first - I thought it was neat but I really didn't understand how it all worked. "Naughty No More!
