A Taoist Framework for Everyday Cat Care

Deborah Wood frames cat behavior and training through Taoist ideas such as balance, gentleness, and wu wei, or action through nonaction. The book applies its no-force, no-punishment approach to common household concerns, including litter-box refusal, aggression, furniture clawing, and urine spraying. Alongside problem-solving guidance, it includes interactive games intended to provide mental and physical stimulation, plus sections on massage, diet, and the book’s ideas about qi and human-animal communication. The emphasis is on building a harmonious companionship while recognizing the cat’s mix of independence, sociability, rest, and activity.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Cat owners seeking non-punitive approaches to behavior concerns
  • Readers interested in Taoist perspectives on relationships with animals
  • Households looking for cat games and care practices alongside training guidance

Book overview

Use the gentle principles of Taoism to forge a profound and joyful relationship with your cat.

The epitome of yin-yang, the cat is perfectly balanced between tame and wild, sociability and solitude, action and rest. Called inscrutable and mysterious, perhaps even recalcitrant, felines have been deemed difficult to understand and train. Not anymore. Using the kind, gentle principles of Taoism, veteran trainer Deborah Wood introduces her revolutionary "no force, no punishment" method of creating a loving, harmonious relationship with your cat . . . a companionship filled with unparalleled rewards and unconditional love. Discover:

Step-by-step remedies for difficult problems: refusal to use the litter box, aggression, clawing furniture, and spraying urine
Cat massage and other techniques to increase the flow of qi and create telepathic communication between human and animal
Interactive human-cat games to give the cat essential mental and physical stimulation
The practice of wu wei, action through nonaction, to enrich your relationship
Taoist diet needs, a path to understanding a cat's finicky eating, and the best foods for glowing health
