At last the cat flap is opened to reveal the secret literary life of our feline companions! Did you know that the bible does not mention cats at all? Do you know why we say the cat has been put among the pigeons? Why do we think they have nine lives? How much of our great literature refers to cats - and what do authors say? These are questions that every cat owner has pondered at one time or another. At last, all the cat references in our language have been gathered in one place to provide an informative, fun and comprehensive resource for the cat fan - from owners to aficionados. With everything from the most common to the most obscure mention of the noble beast, this is the last word on every word about the feline species - it's the cat's whiskers.

Through touching and emotive anecdotes, internationally-acclaimed author and dog trainer Jan Fennell shares with us the successes, set-backs and secrets that will strike a chord with dog lovers everywhere. In an age of selfishness and misunderstanding, the virtues of duty, loyalty and sacrifice have become symbols of a bygone age. Perhaps this is one of the more subtle reasons why we are drawn to our dogs - creatures for whom all these positive attributes are purely instinctive. In this series of inspirational stories, drawn from her vast wealth of experience with both dogs and their owners, Jan Fennell recounts some of the greatest acts of kindness, heroism, loyalty and compassion that she has ever witnessed. And in recounting these inspirational tales, Jan demonstrates, with heart-rending sensitivity, the qualities that distinguish a good owner from a truly great one. This touching, poignant book complements Jan's practical series of ... more

The working dogs of New Zealand certainly deserve our respect. Generations of careful breeding have
produced the traits of stock-handling skill, loyalty, hardiness and courage that are now inherent in their
bloodlines.
This book has been written to assist those who use working dogs to handle livestock and provides a practical,
step-by-step guide to training them the natural way. Sound training will ensure that a dog’s potential can be realised and that both handler and dog will enjoy a rewarding relationship during stock work.

This book is an essential handbook for anyone working with these wonderful animals.

‘Make these early lessons fun for your dog and it will soon be very willing to answer your call to scamper over the backs of the sheep..'

Paperback
Author: Doris Lessing
Published by: Harper Collins
In Stock: 2
A collection of Doris Lessing's charming and celebrated writings about cats. Doris Lessing's love affair with cats began at a young age, when she became intrigued with the semi-feral creatures on the African farm where she grew up. Her fascination remained undiminished by the handsome domesticated creatures who shared her flats and her life in London and grew into real love with El Magnifico, the awkwardly lovable cat who in his later years suffered the great indignity of becoming a three-legged beast. Consisting of Doris Lessing's celebrated collection of stories, 'Particularly Cats and Rufus', and the poignant though unsentimental memoir, 'The Old Age of El Magnifico', this book is a brilliant evocation of feline existence. Also includes Rufus the Survivor.

First published 1967 & 1989; this omnibus edition 2000.

DoP - October 2008, Auckland
180x128mm / 176pp
Full colour throughout
Home of more than 40 million sheep (over 10 per person), New Zealand is a major global exporter of sheep products: annual wool exports alone are worth well over $800m. Added to that, there is a rapidly growing interest from small businesses and lifestylers in specialist breeds and yarns. Sheep are also a major drawcard for overseas visitors. All of which popular demand adds up to good reason for publishing a Pocket Guide to Sheep Breeds of New Zealand, along with its companion volume, the Pocket Guide to Cattle Breeds of New Zealand. Originally published in large format several years ago by Reed, both books have been brought thoroughly up to date, with new pictures throughout and extended and updated text.

The Character of Cats order quantity

NZ$ 29.95 each
Paperback
Author: Stephen Budiansky
Published by: Orion Publishing Co
In Stock: 2
The first scientific look at the world of cats: why they do what they do, why they are what they are and how they got to be that way in the first place.
Unlike every other domestic animal, the cat evolved as a solitary animal, not a group-dweller. A cat in a household is almost literally a fish out of water. That cats can nonetheless get along with people and (sometimes) other cats when forced to, is testimony to a remarkable adaptability. But it also makes for an extraordinary range of behaviours.

Cats have for years been the subjects of intensive research in the fields of developmental psychology, learning, emotions, brain chemistry, and perception. The Character of Cats is the first popular book to bring this new knowledge to bear on the behaviour and nature of cats. Budiansky enables us to see that many of the things that puzzle and at times baffle or even infuriate cat owners have a rational - though often very surprising - ... more

Author: Martin Clunes
Published by: Hodder Paperback
In Stock: 1
Martin Clunes is happy to admit that with Mary, it was love at first sight; her soft, brown eyes, her perfect figure and that unstoppable wagging tail. As cocker spaniels go, she was perfect. Mary was soon joined in the Clunes' household by Tina, another cocker, and Arthur, a black Labrador. Reminiscent of MARLEY & ME, the dynamics between the three dogs makes hilarious reading: puppy classes, Scrufts, the competition for top dog status (and even Martin has to fight for this), which leads to visits from a dog psychologist. His passion for dogs inspired Martin to embark on a journey of discovery about their ancestors, both wild - the painted dogs of Tanzania - and extremely tame - the members of the Beverley Hills Mutt Club. With his trademark warmth and humour, Martin describes meeting a worldwide cast of doggie characters, and how humans have shaped the dog world as we know it today. One thing is certain: he will never see Mary, Tina ... more

Paperback
Author: Trudy Nicholson
Published by: Random House New Zealand Ltd

This book is about the journey the puppy makes from the security of his mother to being adopted by us. For many canines this is not always an easy road; the cute puppy grows into a dog, too often ending up with behavioural problems that might have easily been avoided. By using a psychological approach this journey could be made an easier one for the canine. By learning to recognise and understand the basic instincts, language and behaviour of the dog, and his life in the pack (that of the wolf his ancestor) which is his natural setting, and by adapting and relating these factors to our own human and dog pack we can share in an harmonious relationship with our canine friends. This is neither a training manual nor a breeds book. Rather, it is about understanding the importance and kinder and 'natural way' of the dog and basic pack interaction and instincts. Through stunning photographs and explanatory text we are able to see the world ... more

Author: Vicki Myron
Published by: Hodder Paperback

On the coldest morning of the year, Vicki Myron found a tiny, bedraggled kitten almost frozen to death in the night drop box of the library where she worked. Her life and the town of Spencer, Iowa would never be the same.
Vicki was a single mother who had survived the loss of her family farm and an alcoholic, abusive husband. But her biggest challenge as the new head librarian in Spencer was to raise the spirits of a small, out-of-the-way town mired deep in the farm crisis of the 1980s.
Dewey, as the townspeople named the kitten, quickly grew into a strutting, adorable library cat whose antics kept patrons in stitches, and whose sixth sense about those in need created hundreds of deep and loving friendships. As his fame grew, people drove hundreds of miles to meet Dewey, and people all over the world fell in love with him. Through it all, Dewey remained a loyal companion, a beacon of hope not just for Vicki, but for the entire town ... more

The behaviour of a Siamese cat is never predictable, as all owners well know. The calm of the Tovey household is once again torn to shreds when Doreen's cat Seeley instantly loathes the new arrival, Shebalu, and she - all five inches of her - loathes him back. And then, even worse, they become firm friends, and team up to create havoc. The characters of "Cats in the Belfry" return with a vengeance: Father Adams, Miss Wellington and Annabel the donkey. But Seeley and Shebalu steal the show with their loveable mischief, and their antics will bring tears of laughter.
