“If you are even thinking about getting a
cat, this book is a good all-around guide. It is also a helpful reference
tool for long -time cat owners. ”
Animal Wellness, December 2001
“The title of this book seem to indicate a
training manual, but author Annie Bruce offers more. It is a comprehensive
guide to living in peace and happiness with your feline friend.
Bruce has built her book on the ABCs of cat behavior -
"Annie's Basic Cat Secret" And her secret is this: "Cats
are like people." She believes, for example, that both cats and
humans need to be healthy and strong in order to deal with stress.
Bruce advises on adoption, safety, behavior, playing,
grooming, aging, training and health. In a clear and easy-to-understand
way, she deals with controversial and emotional issues such as declawing
and saying farewell.
Bruce's affection for cats is readily evident in both her
compassionate suggestions and her concern for a cat's emotional
well-being. Cat Be Good is for those people who not only love their
cats, but also see them as friends to be respected and understood."
Cat Fancy, February 2001
“This easy-to-read, basic and sensible book
will delight any cat owner, whether you are about to get your very first
cat or you already have a multi-cat household.”
"This is simply a
wonderful book, and should be required reading for everyone who lives with
a cat. It is indeed full of common sense, and there’s a lot more in it
than just training. It covers absolutely everything you need to know to
live responsibly as well as happily ever after with your feline pals."
ASPCA’s Animal Watch, Summer 2000, “Summer Reads”
Betsy Siino & Marion
S. Lane
True or false: Cats cannot be trained. False!
proclaims author Annie Bruce, who makes her case with her own experiences
as a professional cat consultant. Making a case, as well, against
declawing, Bruce successfully dispels in this fun, easy read some of the
most common myths of the cat world.
The Whole Cat Journal, Amy
Hubbard, May 2000
"Cat Be Good is a great guide
or gift for anyone who is thinking about sharing life with a feline
friend."
The Animals' Agenda
“An enlightened, common-sense guide for
living with cats."
Cats magazine, Sally Rosenthal, March 2000, "Sally
Recommends"
"Has your little feline angel
picked up some devilish behavior? Has Tabby declared war on your drapes and
carpet or forsaken the litter box? Fear not. Cats can be good, as Annie
Bruce counsels beleaguered cat owners in her new feline behavior guide, Cat
Be Good. In this basic training book for cats and their humans, Bruce gives
readers the scoop on all things feline–adoption, diet, wellness, safety,
behavior, etc."
Pet Business, October 2000
“Practical advice on cat
behavior."
Denver's Rocky Mountain News, Rebecca Jones, December 4, 1999
“If you've got a hairball problem, Annie
Bruce has the solution. Ditto
for those disconcerting litter-box issues and sofa shredding incidents.”

"Cat Be Good: A
Commonsense Approach to Training Your Cat is an easy to read, basic
and sensible book for any cat owner: whether you are about to get your
very first cat or you already have a multi-cat household...
Cat
Be Good touches on practical matters such as litter and diet, as well as
controversial (declawing) and emotional (saying goodbye) topics. All
through the book the author writes in a straightforward, easy to
understand manner that actually makes a “how to” book pleasant to
read...
Bruce
has terrific insight into the mind and heart of a cat. I heartily
recommend visiting her website (www.goodcatswearblack.com) and purchasing
her book.
From the first sentence dealing with bringing that kitten home and the
last chapter on how to say goodbye, the book had this veteran cat
owner’s full attention and approval."
The Book Reader, Spring/Summer 2000
"The sort of volume you pour over time
after time, finding new things, new smiles.
. .A very wonderful book, erudite, understanding and deeply perceptive.
What Annie doesn't know about cats would not fill a thimble. Annie writes
like some people love -- glitteringly, warmly, and with just that sense of
fulfillment that makes everything come alive."
