From Library Journal
Johnson, a feline behavior consultant, details the causes of and suggests solutions for such common cat problems as aggression, abnormal eating habits, and litter box difficulties. Her approach is to use techniques that work in harmony with cats' natural proclivities and instincts. One section details the use of Bach flower remedies in treating feline emotional problems, although readers interested in other alternative treatments such as herbs and homeopathy may wish to consult Anitra Frazier's The New Natural Cat (LJ 11/15/90). The book is repetitive in parts (the author recommends "play therapy" as treatment for a wide variety of emotional maladies, and the use of an air ionizer is suggested many times), but it does discuss many common behavior problems with more depth than most cat care books, including Johnson's previous cat book, Cat Love (LJ 5/1/90). Not essential, but libraries with large animal care collections may wish to consider.

Don't buy it with 'Cat vs Cat'!
I have a multicat household and one of my kitty has a socialization problem while there is a predator in the house and one that is being continuously picked upon.
I bought two books thinking 'Twisted Whiskers' will help me solve the former while the 'Cat vs. Cat' will help me solve the latter.
It turns out that these two books are almost identical. They have same chapters with some updates on the 'twisted whiskers'.

THIS BOOK IS JUST WHAT WE NEEDED
FOLKS....THIS IS IT. This book is exactly what we needed! Two years ago my husband Larry and I were forced to put down our BELOVED Buffy of 16 years due to numerous health issues and since then we have missed having a cat in our home. As I recently became physically disabled after 45 years of working, we wanted a young cat instead of a kitten because the kittens are always chosen first, leaving the young/older cats without a quiet, clean home. So three weeks ago we adopted Sassy (Siamese - 1 year old) and she is a handful! Imagine our shock when Sassy jumped up on our beautiful furniture and counter tops and our Buffy NEVER did! We needed direction and Pam Johnson-Bennett's book filled the bill. Her philosophies and training methods to break bad habits of an already abused cat have worked wonders. Thank you Pam for a no-nonsense manual to help us bond with Sassy and maybe she too will live another 16 years in our quiet, clean, no children, no other pets home. As homeowners, we would gladly adopt more cats if I could physically get around. But we will see ~ maybe Sassy will have a brother or sister soon. We will be ordering Pam's other books as well.

"Twisted Whiskers" fixes your crazy cat.
I found "Twisted Whiskers" to be very helpful. I originally purchased the book for my son to help with his kitten's behavior issues but, after receiving the book and reading through it I found advice in it that helped with my four cats who are between ages 6 and 17. I found you can teach an old cat new tricks! I would heartily recommend this book to anyone with cat issues.Twisted Whiskers: Solving Your Cat's Behavior Problems
