How to Speak Cat: The Essential Primer of Cat Language

Book Description

At last, a Bold New Theory in the annals of human and animal communication -- a pioneering milestone of enormous scientific importance.

How to Speak Cat is the ultimate, comprehensive and authoritative guide to communicating with your cat in your cat's own language. Alexandra Sellers (who has mastered seven human languages) studied the language of Cat for many, many years and ultimately uncovered its secrets. Here, for the first time, this language -- complete with extensive vocabulary and proper grammar -- is revealed.

How to Speak Cat is the perfect primer for the serious beginner. In a short time, a devoted human can learn the basics of Cat -- including proper diction and pronunciation -- and be well on the way to full communication with felines, at the same time respecting them for what they are: a superior species.

What a wonderful approach!!!!!.......2002-08-28

Alexandra Sellers has devoted most of her life to deciphering the mysterious and complicated cat language that - until now - only those mysterious felines have been able to use.

I am heartbroken at a certain review in which one user mentions "200 pages of garbage", "stupid pronunciation guide", and conveys a feeling of cats being animals with no language and a book by a fruitcake who wants money.

This is the wrong approach to this book. I have tested Sellers' theories by giving phrases to my cats. Their ears perk up, they always respond, and I know they understand. If you are a firm believer, as am I, that cats deserve to have their mysterious language recognized, I recommend this book over any.

I got it for X-mas and I hope to become fluent. I guarantee you will find familiar cat phrases in a couple of days. While the idea of a "cat language" seems stupid to some, and the notion that animals can speak may seem outrageous to you, cat lovers know that these creatures have a language not until a few years ago deciphered by the author.

But Sellers, through many, many, many, many, many years of research has found patterns that should not be undermined as "stupid" or "nonsense". If you have faith in human-to-feline communication, you cannot give into this cynicism, bigotry and criticism of a woman's lifetime work. She has written other books on Cat, and has studied 7 major human languages.

So why would we be so much more critical of her than of the Horse Whisperer? She, like he, has worked very hard and very long, not to create 200 pages of garbage, an elaborate joke, but to give what she has learned about Cat to the world.

Bottom line: if you don't give in to the jaded cynicism of people who say cats are stupid and can't talk, please, please, please consider buying How to Speak Cat. You will not be disappointed.

Was this for real?.......2001-09-07

I was introduced to this book while vacationing in London. I saw Sellers on some tv show 'talking' to a cat. Since I have 5 cats in my apartment, I found her claim she had learned Cat very interesting.

Upon embarking on this book, I had to wonder "Is she serious?!?!" Though I enjoyed the fact that there might actually be a Cat language, this book had me in hysterics. Cat lullabys, Cat apologies, Cat lies, a Cat God? Come on!

Sure, I tried it out on each of the cats in my life and each time I was met with a look that said, "What? Have you gone completely crazy?!?!"

ma' RRow.......1999-05-09

Finally! A comprehensive compilation of what we knew all along - that a cat's language is as unique and complex as their "personalities". Kudos to Sellers for breaking the code and allowing us to communicate more effectively with our beloved feline friends. Would have given the book 5 stars, if Sellers had dealt with the section on the subordinate connector more thoroughly. But still a great effort overall.

Review of the U.K. edition published in SOAS Magazine.......1998-07-22

In England an expanded version of this book was published by Bellew Publishing under the title SPOKEN CAT AND RELEVANT FACTORS IN WORLDVIEW. This is a review we published recently.

Anyone who has more than a passing acquaintance with cats will quickly recognise the basic premise of this book -- the ironic counterpoint between, on the one hand, the anthropomorphising tendency to bestow human thoughts and emotions on animals which makes domestic pets such a comfort to those humans whose need for companionship finds fulfilment in a small, manageable and relatively undemanding form, and, on the other, the lurking paranoia which suggests that the balance of power is in fact entirely the other way, that the relationship exists entirely for the convenience of the animal, whose aim is to train the owner in the provision of its wants -- food, shelter, attention, exercise.

To say that Alexandra Sellers adopts the paranoia theory would be an absurdly simplistic view of a bo! ok which has resonances going far beyond the suggestion that, as far as feline pets are concerned, we are not the owners but the owned. SPOKEN CAT follows with rigorous correctness the format of a language primer -- the kind which readers of a certain age will recognise as having accompanied their first stumbling attempts to master French or German. Section one contains nine grammar lessons built around everyday situations, headed by a short narrative for study and accompanied by the requisite vocabulary. Section two concerns tonality -- Cat is primarily a tonal language, with tonal patterns one of the main carriers of meaning. Sections three and four -- supporting the notion that no language can be properly mastered without an understanding of the culture of its native speakers -- deal first with Cat myths and legends, and second, in the essay `Einstein's Cat', with the influence, both overt and covert which cats have had on human civilisation throughout its history. The tex! t is comprehensively footnoted and illustrated with items w! hich show an impressive range of erudition -- perhaps less surprising when one knows that the author's studies at SOAS brought her a First Class degree in Persian (the language, that is) and Religious Studies.

Supporters of the `pet as human companion' theory will see in the book the answer to their prayers -- a book which will allow them to enter into meaningful converse with their adored feline friends. Those who subscribe to the paranoia view will find in it confirmation of their worst fears -- proof, finally, that we are not masters of our destiny, Cats are. Those who can read it with a little more detachment will find far more valuable insights, into the limitations of the academic method, the nature of language, and the very structure of human thought. To reveal more would be to give the game away; suffice it to say that the book is multi-faceted, multi- levelled, and full of the kind of humour which turns one's thinking upside down. Buy it, enjoy it, and recommend it ! to your friends.

A witty, fun look at cats and their foibles........1998-07-10

A delightful book which can be enjoyed on a variety of levels: as a book for cat lovers, poking gentle fun at our beloved felines for their attitudes( which every cat 'owner' will instantly recognize); as a spoof of a scholarly research paper presenting new information, carefully collected and collated and painstakingly reported; or as a grammar book on Cat language - the vocabulary consisting only of words important, of course, to cats, such as 'pretty', 'lonely', 'hungry', 'food', and, most important, 'Higher Being', which all cat lovers will recognize as the obvious and only way to refer to a 'Cat Presence.' A few important things we learn about the cat language - there are no pronouns distinguishing 'you', 'he', 'she', 'it', etc., simply one word for Cat and one for Non-Cat; and there is no possessive word assigning ownership to any other being than a cat, the idea of this being 'offensive' to cats. The book is full of advice for practicing the language on your cat - 'your attitude should be humble', and 'offer tidbits when the cat responds to your attempts to communicate.' My cat-loving family like to pick this book up, find choice bits, and read them aloud for the amusement of guests and family. A great gift book for any cat lover.

The perfect companion for an afternoon of antique shopping, AntiqueSpeak is an accessible lexicon for the &"decorative arts." Because of its alphabetical organization, this book is an ideal reference, boasting clear, concise essays on styles, techniques, and materials. Entries range from brass to Renaissance, from baroque to needlework, and span from Spain's Hispano-Moresque in 1300 to 1930s modernism. More complex entries such as "Georgian," "Regence," and "Victorian" are broken down into "Who, When, Where, What," enabling readers to understand each term in many different contexts.

The more committed antique hunter or student may want to read the book from cover to cover, absorbing the broader scope and considering the relationships between essays. The chronological style chart allows readers to follow the progression of various movements, and a comprehensive bibliography opens the door to further exploration. Kudos to curator Kathryn B. Hiesinger and cohort George Marcus, who have created a marvelous guide to understanding the often opaque language of the decorative arts.

Excellent Reference.......2000-10-18

This is a must have for those wishing to find out more about styles, techniques, and materials. The book is written cearly and those not familiar with art will find it easy to understand.

Anyone taking an art course of some kind will find this book very helpful. Those wishing to workin in a museum with art objects would find this book very helpful too. And finally, people who love antique hunting should use this as a reference.

Great concise introductory guide to antique terms !.......2000-06-12

Found this at the library and it was just what I was looking for. An easy to understand reference for terms used about antiques and collectables. Each topic has Who, When, Where and What information with 3-8 paragraphs explaining the topic - the basics. A great companion for those numerous price guides that list items with terms such as Eastlake, Mission, Regency, etc. If you are just starting to learn antiques and you don't know what these and similar terms mean, this book is for you.

Book Description

Sacred Gardens............2000-12-31

THE ENGLISH FLOWER GARDEN by William Robinson, was first published in 1883 and republished a number of times afterward. The current version available from Amazon is a reprint of the 15th Edition Robinson edited shortly before he died in the 1930s. This new reprint of the 15th Edition contains the "Botanical Revisions" prepared by Graham Stuart Thomas for the 1984 Edition, as well as a Forward by Henry Mitchell, and an introduction by Deborah Nevins.

The book is set in old style type and contains numerous black and white illustrations--etchings of photos and prints of sketches. Some of them are a bit grainy, but many are not, and even the grainy ones have their good points. The content of each photo is quite interesting, and the sketches provide the "personal" touch one seldom sees in text books these days.

In one print, taken at Gravetye Manor over 100 years ago, a climbing tea rose clings to a bamboo split-rail post fence surrounded by bush roses. The sunlight reflects from the walkway and warms the flowers and a huge clay pot sitting in a corner. In another photo, pots of 'Chimney Campanula' guard an old Jacobin chest sitting in a hall at Staunton Court. Sketches and photos are used to illustrate flowers all through the last half of the book--a flower dictionary with anectdotal and literary "blurbs" written by Robinson himself.

Mitchell says Robinson "for all practical purposes invented gardening as we know it." Robinson's garden, 'Gravetye Manor' is a hop, skip and a jump from Sissinghurst, but few know of it's existence. Yet, Robinson is the "grandfather" of Sissinghurst, because Gertrude Jekyll who helped Mrs. Nichols design Sissinghurst, was Robinson's disciple. She literally followed in his footsteps and emulated his style.

Robinson found most of the gardens of his day deplorable (19th Century Victorian). Those of the wealthy were modeled after the French and Italian formal plan, loaded with clipped Yews and bedded out every spring with ribbons of color provided by geraniums and marigolds. The walkways were lined with ornate scupture and surrounded by towering "imprisoned" evergreen shrubs and trees including clipped Yews which he loathed. He said these gardens reminded him of graveyards.

His ideal was the cottage garden. He considered the garden a sacred space. He said one had to visit the houses of the poor to find truly beautiful gardens. Henry Mitchell reflecting on this says, "The thing that separates the true gardener from the mere architect or designer (and there is something extremely suspicious in the airs they give themselves nowadays) is that the gardener stands in awe before his violets, while others think of them in terms of [sic] plant materials."

Robinson's ideas grew out of the Romantic movement of the late 18th and early 19th Century. His designs and thinking were reflected in the Arts and Crafts movement based on the importance of reconnecting to nature. His contemporaries in thinking were Ruskin, Morris, Stickly, Frank Lloyd Wright, and others we identify with this movement. If you're a Stickly, cantilevered, picturesque kind of person, you'll like this book.

Customer Reviews:

Pictures are suspect.......2007-03-05

A lot of the pictures in this book appear to be digitally enhanced. Flower edges are blurred and blooms seem to float uniformly over masses of green. Where is the imagination in that? I can photoshop a garden and copy the same flower over and over too.

A keeper.......2001-02-18

My shelves groan from the weight of gardening books, most of which I never look at twice. But this book is one of the very few which never gathers dust.

First, there are dozens of exquisite photos of different styles of cottage gardens in a variety of locations. Individual plants are identified, as well as pictured within a larger garden context; a welcome change from the many books which provide relatively useless close-up, glamour shots or large landscapes with not a single plant identified. What is truly helpful is to see how the plant will look situated in an actual garden. I know what the flower of Sombreuil looks like: what I 'd like to see is this charming rose actually climbing the front of house. Fortunately, the photos in Pleasures of a Cottage Garden happily oblige.

Secondly, the writing is superb: authoritative, experienced and witty. Whereas many gardening books are either written like seed catalogs or as filler for coffee table photo albums, this book is more like spending a sunny afternoon reminiscing with a wise and witty old gardener. Mr. Rand weaves together a history of cottage gardening, memories of his mother's garden and his own experiences in four different zones, with a wealth of practical information on individual plants, not to mention such important topics as color, light, and fragrance. Not forgotten are the edibles without which a cottage garden would seem only half alive.

Thirdly, in addition to the glorious photos, expert writing, and historical research, this books offers a series of excercises which can help today's cottage gardener to discover what they truly want from their plot of earth, and how to achieve it. Almost a 12-step program for gardeners with creative block. The excercises were surprisingly effective...and delightfully revealing.

Like a cottage garden, this book will catch you unawares with its depth and variety, as it subtly charms you with its humble beauty.

A keeper.

A very enjoyable read. The pictures are lovely and the exercizes for determining your ruling passions for planning your garden are excellent. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves cottage gardens.

This book is a pleasure to read as well as to look at........1999-05-19

There are a lot of beautiful garden books available right now and this is one of them, but with some differences that make it well worth owning or giving. While it is filled with gorgeous color photos of flowers and gardens, it is the writing that makes it special. Rand Lee writes in an intimate, amusing style that feels like a letter from a friend - I was hooked immediately. His "Ruling Passion" exercises are a wonderful way to begin to envision your perfect garden or fine tune an already thriving one. Also of note are his sample collections of plants to create borders with various themes. My favorite chapter though is "Fragrance in the Cottage Garden". It was a delight to find a whole chapter devoted to a garden pleasure which doesn't get enough attention in either the literature or the breeding of new plants. Woven throughout the narrative is lots of information on specific plants and their cultivation. Some gardeners may be put off by the author's non-linear approach, but as with the cottage garden itself, I found that to be one of the book's charms.

A book for passionate gardeners.......1999-03-09

At last, a cottage gardening book for Americans! (Although many of the luscious photos appear to be English.) The most valuable chapter is early on, The Ruling Passion exercise. Please take time out from reading to answer the questions and think about what you really want and need from your garden. You might be surprised by what you discover. I attended a wonderful lecture Rand gave on this topic, which generated more enthusiasm than any talk I can remember. A couple of participants were shocked to discover that what they thought they wanted was, in fact, what their friends or neighbors expected, and not what truly gave them pleasure and satisfaction. The realization was shocking, but also exhilarating and energizing, renewing enthusiasm for the hard work of gardening. This is gardening from the heart and for the soul. It also makes for entertaining reading on a snowy day.

I borrowed this book from the library and would love a copy of it. Reading this book is like sitting with a favourite Aunt discussing gardening. Her descriptions of flowers are at times hilarious and always filled with useful information. She lists a lot of the "old" flowers. The ones to watch for and beg from any gardener who might be willing to part with them.

This charming book of hand-colored papercuts is guaranteed to delight gardeners young and old, active and armchair. It is a delicious garden alphabet, a convention as old as the sixteenth century, but one that seems to lend itself especially well to the advantages of high relief, gaily-colored papercuts.

In this vivid garden, where A is for Arbor and Z is for Zucchini, artist Wisnewski brings her talents to bear not only on flowers, shrubs, herbs, and fruit, but also on the resident fauna: bees and cats, children, dogs, and rabbits. The result is no static florilegium, but a witty and whimsical beehive of various and charming activity.

A page turner.......2007-06-27

While I agree the book would have been even better with more "whole garden" photos, I just couldn't put it down. I've been gardening for a few years here in the Midwest, and I always had the feeling I was "doing it wrong." After reading several gardening books, "Midwest Cottage Gardening" was the first one to provide simple guidelines for gardening success in our crazy climate. Fran (I feel like she's a friend) has given me the know-how and peace of mind to carry on and enjoy the whole wild process of gardening.

One word: Disappointing! .......2007-01-23

On page one, the author asserts that "We've read too many magazines, watched too many gardening TV programs, seen gardening videos, and gone on too many garden walks to have the 'beginner's mind'..." Apparently, "too many books" are why she was totally clueless that variables like soil type and quantity of rain and sun would affect how well a plant would thrive in her yard.

She claims to have been perplexed when perennials hardy to zone 7 kicked the bucket during her zone 5 winters. She was shocked when the plant she bought at the nursery ("No one could tell me a thing about it.") was unhappy in her Chicago yard; it was native to California & Alaska!

There are lots of photos. Most of them are homogeneous photos of things like a clump of Hostas or a field of Black-Eyed Susans. I can see pictures of individual plants in any seed catalog; I want to see what they look like in a cottage garden!

All of the photos seem to have been taken in the author's own yard. There's not a single picture of someone else's garden. There are no descriptions of gardens outside her Chicago suburb, let alone her home state of Illinois. Perhaps the book should have been called "A Midwest Cottage Garden" or "Frances Manos's Garden". That's all that's in here. If you already know the basics of zones and what plants need to survive and you're looking for inspiration and ideas for creating your own cottage garden, I suggest looking elsewhere.

Midwest Cottage Gardens is a beautifully presented softcover coffee-table book featuring full-color photographs and practical instructions for raising an organic garden in the Midwest climate. Author Frances Manos draws upon 20 years of gardening experience, lists some of the most popular garden plants that thrive here in the Midwest, while walking the reader through the basic elements of planting, and more. Midwest Cottage Gardens is a captivating delight simply to page through, as well as a useful resource resurce to work from.

A Great Advice Giver.......2004-12-07

Even though this book is classified as a how-to, it felt like more like a reader to me. It is almost as though Frances Manos was my neighbor, having her impart her garden experience over the fence or a cup of coffee.
This book gives advice on how to create beautiful cottage gardens. You will learn the secrets of using perennials, annuals, fruits and vegetables to make your garden unique and wonderful all at the same time.
Her writing style is easy to read and encouraging, not pushy or boastful. You can feel her enthusiasm for getting others to garden as you read this book. Although this book takes a while for you to get into, you need to read it from the beginning to end so that you don't miss out on anything.

If you like to garden you will love this book.......2004-11-08

I have only recently become interested in gardening and I'm telling you, this book is by far the most interesting and best-written book I have seen. This is not just a book about gardening it is a book about what is important in life. Really, you should check this out for its superb combination of practical gardening advice and wise thoughts about the environment.

This is an essentially British book, filled with charming photos of bungalows surrounded by a riot of annual flowers. These old-fashioned annuals are the rangy, colorful, sweetly scented flowers that evoke nostalgia for a grandma's garden that most of us never knew, but that we can grow ourselves with the help of this book. Everything old is new again: many of the flowers here, like castor oil bean, celosia, and abutilon, have been used for decades in traditional British gardens, and they're the hot new annuals of today. Clive Lane gives detailed instructions, complete with drawings, on growing annuals from seed, explaining techniques like pricking out and stratification. What is most unusual and useful about this book are the lengthy lists of annuals for specific situations or with special characteristics; for instance, annual vines to grow for flowers, annuals for fragrance and cutting, and annuals that give at least three months of bloom. Why choose this book from among the many others on annuals? It makes gardening look like sheer, creative delight, with window boxes packed with colorful annuals, front gardens with such a fluff of annuals that it is hard to find the stepping stones, and theme gardens such as "The Edwardian Hot Bed Border." --Valerie Easton
