"Unlock the secret code of cats for a deeper connection with the feline in your life.
Why does my cat always sleep on my keyboard? How can I stop them bullying the dog? Why will they only drink from the bathroom tap? Do they even like me?
If you've ever wondered, as they sit on your head at 4am, what's going on behind your cat's inscrutable gaze, this audiobook has the answers. Drawing on animal behaviour, psychology and the latest research, it reveals what's really behind the amusing, endearing, or downright weird things cats do.
Cats may not telegraph their emotions (unlike the dogs they look down on!) but they do show their feelings, often quite subtly. This audiobook helps you to interpret your cat's body language and behaviours, so you'll know when they're confident and contented, and when they're telling you that something's not right.
Advanced Catwatching features put the spotlight on key behaviours such as sofa-scratching, while Survival Guides offer top tips for managing challenges such as moving house, or introducing a new cat into the family.
What's My Cat Thinking? will deepen your understanding of your cat and strengthen the unique connection between you. So when they give you that 4am wake-up call, at least you'll know why.

"Bloomsbury presents Why Didn’t You Just Do What You Were Told? by Jenny Diski, read by Charlotte Randle and Chloe Diski.
A tonic for the soul ... I was so absorbed by her writing it was unreal' Emilia Clarke
‘Nothing about Jenny Diski is conventional. Diski does not do linear, or normal, or boring ... highly intelligent, furiously funny’ Sunday Times
‘She expanded notions about what nonfiction, as an art form, could do and could be’ New Yorker
Jenny Diski was a fearless writer, for whom no subject was too difficult, even her own cancer diagnosis. Her columns in the London Review of Books – selected here by her editor and friend Mary-Kay Wilmers, on subjects as various as death, motherhood, sexual politics and the joys of solitude – have been described as ‘virtuoso performances’, and ‘small masterpieces’.
From Highgate Cemetery to the interior of a psychiatric hospital, from Tottenham Court Road to the icebergs of Antarctica, Why Didn’t You Just Do What You Were Told? is a collective interrogation of the universal experience from a very particular psyche: original, opinionated – and mordantly funny.

"Living the unexamined life may not be the most successful way to proceed through this world. It certainly hasn't wordked for thirty year old Arthur Loveday, who has failed to impress both his employers and the woman he has fallen in love with. An industrial psychologist, attempting to assess him for future employment, says he can never succeed at anything until he has worked out who he really is. From that point on, Arthur finds himself persistently chivvied by Fate into a spiritual quest to find his true Self. But who or what is the ultimate guide on this quest? The works of the famous psychiatrist Carl Jung, pressed on him by a very erudite Indian gentleman? The ex-voodoo priestess turned esoteric psychologist, who has both an MSc and a stone altar in the basement? Or is it really the small orphan kitten that Arthur finds abandoned in a pet shop window?"
"Julian Rhind-Tutt stars as Travis, the ‘other man’ in love with a married woman, in this six-part romantic comedy
Travis meets Grace, the woman of his dreams. But she has one fatal flaw – a husband. And Travis and Grace aren’t the only people with complicated love lives – there’s also Travis's brother Charlie, Charlie's ex-girlfriend Alice and Travis's not-so-secret admirer Serena.
As Travis and Grace try to get their illicit affair underway, events seem to be conspiring against them and their plans are continually thwarted. When they are nearly caught out twice, Travis begins to wonder if he’s really cut out for infidelity – especially when he meets the other ‘other man’ in Grace’s life: her son. Meanwhile, the Serena/Charlie/Alice love knot shows no signs of untangling – so Alice decides to take matters into her own hands.
Events finally come to a head for all the star-crossed lovers with a date, a declaration, some poetry and a proposal...
