Review by Library Journal Review

AdventureCats.org cofounder Moss upends stereotypes about cats and "cat people." This book combines stories of feline adventurers with guidance for preparing your own cat for outdoor excitement. Moss begins with leash and clicker training, emphasizing the importance of patience, care, and safety at every step. Concise and snappy writing balances with pictures of notable cats in various settings. Readers meet kitties such as -Ruger, who joins his people on snow-packed trails in Michigan; and Georgie, who travels the world on a sailboat. Not outdoorsy? Cats and their humans don't need to go far to benefit from Moss's advice. Urban and suburban dwellers alike can still get out for walks or stay close to home in their catios (outdoor enclosures for cats). All activities consider best practices for encounters with fellow felines, the environment, and wildlife. VERDICT Moss's website translates well as an excellent training guide for any level of outdoor fun. A preliminary "purr-sonality" quiz helps readers assess whether their cat is ready for a new adventure or content with a window seat.-Meagan Storey, Virginia Beach © Copyright 2017.
