Dogs and Cats from the Scientists' Point of View

Dogs and cats have lived next to humans for thousands of years. During this time, they became not just our helper animals, but real pets and family members. But despite such a close relationship and a long history of communication, sometimes it is difficult for us to decipher their behavior. Why, for example, do dogs wag their tails? What does the "beaten dog" look really mean? What do cats purr about and why are they so picky about food?

In the book, you will find answers to these and other questions. With the help of experiments, scientists and veterinarians are trying to explain the mysterious connections by which we are connected with cats and dogs. But it does not always work out... Even science is powerless in some matters, so we just have to accept everything as it is and enjoy the neighborhood of these amazing creatures.
