Animals, particularly pet animals, provide both companionship and comfort, however, Ann Walker believes they do more than that. She suggests they are in fact 'our teachers' and that once we rid ourselves of the concept of humans being superior to animals, this will become clear.
She recommends listening rather than talking to animals, picking up their signals to know how they are really feeling.
Exploring further the concepts first introduced by Ann in her successful book 'Talk With The Animals', Your Talking Pet will appeal to those who'd like to understand and communicate better with their pets.

Ann explores the role of the cat through history, from being worshipped in Ancient Egypt to being cruelly treated and hated in Medieval Europe. The book includes tales of cats who returned to their owners after death, both in spirit and reincarnated form. Stating that "The Ancient Celts believed that the eyes of a cat were windows through which humans could explore the inner world", we are given an extract from a grimoire giving guidance on how to attune yourself to your cat. Believing in the healing power of cats and our ability to think/talk with them, Ann shares many stories of the cats she has known and loved over the years. A fascinating and enthralling book for cat lovers everywhere.

This is the story of the six donkeys from The Northern Territory who travelled across Australia to the North West Coast of Tasmania in the winter of 1969 to form the basis of the now famous Keysoe Donkey Stud. This enchanting little book will go straight to the heart of anyone who has ever loved or tamed a wild donkey.

Talk with the animals - something we can all do!

Now you can communicate better with your animals. All you need is a love and understanding of them as individuals and personalities in their own right, and a willingness to listen, watch and learn.

Ann Walker shares with us a lifetime of experiences and shows how the rewards of 'getting through' to animals can be worthwhile - even spectacular. Her own affinity with donkeys, ponies, mules, cats, dogs and sheep has had some surprising results at times!

This book explains why animals are valuable companions for young and old, for the sick and disabled, and as partners for the blind.

You cannot know too much about your cat, for ownership of an animal involves a definite responsibility which cannot be fulfilled properly, under all circumstances, without a full understanding of the problems. This book is addressed both to those who are buying a cat for the first time and to those who have owned cats, but feel they want to know more about these animals.

Begins with an investigation of the merits and demerits of pedigree and mongrel cats and continues with comprehensive discussions on how to handle a new kitten, what it should be fed and how it can be quickly and effectively house-trained.

The author devotes the conclusion of her book to stray cats, the cat as hunter, companion and performer and a concise and amusing history of the cat through the ages, not forgetting the larger members of the cat family.
