No More Scaredy Cat: The easy, step-by-step program that puts an end to stress, fear and anxiety for the cats you love (Mini Kitty Books Book 1)

“Goldenthal understands cats, and she knows how to work with them. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is dealing with a fearful cat.”
– The Conscious Cat

"Sara I very much enjoyed your book and have been using it with the shy Siamese I have rescued. Progress is slow but steady. I have been using your formula and have placed it on his treats and toys and water. For the first several weeks he just hissed from under the bed and I never saw him. I have worked up to playing with a feather on a stick, making eye contact and blinks and now he is not running away when I enter the room.

I have gotten him to sniff and gently bite my fingers but have not yet rubbed him. I am not reaching out for him but sometimes brush my hand by him when he is "heads down" playing or eating a treat. At 5am this morning I awoke to a presence standing on me - it was Sidney and he was looking at me and then began jumping at my toes and fingers under the covers. I am so excited that he has first made contact himself!"

Do you have a cat that struggles with fear? A cat that hides under the bed and won't come out? A cat that startles easily? Worse, do you have a cat that lashes out and attacks anyone who comes near? Or do you work in a shelter and are surrounded every day with cats that are terrified and overwhelmed? No More Scaredy Cat is the easy, step-by-step program that puts an end to stress, fear and anxiety for the cats you love.

Using a combination of cutting edge alternative therapies and compassionate love for animals, renowned cat behaviorist Sara Goldenthal (author of Tucker the Spirit Cat), gives you a simple method that anyone can use to break down and gradually eliminate fear and terror in adopted, rescue and shelter cats.

Cats that are shy and timid can become much more confident. Cats that were previously unapproachable can be petted, and often enough, picked up and held. Even feral and semi-feral cats can begin to overcome their fear of people and enjoy a much higher quality of life.

One key to this program is the careful use of a product called Rescue Remedy. Rescue Remedy is one of the Bach Flower Essences - simple, powerful remedies available right now to cat owners and guardians. Rescue Remedy is not a drug.

It is now understood that animals have individual personalities and emotions, just like people. As a result, although Rescue Remedy was created for humans, it is also used to good effect by animal shelters, pet guardians, veterinarians, groomers, and breeders alike. Rescue Remedy, along with patience, love and the right approach, can help alleviate sleep problems, grief, fear, trauma, depression, anxiety, panic, and a host of other ills our beloved animal companions might face.

All cats want love, and to be able to feel relaxed, calm and peaceful. Let No More Scaredy Cat show you how you can help the frightened cats in your life enjoy increased feelings of well-being, happiness, and closeness to you.

About the author:

Sara Goldenthal is a trained practitioner of both TTouch and the Bach Flower Essences for animals. She has more than a dozen years experience as a cat behaviorist, and has worked with hundreds of cats in private homes, as well as in animal shelters and rescues.

“Sara’s work with the cats at the HART shelter has been, in a word, phenomenal. Using her patient, gentle manner and techniques, she has made a big difference in the behavior of many of our “shy” shelter cats, and 10 have been adopted already! These cats would otherwise have been overlooked by potential adopters, in favor of the more outgoing cats. These cats have been given the gift of adoption and a life in a loving, secure home.”
