Default Cat Behavior Book Recommendations?

Have any of you read any really good books on cat behavior?

I'm semi-new to cats (I've only been owned by them for 5 years) and am trying to learn as much as I can about cat behavior so I can better understand my cats. I've started a bit of a "cat library" but don't really have any books solely about their behavior. I'm looking for something informative, that is easy to read and understand, and that is a good go to reference book.

Do any of you have any recommendations?

Cat vs. Cat and Think Like a Cat, both by Pam Johnson-Bennett. Great books.

You can start on the intertubes. Maybe here if I'm allowed to post this. I don't know if they have a forum.

I second the Pam J-B books recommended by Marie. Both are excellent. Another good one about behavior in multi-cat households is "Cat Wrangling Made Easy" by Dusty Rainbolt.
