Kitten Taming

I have just received an email from Amazon promoting a book called "Kitten Taming". I just don't get it, sorry. If we adopt or even buy a kitten we should expect this animal to behave like a kitten and we should expect and look forward to an adult cat to also behave like an adult cat. Isn't that why we adopted a kitten in the first place?

A well socialized and healthy kitten (balanced personality for a domestic cat) will use the litter naturally. All the other stuff such as tearing around the home and leaving scratch marks is all part of having a kitten. Why else have one? If any training is required it should be directed at us. To train us to start accepting companion cats as companion cats.
