Cats Rule: The Bookstore Cat's Guide to the Care & Training of Humans

In Neal Bowers’ whimsical Cats Rule: The Bookstore Cat’s Guide to the Care and Training of Humans, Eliot the Cat—with all the wisdom acquired wandering the shelves of his bookstore home—addresses those cats considering the adoption of humans. As he leads fellow felines through the steps required not only to understand that strange species of homo sapiens but also to learn to cohabitate, he reveals the challenging foibles and quirks that all cats must understand. From common misconceptions—according to Eliot, we’re not so much self-centered as lonely, living as we do “at the top of the food chain”—to our strange work, eating, and even sexual and spiritual habits, Eliot leaves nothing to the feline imagination. As for his human readers, he reminds us that there is a cat out there just waiting to adopt us.
