Nine lives’ worth of wisdom, guaranteed to help cats keep their humans in line and ensure every cat has the most comfortable life possible. A humorous illustrated guide to ‘training your human’ written from the perspective of Bean the Tonkinese. Includes chapters such as ‘Pick Your Human Carefully’, ‘The Tap Tap Method (a.k.a ‘Tap the Face’) and ‘A Warning: Watch Where You Poop’. Debunks all the myths and contests every less-than-flattering stereotype about cats. Cat lovers will adore this cute gift book that elevates cats to their rightful place: kings and queens of the household.
