How to Argue With a Cat: A Human’s Guide to the Art of Persuasion

How to Argue With a Cat.

In this fun book by New York Times bestselling author Jay Heinrichs, you’ll learn the dark secrets of persuasion from the masters themselves: cats. Our feline friends can talk us into just about anything without a word (although there’s some meowing involved, of course) — but try getting a cat to do what you want. While it’s difficult, persuading a cat is possible. And once you’ve done that, persuading humans is a breeze!

Featuring illustrations by Natalie Palmer-Sutton, this book will teach you how to argue logically (even if your opponent is furry and irrational); make your body do the talking (cats excel at this); learn the wisdom of predator timing to pounce at the right moment; and many other lessons grounded in the science of rhetoric. Published by Rodale Books, an imprint of Crown Publishing Group, a division of Penguin Random House.

My Cat’s Album

My Cat’s Album.

If you’ve just adopted a new cat, this cute scrapbook by Alberto Bertolazzi and featuring art by Ayano Otani will help you document your life with your new companion by providing a place to record your cat’s history and stages of growth. You can customize the cover, which features an image window for your cat’s photo, while die-cut envelopes throughout the book store keepsakes, mementos and more photos.

It’s a great way to remember the beautiful moments of your life together — from your cat’s arrival, favorite games and even the occasional domestic disaster like a newly shredded sofa (oops!). Published by CompanionHouse Books.

Cat Flap.

Have you ever wanted to be a cat? It sounds great — until you actually become one, that is. This enticing and humorous satire written by award-winning journalist Alan S. Cowell explores what our feline friends really feel about their lives indoors.

You’ll meet Dolores Tremayne, who is on an extended business trip abroad — but a part of her remains at home in the family cat. Follow X, the Tremaynes’ cat, as Dolores negotiates a deal with high-powered auto executives hundreds of miles away in Germany, while part of her is tagging along in the brain of her cat — and discovering some disturbing things about her husband.
