Cat-echisms: Fundamentals of Feline Faith

By Ellis Weiner, Barbara Davilman and Susan Burnstine

Everyone knows cats think they're so special.

But how can they explain why to mere humans?

Where do cats get their sense of superiority? How do they manipulate us so easily? Cat-echisms answers these eternal feline questions in an easy question-and-answer form. The result? A privileged peek inside the feline brain. In the process, cat owners--and even those who admire cats from afar--are entertained as well as enlightened. Fully illustrated with delightful photos of haughty (and gorgeous) cats, Cat-echisms collects the fundamental tenets of feline existence as if in a handbook to be given to all kitties at birth. Thus, for example, we read:

Q: Who is the most perfect creature in the household?

A: I am the most perfect creature in the household.

Q: Why are you the most perfect creature in the household?

A: I am the most perfect creature in the household because I am beautiful and exquisite and move in divine silence.
