Opis

The author has written a series of more than 90 humorous one and two page stories and essays based on his lifetime of being around cats. Most of the stories are about two of his cats, Krysla and Josey. Any cat owner can relate these stories to episodes of cat behavior in their own lives. The book works on the ability of the author to give the reader moment after moment of humorous cat and human interaction that reflects what happens in their own household, such as - Something so mundane as holding a door open for a cat to get out becomes a battle of wits. Why does an animal that's known for stealth be so willing to make the "crinkly" noise made by paws walking on paper and plastic bags? How he dealt with Krysla's catnip addiction. Is purring just a sign of affection, or does it have a deeper meaning that allows mother cats and kittens to keep track of each other without giving their presence away to predators? When a cat "pawdles" you, is she being affectionate or sizing you up as a potential meal? What's more Zen than a cat laying in a sunbeam? Why your cat doesn't make a good alarm clock (no snooze button for one thing). The various ways that cats express their territoriality; from peeing in your shoes, to hiding your girlfriend's underwear in their litter box, to rubbing up against you to mark you as theirs. Why your tabby isn't just a miniature version of a tiger.
