Summary:

Ever wondered what your cat might be thinking? Jamie Shelman is here to help you learn their lingo with over 100 classic cat thoughts explained.

Our feline masters have many ways of keeping us in line, from a paw in the face to tearing up our favourite Persian rug, from the unwanted appearance of gifts to the passive-aggressive pouf of the tail, and it’s up to us to work out what each purr, pout and scratch stands for.

This clever little book features over 100 original witty illustrations and explains the most common feline behaviours, to help you unlock the cat code in no time at all. Ignore, and you’ll feel the force of the claw …

The ultimate gift for any human owned by a cat.
