In this how-to guide for cats, Buddy, an older and wiser tabby, shares his knowledge of cat history, owner manipulation, and cat dos and don’ts with a new generation of kittens. Though the narrative isn't plot driven, it's humorous and will appeal to young cat owners. Talbott's watercolors embody silly cat antics, filling the pages with the elder cat's tips and tricks, lively diagrams, and the wonders of being a cat.
