Cute kitty themed spoof of the Dear Abby advice column.
I love this book and have read it many times over the years. (Takes less than an hour.) It's clever, funny, and sometimes poignant. If you're a cat lover, try to find a copy of this.
This was a last re-read before I gave it to a cat-loving young friend.

The story goes is that the author overheard a mother cat instructing her kittens about life, and this book is a collection of those instructions, plus sketches of a black cat (my own?) following them.

I learned that my mom and her cat are not unique and "chasing a pingpong ball around the tub" is in fact one of the "three best late-night activities."
Some advice most cats adhere to, others I wish mine would adhere to. Many us humans ought to follow. This is a book for everyone!… (mere)
