It's the 1.6-million-copy bestseller that skips the jargon and psychobabble, and instead features straight-talking, down-to-earth, clear-cut advice-that of writer and cartoonist Suzy Becker's cat.

"Know all the sunny places."

"Flaunt your hair loss."

"Get mad when you're stepped on."

"Take some time to eat the flowers."

"Be tolerant-but not overly accommodating."

"Make your own hours."

"Scratch when it itches."

"Depend on others without losing your independence."

"Avoid company you do not like."

Altogether, here are over 90 simple life lessons, irresistibly illustrated in full-color. Proving what all cat fanciers suspect about their own pets, Suzy Becker's cat is a fount of wisdom. The book covers everything from grooming, health, and diet to being completely well-adjusted, and imparts perhaps the most valuable piece of advice a cat could give: "There is always time for a nap."
