The Silent Meow (m e o w) is fantastic and I very strongly recommend it to
anyone who likes cats at all and wants a good laugh. Though it was written
in the 1960s and is a bit dated, it's still relevant.
For anyone's info, it is a manual written by a mother cat, for kittens and
stray cats on how to take over a household.

Hello,
Books written from the Cat's Perspective are usually pretty insightful.
I like the Silent Miaow (that may be a little off) but it was an unusual
spelling) by Paul Galico.
I actually read it twice on tape with the volume up.
I wanted my husband to learn more about cats. I did this when we were
newlyweds because I already had cats.
