How it Works: The Cat
What really goes on inside a cat's mind? Hazeley and Morris's brilliantly funny and pitch-perfect parody of vintage Ladybird instructional books offers the answer: cats are inscrutable, absurd, and utterly in control of every situation—especially yours.
Part affectionate homage to the beloved Ladybird guides of childhood, part wickedly accurate observation of feline behaviour, How it Works: The Cat dissects the mysterious workings of the cat with deadpan humour. The diagrams, the earnest tone, the perfectly-pitched writing—all evoke the calm certainty of those classic guides, while delivering comedy that will have anyone who has ever owned a cat laughing in recognition. This is the instruction manual cats should come with.
At just 56 pages in a charming hardback format, this is the perfect pocket-sized gift. It's a book to give to anyone who loves cats and appreciates clever British humour—which is to say, it's a book for everyone at Literary Cat Books.
Perfect for cat lovers with a sense of humour, those nostalgic for Ladybird books, and anyone who has ever wondered if their cat is plotting something.
