A book that will delight every cat lover, full of wise and unforgettable life lessons, each paired with the perfect photo.

Cats are the ultimate savants, possessing intelligence, poise, and sass in equal measure. They know when to play it cool, and when to pounce; when to fly solo, and when to cuddle up. Entertaining, unpredictable, and just a bit wild, cats encourage us to explore, take chances, and live on the edgeβ€”just as if we too had nine lives.

Cynthia L. Copeland, author of the bestselling Really Important Stuff My Dog Has Taught Me and Really Important Stuff My Kids Have Taught Me, now turns her attention to our mysterious feline friends. Every page of this full-colour gift book is a joyful reminder of what’s important in life.

Like Confidence: β€œInsist on a seat at the table.” Curiosity: β€œHave more questions than answers.” Adventure: β€œSometimes you have to leap before you look.” Individuality: β€œYou’ll be remembered for what sets you apart.” Kindness: β€œRecognize the power of your purr.” And Solitude: β€œFind your own square of sunshine.”
