About the Book…

We humans are resourceful and intelligent, but our quirks are often incomprehensible to other species. However, after thousands of years of co-habitation, our feline companions know exactly how to deal with us.

InHow to Train Your Human, one wise cat instructs its fellow felines in the elaborate arts of human domestication, including:

  • Guiding us step by step to the pantry
  • Sleeping on top of us in adorable but uncomfortable positions that leave us trapped
  • Strategic nighttime alarms

Through this ingenious and hilarious reversal of perspective, Babas—this book’s human author, and a lifelong cat companion—offers a delightful new look at relationship between cats and people. Translated from the Italian by Katherine Gregor, and accompanied by elegant black-and-white illustrations by Andrea Ferolla, How to Train Your Human is an essential gift for any cat lover.
