We live on a planet infested with humans. They are a pernicious species, yet undeniably clever and capable—even if the reasons behind their actions are often incomprehensible to us felines. But while it is true that there have never been so many primates on Earth, in reality, they are quite simple to teach using well-practiced domestication techniques, such as loud vocalizations and strategic nighttime alarms. And if you have the good fortune to be able to tame your specimen when it is in its youth, you can end up with the best, most faithful companion you could possibly wish for. Andrea Ferolla’s elegant illustrations make this book a feast of fancies for the eyes. Translated from the Italian by Katherine Gregor.
