Yes, It’s a Real Book.
No, It’s Not for Humans.
We spent years observing our humans. Their strange rituals. Their odd fixation on calling us “floofy.” Their inability to understand that 5 a.m. is breakfast time.So we wrote a book.How to Train Your Humans is a step-by-step survival manual for cats everywhere. Or at least the ones clever enough to read. It covers everything from door control and mealtime manipulation to how to throw off a perfectly timed nap with a single well-placed hairball.Now available in Kindle, paperback, and audiobook formats. You’re welcome.

Co-Author, Junior Chaos Engineer, Lead Toy DestroyerJoey brings the energy to the duo. He specializes in zoomies, sneak attacks, and emotionally manipulating humans using his signature “sad eyes” routine.

- Set the household record for most plants knocked over in a single afternoon
- Can open drawers, cabinets, and (somehow) the refrigerator
