The Cat Manifesto

About the Book

Thoreau, a most unusual cat with a penchant for cake, dead poets, and a curiosity towards human nature, turns introspective as his ninth and final life comes to a close. Although he considers humans to be strange and often disagreeable in nature, he must concede that there is something endearing about them, even as he struggles to understand their exceedingly curious natures. The Cat Manifesto is the story of Thoreau and the humans he called family and friends. In it, he reminisces about his exciting adventures and the unforgettable people (some famous) with whom he has crossed paths with. Inspired by the legacies left by some of his human companions, he aspires to do the same. This book is his own legacy, a parting gift to mankind before his next and greatest adventure. This is his story. But mostly, this book is what he learned about himself, a proud and independent creature who is like humans in more ways than he could have ever guessed, even in his wildest imaginings.
