How to Be Super Annoying and Cute: The Evolution of Cats in More Than 150 Cartoons

What makes a cat a cat?
 
They meow and nuzzle, purr and pounce, and somehow squeeze into impossibly small spaces. But they’ve also claimed our beds, laptops, and laps as their own territory—and they’re not shy to let us know when they’re not getting what they want.  

In How to Be Super Annoying and Cute, New Yorker cartoonist Amy Hwang imagines a universe in which our feline companions evolve to act like humans . . . or, as they prefer to think of us, their staff. From hunting mice and napping on sofas to juggling 9-to-5 jobs and grocery shopping (for catnip, naturally), Hwang’s cartoons capture the essence of what it means to be a cat—and what happens when that definition expands. 

With wit and humor, this collection of more than 150 original cartoons, along with a foreword from New Yorker cartoon editor Emma Allen, is a must-have for all cat lovers, proving once and for all that our feline friends are always the cat’s meow.
