Manga: Katana Sajima Author: Paul Gallico

What's Wrong with Being Crafty?

One day, an editor received a mysterious manuscript mixed with characters and symbols, resembling a code. When Paul Gallico was consulted for deciphering, it turned out to be, astonishingly, a "Human Domination Manual" written by and for cats!
How to sneak into a comfy home? How to train the owner for favorable plays and food? How to capture human hearts and live a good life?
Cats are extremely intelligent, manipulating humans with cunning tactics that tap into the essence of humanity. They calmly analyze the weaknesses and follies of humans. Once their intelligence is known, humans inevitably find themselves under the dominion of cats.
