How to Talk to Your Cat about Gun Safety keeps a straight face from the first page to the last, which is exactly where the joke lives.

The conceit is a public safety pamphlet from a patriotic association that does not exist, advising you on the conversations your cat is apparently overdue.

Good to know

The satire aims at a particular kind of moral panic literature, and Zachary Auburn does not soften it. Readers on both sides of a political line have reported being needled by it, which is the point.

Who it's for

It has become a standing gift book, and it wins white elephant exchanges more often than most things in this category.

From the publisher

The cats of America are under siege Long gone are the good old days when a cat's biggest worries were mean dogs or a bath. Modern cats must confront satanists, online predators, the possibility of needing to survive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and countless other threats to their nine lives.

For over four decades, the American Association of Patriots have stood at the vanguard of our country's defense by helping to prepare our nation's cat owners for the difficult conversations they dread having with their pets.

Written in a simple Q&A format, How to Talk to Your Cat About Gun Safety answers crucial questions such as, "What is the right age to talk to my cat about the proper use of firearms?" and "What are the benefits of my cat living a lifestyle of abstinence?" and especially "Why does my cat need to use the internet?

Can't he just play with yarn like cats used to do?" Our country--and our cats--stand at a precipice.

It will take courage, and it will take hard work, but armed with the knowledge within these pages, we can make our cats--and America--great again
