- Your Guide To Being Owned By A Cat - 

Your House, Their Rules is a comprehensive guide to cat care and related topics. With lighthearted satire, Christopher Mancuso bends his knee to cat royalty while revealing secrets of the Celestial Meow, an ancient religion behind their quirky and often misunderstood behaviors. Each chapter delivers educational and enlightening information, as well as tips and techniques for all stages of cat care. Whether you are an experienced cat owner or only considering a life of Felion Subjugation, Your House, Their Rules is chock full of valuable information, wrapped in a warm blanket of humor and relatability. 

Mancuso goes way beyond the basics, with sections dedicated to special needs cats, abused cats, bottle-kittens, and so much more. A longtime advocate of foster care and adoption, he dispels common concerns and unpacks many topics related to shelter cats and the process of helping them find castles to rule. He also shares over a dozen personal stories from his experience fostering hundreds of cats and kittens in his home, now affectionately known as Hotel Mancuso. From earning the trust of Mr. Bitey the abused cat, to finding a perfect home for Chloe the blind kitten, these tales provide a firsthand look into the joys and challenges of loving all sorts of cats. It’s obvious that Your House, Their Rules is Christopher’s love letter to cats and it will make any reader fall in love with our feline friends as well.
