There are so many wonderful animals living in shelters, ready to give unconditional love to someone willing to share his or her home, but many will never have that opportunity. Buttercup was one of the lucky ones. Rescued from a shelter by a caring couple, she went on to spend the bulk of her life with one very fortunate human, providing invaluable companionship while developing a bond that was arguably stronger than that in most human relationships.
Buttercup is the true story of a simple but beautiful house cat. It is an account of her loving nature, her unique quirks, her confidence, her intelligence, and the unbelievable things she did during her life: from helping raise two adolescent cats that weren't her kittens, to protecting the house from intruders (four- and six-legged), to reminding her human that sometimes he simply needed to stop and pet the cat. In short, it is the story of all of the great things that made Buttercup uniquely Buttercup.

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?' America - 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!

Against a background of Hong Kong's bustling dried goods trade, dusty shelves groaning with traditional products, the beloved cats either stand out as shop mascots or magically melt away behind boxes and jars.
