About this listen

Penguin presents the audiobook edition of How to Argue with a Cat written and read by Jay Heinrichs.

If you can persuade a cat ... you can persuade anyone. This is the essential guide to getting your way.

Jay Heinrichs, award-winning author of Thank You for Arguing and advisor to the Pentagon, NASA and Fortune 500 companies, distils a lifetime of negotiating and rhetoric to show you how to win over anyone - from colleagues and bosses, to friends and partners at home (and even the most stubborn of feline adversaries).

You'll learn to:

Perfect your timing - learn exactly when to pounce
Get your body language, tone and gesture just right
Think about what your opponent wants - always offer a comfy lap
Lure them in by making them think they have the power

The result? A happy, hopefully scratch-free, resolution.

'Jay Heinrichs knows a thing or two about arguing' The Times

'A master rhetorician and persuasion guru' Salon

'You got a bunch of logical engineers to inject pathos
into their arguments ... it works!' NASA engineer

Seriously, if you don't get cats, you won't get this!
Thanks for the belly laughs, the hints for the cat ramp to success and other resourceful tips that can be learned from our feline friends.
As for mastery, I think I'll need to listen again.
I'm definitely not a cat 😺

Perfect cat tale - swish!

I liked the cat verses human analogy. Very realistic and amusing with great historic references.

This book tried to be cute, but it didn't contain any advice that wasn't superficial or bleedingly obvious.

No substance.
