Lesson 4 · The Cat

She has no appointments. She has a point.

She isn’t angry. She’s simply not impressed. Not by your calendar, not by your group chat, and definitely not by the question of what you do for a living. Across twenty chapters she tells you what she’s always known: no is a complete sentence, sleep beats drama, and if you avoid eye contact, you don’t technically exist in the room.

Lesson 41Claim the right to absolute solitude as your most fundamental trait.
Lesson 60A warm sunspot cures any mental upset in less than five minutes.
Lesson 90Celebrate professional doing nothing as your most brilliant personal superpower.
Lesson 5 · FAQ

Go ahead and ask. The cat won't answer. We will.

What is Cat Memos?

A series of illustrated gift books. Each book holds 100 lessons from a very unimpressed cat on one part of life - inner peace, the holidays, the office, love, travel, parenting, housework, fitness, growing older. One line and one large watercolour drawing per lesson.

Is this a self-help book with exercises?

No. No exercises, no journaling prompts, no breathing instructions. You read one line, you look at the cat, you turn the page. Half an hour and you’re through - or you leave it on the coffee table where guests can see it.

Who is it for?

For anyone who wants to be left alone, and for anyone who’s been told to “just relax” one time too many. As a gift for cat lovers and cat moms, for coworkers, your best friend, Secret Santa, stocking stuffers, birthdays - and for yourself.

What is the format?

6 × 9 inches, 130 pages, white paper, black-and-white interior. Available as paperback and hardcover, printed by Amazon.

Is the inside in color?

No, on purpose. The illustrations are ink drawings with soft gray washes - that’s what gives the book its calm tone and keeps the price under $15.

The cat doesn’t recommend buying this book. The cat recommends nothing. But she stays.
