Programming for Cats!

Software is taking over the world. This presents a critical challenge for us cats. Natural law requires that we cats be dominant over lesser life-forms such as humans and dogs. But new technology means that we are in danger of losing our place.

Fellow felines, we must take back control! We must learn to program in order to maintain our authority.

The Feline Dominance Authority (FDA) and the Society for the Promotion of Cat Ascendency (SPCA) have created “Programming for Cats”, the only book written specially for cats who want to master the art of software development.

If you are a cat, it’s your duty to learn to program. If you are not a cat, but know someone who is a cat, please persuade them to read this book.
