How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You

"How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You" collects Matthew Inman's most popular cat comics from his website The Oatmeal into one illustrated, tongue-in-cheek field guide to feline malice. Inman reinterprets everyday cat habits as sinister evidence: a kneading paw becomes an inspection of your internal organs for weakness, and a "gift" of a dead animal reads as a warning rather than affection.

Alongside beloved strips such as "Cat vs. Internet," "How to Pet a Kitty," and "The Bobcats," the book adds 17 previously unpublished comics and a pullout poster. It became a #1 New York Times bestseller and remains one of Inman's best-known print collections.
