    About this ebook

    PREPARE TO BE WORSHIPPED...

    If you've ever envied your cat's effortless grace, slinky walk and power to command a room, this is the book for you.


    Rosie Blythe (author of forthcoming self-help manual The Princess Guide to Life) reveals how being a Princess is a lot like being a cat; it's all about quiet determination, intoxicating eye contact, and enjoying each moment as it comes.


    Feisty moggies have long been noted for their independence, mysteriousness and self-possessed  cool. By following their poised and purry example, we Princesses will discover:


    • The importance of rejecting anything which doesn't meet our high standards (contemptuous sniff optional)
    • How a little mischief can liven up your workplace
    • The art of dealing with failure (an inevitable side effect of making bold leaps of faith)
    • Why trusting your instincts is essential
    • The secrets of kittenish flirting


    Attitude is everything, and channelling your inner feline is a sneaky shortcut to feeling more confident, chic and sensuous.


    So follow the red laser light of your dreams, relish every mealtime and allow the wisdom of our fluffy overlords to inspire you to a life of curiosity, playfulness and magic.


    And if anyone tries to feed you drugs, give them hell.


    The Princess Guide to Being a Cat is part of the official Princess Guide to Life series, aimed at smart, sassy and stylish women (and fabulous men).

      For Bluebell, the naughtiest cat

      Being in such close proximity to an animal so in touch with his own magnificence  felt like something of a gift in itself.    Tom Cox, ‘Under the Paw’

      Introduction

      The regal art of being a Princess becomes much simpler when you realise that many of the skills involved are similar to the natural lifestyle of the cat. Admittedly, felines spend very little time writing thank-you notes, throwing sophisticated dinner parties or calculating a budget for shoes. However, they do have to deal with annoying people, go out on a limb to reach their goals, and use winsome charm to get what they want.

      I’ve long been intrigued by those workshops that super-hip people do on weekends to become more enlightened. You know, the kind where everyone sits in a circle and you all introduce yourselves politely before launching into the business of the day: anger management, past life regression, channelling your inner mermaid etc. So if I were to run one of
