A wonderfully absurd cult humour book from the 1990s, The Kama Sutra for Cats imagines what cats are really doing when they insist on sharing the bed.

Written in mock-serious academic style and paired with charming illustrations, the book presents a faux “ancient manual” of feline romantic positions and bedroom behaviour. Equal parts parody, cat obsession, and affectionate satire, it became a quirky international bestseller and remains one of the classic novelty cat books of the era.

Burton Silver’s dry humour and Margaret Woodhouse’s illustrations give the book its distinctive tone — playful, strange, and oddly elegant.
