Author, speaker, and master persuader Jay Heinrichs has delivered the long-awaited tome that teaches how to persuade humans and cats—the world’s most skeptical and cautious negotiators—with this FUN primer on rhetoric and argument.
From the New York Times bestselling author of Thank You for Arguing comes HOW TO ARGUE WITH A CAT: A Human’s Guide to the Art of Persuasion.
Jay’s previous book, THANK YOU FOR ARGUING: What Aristotle, Lincoln, and Homer Simpson Can Teach Us About the Art of Persuasion has been published in twelve languages and three editions. The leading modern work on rhetoric, it is one of the top ten books assigned at Harvard. Heinrichs is one of today’s most popular online language mavens, and his books are warm, witty, erudite, and truly enlightening.
Cats are skilled manipulators who can talk you into just about anything without a single word (or maybe a meow or two). They can get you to drop whatever you’re doing and play with them. They can make you serve their dinner way ahead of schedule. They can get you to sit down right this instant and provide a lap. On the other hand, try getting a cat to do what you want…
While it’s hard, persuading a cat is possible. And after that, persuading humans becomes a breeze, and that is what you will learn in this book. How to Argue with a Cat will teach you how to:
- Hold an intelligent conversation—one of the few things easier to do with a cat than a human.
- Argue logically, even if your opponent is furry and irrational.
- Hack up a fallacy (the hairball of logic).
- Make your body do the talking (cats are very good at this).
- Master decorum: the art of fitting in with cats, venture capitalists, or humans.
- Learn the wisdom of predator timing to pounce at the right moment.
- Get someone to do something or stop doing it.
- Earn any creature’s respect and loyalty.
We spoke with both the author and publisher and they were delighted to offer us 5 copies of HOW TO ARGUE WITH A CAT: A Human’s Guide to the Art of Persuasion for five lucky Purrington Post readers to WIN!

My cat’s name is Buddy and I need to read this book because I would love to win an argument with Buddy about me getting enough sleep. I got him from a shelter when he was a kitten, and I was doing my medical residency. As residents do, I got up most days before the crack of dawn to get to the hospital. Buddy would also start his day when I did. However, even though my residency ended years ago, I still can’t convince Buddy that I’m not a peon in training and I don’t have to get up that early.
Yup. I got Pasha when i still worked morning shifts as a teacher. I got him to not weake me up on weekends.

We have compromised that he has to sit and shake paws (when I ask him “how do you do?”) prior to food or treats, but I don’t regard this as much of a victory for humankind!

My cat’s name is Cooper and I need to read this book because I would love to win an argument with Copper about why it is OK for him to constantly lay on-top (literally) of his brother Lauer, until Lauer moves from his napping spot and he plants his furry butt down. I wouldn’t have so much of an issue to this if they were just trying to claim the same spot, but in true older brother fashion, it doesn’t matter where Lauer is . . . THAT just happens to be the spot Cooper feels entitled to at the moment. Not to mention the “how dare you speak before you’re spoken to” look he shoots me whenever I say something to him about it. It is true, dogs have masters, cats have servants. 🙂 Wouldn’t have it any other way!

Plus, it is not Bistro’s fault that we are only fed twice a day, in measured amounts.

I have two cats, one named Abbey. She is a senior black cat, which she knows is far superior than most other kitties. The other is Timber, a Persian. This books looks TOO CUTE as well as informative. I need to read this to win the ever popular argument about “why do you have to run to the carpeted living room to throw up a fur ball, instead of staying in the kitchen? And why do you need me to open three different foods before you decide that none of them meets approval only to come back 5 minutes later and determine the first one given is yummy! These are Abbey issues. Have you ever tried to win an argument with a determined black senior kitty? Not easy. Thanks and allowing the chance to win this.
My cat’s name is Dakota and I need to read this book because I would love to win an argument with Dakota about (a) why she thrashes her tail while sitting next to me and purring–mixed signals? (b) pumping my leg with open claws, which I argue is NOT bonding with me (c) whether or not meowing piteously for the short trip from counter to food bowl on the floor speeds up the trip or (d) screeching from the living room as I pull into the garage after a week’s absence is either inappropriate behavior unappreciated by the neighbors in my condo or a testimony to her great feeling for me or sense of abandonment!
My cat’s name is Rachella and I need to read this book because I would love to win an argument with her about why she ought to show me more affection. She was one of a litter of 5 kittens that I had to choose from after my beloved Macushla passed away from a stroke last September. I chose her from the litter. She’s a beautiful calico kitty. She must not have been handled much during her 10 weeks of life because once I got her home she never wanted to be cuddled and loved on. She will be a year old this Sunday (July 1) and I’ve had to reconcile myself to never having her affection. I have two other kitties who are very affectionate but I so long to hold Rachella on my lap and have her cuddle and purr.

The younger 2 kitties are partially feral and clim walls, drapes and obviously get bored, again while I’m trying to sleep (I even tried ear plugs). Please help our mixed family (Kitties & Mommy).

My cat’s name is Jack and I need to read this book because I would love to win an argument with Jack about why the flea medicine is good for him and how I’m not a monster for applying it. Telling him I do it out of love doesn’t work. Neither does telling him, “the community cats that hanging around our house don’t make any fuss when it’s their turn,” is also not effective. My techniques are inadequate in the face of his superior cat reasoning.

Jinga, I love you dearly, but my patience is long gone and you gotta stop this for your own good. Thankful that kitty Prozac seems to be working now!

I babysit people’s cats for a living. So I don’t have just one cat to argue with, I have hundreds!! Bella wants her wet food microwaved for 7 seconds only. Freddy insists on going out on the lanai as soon as I put my purse down. Shasta needs at least 10 minutes, minimum, of TLC when I first arrive. Smokey, my cat, sits at the front door and meows when it’s time for his walk. He has to go out and spray “his” yard where all the neighborhood cats came by. So I could definitely use this book to win some arguments. So far I’ve been using reasoning and logic, neither of which work on a cat!!

My cats name are Cleo and Nick. I have a disabled husband in a wheelchair and Nick feels the need to meander down the hallway when I am trying to put my husband in bed. Even though I try patiently to get him to walk faster it is quite a job. It is an electric chair and I have to make sure I don’t run him over. Cleo on the other hand waits until hubby is in bed and then demands over and over and over again that she needs a treat. I am sure that she is threatening to call Animal Control and tell them I am abusing her, but she can’t reach the phone — thank goodness. Winning any arguments with Nick or Cleo would make me very, very happy and I need to read this book because I would love to win an argument with Nick and Cleo about walking so slowly down the hall to delay my husband going to bed or Cleo demanding a treat immediately when I get in the bedroom.

All of these other entrants do not understand what it is like to be tortured by perfectly behaved cats! Chanel awakens me before the alarm sounds so that the ringer gadget does not get overused thus extending the lifetime of the clock.

(He does not stoop so low as to hunt them down for the very same reason) I strongly enforce that if he tries to do this one more time I will .. I never get to finish the sentence since he obediently complies! When the chowder of cats in this house take over my bed, I announce. “My sympathies gang. I will not toss you off the bed since I love sleeping in the shape of a pretzel.” When Velkie starts to lick out of the coffee cup, she insists upon sharing it with me. Portia steals food from my plate because she knows I need to lose weight. Juliet dutifully lies on my black evening wear so that I do have a fur coat to wear on my date.
