"How to Talk to Your Cat About Gun Safety: And Abstinence, Drugs, Satanism, and Other Dangers That Threaten Their Nine Lives" is a satirical parody book by Zachary Auburn, published in 2016.
Book Overview
The book humorously imagines teaching cats about gun safety, abstinence, drugs, Satanism, evolution, and internet dangers through a Q&A format from the fictional "American Association of Patriots." It originated from zines that sold over 35,000 copies and blends whimsy with right-wing parody concerns.
