  excerpt from How My Cat Made Me a Better Man (Feig)- Epilogue Face the Cat in the Mirror Hopefully, reading this book helped you become a better man or at least spurred on some self-examination. If nothing else, I hope you learned two things: a. guys can read self-help books; and b. cats know how to live a good life. When I first adopted Shelly, I just thought we'd have fun together. I had no idea she'd teach me how to be the best man I could be. I learned never to give up, to manage my control issues, to be more caring, and to make an effort to be happy. I also learned to look underfoot when I was walking since Shelly would get upset when I stepped on her.   This book was all about my experiences with a cat. If you want to learn more, why not adopt one yourself? Not only do cats make great companions, they can also draw out the best in you. Are you lazy? Get an active cat to keep you moving. Are you shy? Get a cat that wears a leash and strangers will rush to talk to you

  From  How My Cat Made Me a Better Man : I was alone in the world and didn't see a way to lift myself up into a better situation. ... [W]here could I go to get my life on track? The answer was staring at me all along. Literally staring at me, while I used the bathroom. It was my cat, Shelly. She couldn't say anything beyond the occasional meow, but it was clear she had all the answers. She didn't mind being broke, being alone, or living in a tiny space. She was content. In fact, she thrived.  Take-away: Cats have answers. See more posts on this book .

  Excerpt from How My Cat Made Me a Better Man Make the Most of What You've Got Cats strut around like they own the place. Even the homeliest kittens are born with the unalterable knowledge that they are da bomb . It doesn't matter if they have a goofy overbite, are missing an ear, or have a skinny tail that looks like an extension cord. Whatever they look like, they own it. Ideally, it should be the same for you. Most guys aren't blessed with the eyes of Ryan Gosling or the body of Channing Tatum. You've got to work with what you've got. So, look at your face, your body, and your hair and figure out how to make it work. Overweight? You'll probably want to avoid wearing spandex. Going bald? Cut your hair uber-close to the scalp. Missing one of your front teeth? Get a diamond-studded grill, or learn to smile with your mouth closed. Whatever your situation is, you have options to tailor your appearance based on what you've got to work with. You can create your

  Confidence Dogs will perform silly little tricks to earn affection from their masters. Cats will never stoop to that level. So, while my childhood cocker spaniel would happily present his paw for me, Shelly would roll her eyes at what an idiot I was for even asking for it. We're not all born with an innate sense of confidence and self-worth. So, think like a cat, and don't do things that are beneath you. You're better than that. Just because someone tells you to dance doesn't mean you should bust out the Macarena.   There's no reason to kiss up to your boss, praising his genius for every pointless idea he suggests. Unless you're a ninja at brown-nosing, it'll be obvious what you're doing. It won't make you look good, either. You'll just seem like someone who lacks the confidence to say what he really believes. Think in the same terms for your relationships. If your girlfriend blames you for something that went wrong, that doesn't me

  A Few Licks Go a Long Way  Cat Tale: It was starting to get dark on a Saturday night. As Shelly sat nearby licking herself, I was preparing to go out and hit the bars. I wanted to spend as little time as possible to get ready. The way I looked at it, if it took more than ten minutes to make myself presentable, I was doing it wrong. I put on my favorite collared shirt, hoping no one would notice the detergent stain on the back or the hole near the armpit. I dragged a brush through my hair a single time. I slipped on my pre-tied, 4-year-old sneakers, the ones with the bottoms of the soles coming off. That’s right, I was stylin’. As I headed for the door, I noticed that Shelly was still in the same spot, still licking herself. She hadn’t stopped grooming the entire time. She didn’t even have plans that night. Either she cared too much about personal appearances or I didn’t care enough. I looked in the mirror. The problem was me.  Cat Lesson: Grooming is important. You do
