If you don't know Danish but you could still guess that the book has something to do with cats, you are right. The title can be translated to "The cat's guide to happiness" although I'm not 100% sure if the original title reads the same (mind you, I haven't got the time to check).
This book gives instruction how cats (assuming you - the readers - are cats) can achieve the eternal happiness and live their lives in a more exciting way rather than being a bored house pet who does nothing but sleeping all day.
The book is hilarious, for a start, because it makes sense - not that I think cats can read, of course, but if they could - they would nod in agreement with me on this one. The book also contains "useful" warning for cats, such as how dangerous human kids and cars can be to cats. The cats should avoid children at all costs because they like to mess with cats, they don't own the house and they certainly don't have the "authorization" to feed the cats - so human children are "useless".
The book is definitely entertaining for a cat's owner and people who love cats. Unfortunately, this book is rather old and isn't printed anymore here, at least not in Denmark so it's rather difficult to find. But do check your nearest library if they have a copy!
