The book explores the historical relationship between cats and humans, tracing their presence back to the advent of agriculture and the storage of grain. It highlights the significance of cats in ancient Egypt, where they were revered and idolized, particularly due to their role in controlling pests. The narrative connects this reverence to a broader context, referencing Joseph's interpretation of Pharaoh's dream and the establishment of silos, showcasing how cats became integral to human society as civilization evolved.

This guide, based on first-hand, day-by-day survival of over three decades in Israel, will help you to first understand, then gradually accept, and eventually almost conform to the Israeli mentality, which in turn will enable you to first look like, then gradually behave like, and eventually almost become a real Israeli. With tongue firmly in cheek, the author takes some affectionate, punning jabs at his adoptive homeland's language, people, lifestyle, and land.
