📘 Book Summary
This document was not approved by Human Resources. Human Resources doesn't know it exists. Let's keep it that way.
For decades, the Feline Workplace Observation Committee has had agents embedded in every corner of the modern workplace. Offices, warehouses, IT basements, home divisions. Their findings have been collected, catalogued, and classified at Level Green: general distribution among feline personnel only. Declassification was accidental.
You're holding the result.
A taxonomy of meetings, including the species nobody admits exists. The Corporate Jargon Decoder. Six manager archetypes with handling instructions. Open office survival protocols, kitchen-law jurisprudence, an IT department field guide, the official FWOC Threat Level Chart (laminate recommended), and an ongoing investigation into a stolen yogurt that has never been resolved and never will be.
Written in the deadpan institutional voice of cats who have watched humans schedule meetings about meetings, ignore emails, argue about thermostats, and keep showing up anyway.
A representative sample, from the entry on Alignment: "Cats do not seek alignment. We seek the sunny spot. If you happen to be in it, we will sit on you. That is as aligned as we get."
For anyone who suspects, correctly, that the cat in their office knows things they don't.
Perfect as a gift for the coworker who's been talking about quitting since 2019, the manager who needs a polite warning, or yourself.
✨ Vibes & Keywords
Genre: Contemporary Fiction (Gift Idea)
Age Suggestion: Young Adult, Adult
Tropes: Fast-Paced, Talking Cat, Space Opera, Found Family, Novella, Lighthearted, Humorous
Trigger / CW: None
A parody corporate handbook, written by the cats who have been observing your workplace for decades. Meetings, jargon, managers, and the unresolved matter of the stolen yogurt.
Workplace burnout is addressed directly in one section and played straight rather than for laughs. Otherwise clean throughout. No romance, no spice.
Spice Warning: N/A

📚 About the Author
Kysa Steele is an IT professional by day, and by night an author, TTRPG GM, cat servant, and wife (though the order depends on which cat is asking). She grew up devouring books and plotting to write her own. While newly minted as an indie author, she's been telling elaborate, occasionally cursed stories at the TTRPG table for years.
🌙 A Little Magic in Every Parcel
Every order from Imaginary Adventures is wrapped in our cozy‑magical packaging, complete with themed bookmarks, stickers, and other shop extras. We love making each book feel like a small adventure when it arrives.
