Napoleon Whiskerbottom is a fourteen-pound tuxedo cat with a four-thousand-year-old grudge, a cracked antique collar that bends time, and a nine-point plan to reclaim the worship his kind lost when Ancient Egypt fell. All he needs is a reluctant human assistant with opposable thumbs.
Enter Ben Coyle: failed history PhD, part-time barista, full-time disappointment to his mother — until a Vermont thunderstorm and one very demanding cat drag him across thirty-two centuries of history he was never trained to survive.
Together they'll flour-bomb the Medici court, dodge an actual coup d'état, get shot at in a Prohibition-era speakeasy, and accidentally help win a world war — all while one very persistent time-traveling corgi tries to stop them before they break history for good.
The Nine Lives of Napoleon Whiskerbottom is a whimsical, laugh-out-loud time-travel comedy with real heart underneath the chaos — about grief dressed up as ambition, the difference between being worshipped and being loved, and what "world domination" actually looks like once you get everything you thought you wanted.
Perfect for readers who love:
• Witty, cozy-adjacent fantasy adventure
• Found-family stories with real emotional stakes
• Animal companions with way too much attitude
• History that bites back
One cat. Nine lives. Thirty-two centuries. Zero thumbs.
