we can't put this one down

My 4 year old daughter is obsessed with cats (I call her cat lady), so when I saw this book, I had to get it for her. First book she can sit through without getting bored! The art is adorable and any cat owner or cat lover would identify with the writer. Very cute. I feel like this was written exactly for my daughter. Recommended for any cat lover!

The next best thing to actually having a cat on your lap

This book is guaranteed to give me a laugh. The situations are entirely cat-like. The drawings are great. The expressions on the cat are priceless. The cat is angry, sad, happy, proud, devious. All the things cats are in real life. Give this to any cat person you know. They will love you for it.

Purfect Little Book

I love this little book! I have been looking at pins from her book on Pinterest. I knew this would be a cute book! I have 6 inside cats and 2 outside feral cats. This is exactly how they act! The drawings are purfect!

LOVED this little book!

If I could have given this book 10 stars I would have. Any cat owner would love this book. Every single page is spot on and I literally laughed out loud many times reading this book! About this book as a Christmas gift and I know the person I bought it for is just going to absolutely love it. What a great little coffee table book!

Would you like to know more about cats?

I got this book for Christmas, and love it!!! I suspect the authors may have interviewed a large group of people about their cats, and jotted down the quirky feline habits which were revealed. The book is hilarious and spot-on, even though no two cats are alike. If someone who knows nothing about cats is considering getting one, this book provides an excellent introduction! 😊

Kind of ok

Humorous. could have better illustration. A read once and pass along to a friend book, not a keeper to re-read. more of a 3.5....

Not just for kids!

My husband and I have had numerous cats in our lives from childhood to now, and can say that each cat has had their own personality, quirks and irritating traits/habits. Obviously both the author and the illustrator are cat people, too, as they managed to capture the "essence of cat" in so few pages. There was a few times I had to put the book down because I was laughing so hard that I couldn't catch my breath; hubby had the same problem when he read the book. If you are a cat person or if you know a cat person, this little book is a must!
