This comical study of cat behavior looks at the many remarkable qualities of feline nature. Staples of the animal's evolutionary oddities such as the inexplicable fear of the vacuum, the inability to sit without wandering in circles first, the impromptu sneak attack, and a cat's instinctive desire to prevent humans from accomplishing work at a desk are all covered here in hilarious detail.

Have you ever owned a cat. Do you miss that cat? I miss having cats but my allergies just won't let me have them. Good thing Jeffrey Brown loves cats too. This graphic novel looks at cats and the little things they do. They are funny little stories strung together to make this novel. Brown's art on this graphic novel is the best I've seen it. He is able to make the cats have their own personalities and show their many moods. This book is a must for anyone who loves cats. I know I love t

Another cat book? Yes! The front and back covers are filled with embedded panels illustrating some typical moments of cat weirdness. It has such a great texture and feel, as if you could pet the cats if you wanted to. [ahem, not that I tried or anything.] The heavy pages and scattered pops of color were a nice touch too.
I'm so happy I stumbled upon Jeffrey Brown's cat-related comics. These books really helped me appreciate my crazy-ass cat's quirks. We started off with a strained rel More...

Cats ARE weird, anyone who has a cat will tell you this. They sometimes run about for no reason chasing nothing, they squeeze into the strangest of places and go to sleep there, they meow for food and then walk away without touching it once they've received it.
Well, Jeffrey Brown has noticed these things too and has decided to make a 100+ pages book on the subject. It's mostly silent and alternates between colour and black and white pages, and it all looks very pretty, printed on good More...

I really liked this book, for it's oft wordless humor and observations on everyday life of pet ownership. I've read a lot of his other autobiographical books over a long summer with limited access to reading material, and didn't care for them at all. I'm glad I could find something by him that I liked.

This book (and his other cat book) pulled me out of an existential sinkhole. Thank you, Jeffrey Brown. (You will probably only like this book if you love cats. And if you do, you will probably embarrass yourself by going "AWWWWW" while reading it.)

Cute little graphic novel about the strange things cats do. Not as funny as "Cat Getting Out of the Bag and Other Observations." The layout is a bit jarring because it keeps switching from full color pages to black and white pages.

This book is adorable. If you like cats you will like this book. If you like cats but don't like this book you are dumb. If you don't like cats, well, that doesn't make you dumb. But you might still like this book.

Cute stories that capture the cute and strange things that cats do to their owners and each other. I especially like the author's rendition of what I call "Big Eyes", when cats start stalking things.

I think I might have been expecting something other than just cats, but it was just cats. And then it just made me feel like my own cats have been dreadfully unoriginal. But in a good way.

I read this book with my sweetheart on a BART trip one day. We giggled for the entire trip thanks to this book. It's very funny and if you've ever had cats you'll understand it completely.

Funny and recognisable, although it would have been even more fun if the cartoons contained actual jokes instead of just observations. A must for every cat owner though.

Love Jeffrey Brown. Love cats. Love this book. It's not so much a "story" as a series of funny cat vignettes. If you have non-comic reading cat lovers in your life (like, say, my mother in law) even they will like this book.

A book of mostly wordless comic strips about cats. True-to-life, hilarious, and sweet. Recommended for cat owners and cat lovers.

If you have cats, you MUST read this book!! My fave is how he draws the kitties' eyes when they're freaked out by something!

Written with an adult audience in mind, but a nice choice for kids, too. Brown really knows cats.

Not sure if this really counts for my 50 books in a year thing, because it's all pictures, but it was very cute.

Similar to his first cat book, except more focus on having a multicat household.
