This cartoon guide offered a lot of really bad advice, like suggesting you greet a cat by putting your face next to the cat's face. If I tried that with my cat, I would consider myself extremely lucky if she didn't take a swipe at me. She seems to find me putting my face close enough to bite her threatening and would much rather have a hand slowly extended for her to smell. The book also suggested that some cats might like water, without adequately stressing that some cats might equally well hate it. Although these flaws might be ok in a book meant for adults, who could recognize how bad some of the ideas are, in a cartoon guide meant for children I think such advice could have unfortunate consequences.

This is a wonderful book for any cat owner. It's ideal for children to learn positive ways of playing with their cat. Large print and easy reading adds to the fun of this book! It gives many ideas of fun things to do with your cat and some tips for better communication. It mentions that trust is very important so we shouldn't do anything to scare the cat, even though it may be fun. Additionally, there are tid-bits of interesting information about cats. It contains instructions for making some cat items instead of spending a lot of money on purchasing them from the store, for example a cat porch by a window and scratching post.
