This book is full of humorous adventures of the author, her husband, and their two cats. Anyone who is a cat lover will be delighted, and feel some sympathy for the stars of this work.

This is a book for people with cats! I'm sure you will laugh out loud at the cats antics and think of how often some of those things happened to you. I thoroughly enjoyed it

Too true, too funny
If you live with a spoiled rotten cat this is a must read. I have lived through most of these scenarios, not the butt wiping. At least not yet!
This morning, Mr. Bennett Snow (cat extraordinaire), was banging the blinds against the window to get me up to fix his breakfast, brush him, then let him out for his morning constitutional. It was much funnier when I read about it last night than when I lived it this A.M.!
If you love cats and have ever served a cat you will laugh till you cry while reading this book.
Thank you Dena for showing us the humorous side of being a servant to a Felix catus.

If you're a cat person, you've got to check out this book. I'm actually a dog person...and yet I laughed out loud when I read parts of this! I've given it as gifts for cat friends who have also raved about it.
Don't miss Harris' second cat humor book, either!

Hilarious
If you have ever been owned by a car, this book is for you. If you have never been owned by a car, this book will explain the perpetually harried look of a cat owned. Too, too funny and oh so true!

Very cute, and easy for a cat owner to identify with. The formatting was kind of screwy, though - page numbers kept showing up in the middle of text.

This Is Hilarious
As a cat owner I fully understand the problems faced in this book. If you've ever been owned by a cat you definitely should read this.
