The World Is Your Litter Box: A How-to Manual for Cats
While people will buy this book because it’s so darn cute, smart cats know that it’s chock full of must-know information to make their lives even more pleasant than it already is. That’s because Quasi—a white-furred Tom who’s 18 punchin’ pounds of fabulous feline—reveals special secrets to his fellow couch clawers: how to look irresistibly cute, successfully get food anytime, hide when they don’t feel like coming in, and wake up their peacefully sleeping humans very early in the morning. There’s even a list of great places to…umm “get rid” of those annoying hairballs. That sound you hear? It’s paws applauding!

Funniest. Book. Ever. If you own a cat you will laugh, laugh, laugh. If you do not own a cat, your life is sad. I will loan this book to you, as well as my dear cat Rocco.
The book is written by a cat from the cat's POV. It was sooooooo well done. I could just see Rocco writing it himself. If it wasn't actually written by a cat, then the human behind it is genius.
And I would like to thank my friend Desaray for giving this book to me when I was very pregnant and pretty grumpy about it...I needed some cheering up! And I laughed till I peed. My baby was jumping up and down on my bladder, so I peed a lot anyways, but this book just made it all that more frequent. Ah...I'm sure glad I'm done being pregnant! Ick!

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book It put a big smile on my face. It is obvious that Quasi has his owner Steve trained very well. The book is a "tell all" in the words of a very wise and witty cat named Quasi. He gives advice to his cat minions about how to manage their humans.
Evidently Quasi is very good at picking appropriate dates for his owner Steve. The narrative on how he screened out inappropriate potential mates for his owner is really funny.
Quasi has plenty of advice on a wide range of subjects. He has all sorts of tricks of the trade for looking cute that he shares. Having lived with several cats...I agree these techniques do work! Another favorite section centers on how to manipulate your human about what kind of food to buy and how often to give treats. Again, Quasi I think you have a winning strategy there. Cat owners will definitely recognize a lot of these detailed techniques in their own felines.
It is nice to see a male perspective on all things feline!
I recommend this book for anyone who loves their cat family members!
This book would make an excellent gift for the cat lover on your list as well. I look forward to reading the sequel The World is Still Your Litter Box I am a definite fan!

This short instruction manual for cats is written from the point of view of Quasi the cat. In this book, Quasi teaches cats how to best manage their humans in order to ensure maximum cat happiness. Chapters include "How to Look Cute," "How to Get Away with Unacceptable Kitty Behavior," and "How to Get Attention When It's Convenient for You." Anyone who has ever owned a cat will recognize and appreciate the kitty tactics that Quasi endorses. Pretty funny stuff.

This was really cute and enjoyable. I learned a lot about being a cat and I will use the lessons in this book for when I trick a human into thinking I am a really big cat.

You don't have to be a Crazy Cat Lady or a cat, for that matter, to appreciate The World is Your Litter Box. Although it does help if you own or have owned a cat or cats at some point in your life. Or if you are a cat.
Everyone knows that cats, unlike the inferior dog, cannot be entirely tamed or trained. Oh sure, we humans may think we've tamed the savage (but cute) beast that oh-so-graciously shares his or her living space with us. Kitty may even humor us from time to time and perform tricks on demand. But just when we humans are lulled into a comfort zone, Kitty surprises us by spazzing out biting (and clawing) the hand that feeds him or engaging in some other display of deviant behavior. Hey, you would too if your human fed you seafood medly when you really wanted BBQ blend. Quasi the cat's The World is Your Litter Box tells kitties of all ages how to capitolize on their natural behavior, from tips on taunting the pet sitter to the best places to throw up. Plus, there's a special section on how to get out of trouble if you happen to get caught in the act. All of it is presented in an easy to digest, humorous format.
Cats will find this book useful and humans will find it humorous. Both species can agree on it. A wonderful companion book to The Devious Book for Cats, by Fluffy and Bonkers.

Ok so I didn't really write an review, instead I went a different route. I decided because it was a manual for cats I wanted my own cat Buddy to participate. So I did a Buddy and I Blogger talk I should say.
So here's a preview of the talk, you'll have to go to my blog to read the rest . . .
Me: I found TWIYLB very funny, and some of the helpful tips and hints for Cats gives me flashbacks of what Buddy would do
Buddy: Like What?
Me: Can you let me finish? (Buddy scowls at me) Anyways, I never read a book that was a manual for cats! I mean I've heard of manual or Dummy books of how to raise/take care of a cat.
Buddy: HA! Yeah Right, what do humans know about cats besides our breed types? Buddy huffed

Thanks Steve and Quasi for giving me their book to review, I found it very funny and humorous trust me when I say those two things because I am one of those people that don't get humor stuff.
