I am rereading books I have had for years and loved, or I wouldn't have kept them. That's what staying at home during a pandemic is all about -- enjoying what you have and staying safe. Anyway, this is a funny book and not on a cutesy level. The illustrations are by the Sylvia illustrator / writer.

Example:
Cats don't make jokes at your expense.

If people do make jokes at you about your cats or anything, get this book.
There is an updated version which I ordered. I am a dog person. This is a serious recommendation.

I received this from my grandma. I feel like she's trying to tell me something...

Anyway, it was sorta cute. I liked the drawings, which I thought were fun. Otherwise, it just felt like a very early 90's "Cathy."

Fairly accurate.

[Adam · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is hilarious! I liked how they really exaggerated the cats, but I didn't like he feeling of the pages or how each sentence began with "A cat" or "Cats". Anyway, it was very entertaining and a pleasure to read this, despite the messy handwriting.

[Amber · Rating 2 out of 5]

very fast read...perfect for that crazy cat lady that lives down the road. If you can't think you that is.... it's you! It's a very fast read.

Two words: Hilarious and (perhaps) true!
For anyone who has been dissapointed by men!
GOSH, MEN!
