'Do you need a human in the first place? If you do, do not adopt a human on impulse. You may not get the right one for your lifestyle.'George the Cat is the feline world's favourite agony aunt. Now he brings us his irresistible, hilarious A-Z guide for fellow felines to help them navigate the human world, understand their sometimes weird and idiotic behaviour, and help turn human failings to feline advantages. Includes advice on how to move a sleeping human to the very edge of their bed, enjoy the use of their empty boxes before they're thrown out, and to get doors opened for you whether or not you have a private catflap.George also has a word of advice for 'Don't let your cat get his paws on this book!'For fans of Secret Thoughts Cats Have About Humans and 100 Ways for A Cat to Train Its Human by Celia Haddon.
Lovely Christmas gift and as an ABC of cat guidance it is fun and silly. However it is rather repetative and often struggles to find fresh material for each letter of the alphabet. I don't mind betting Haddon sometimes turned to friends and family with a call for some fresh ideas on what she might put next. Not a keeper as a book. My Pook exhibits some of the behaviours but fortunately she can't read and wind me round her little finger.
The book is organized alphabetically and covers a range of topics from "A" for Attention to "Z" for Zzzs. While the book has some humorous moments and interesting insights, it can feel repetitive at times, and the writing style can be a bit overly simplistic.
