The pictures that went along with the statements were cute. I highlighted the words to some of the ones that I thought were most amusing. KU read that went a lot quicker than I thought it would.

If you are into graphic or comic-style books that present the world of cat to you this is the book for you. Brief, straight-to-the-point and every page illustrated it will bring you into what the world seems like when you are a cat parent.

As for the text it is brief and easy-to-read while only providing about a sentence per page along with the comic illustration. These either give cat-parent given facts such as cats bring you back presents whether dead prey or live fleas to share with you or twirks what seems like a bad kitty habit to give the reader something positive to take from it such as waking you up early in the morning so you know they're okay and you may as well feed them since hey you're already up. Nothing too original, though, from all the other myriad cat facts out there.

It was decent and a quick read while would make for a good book for kitty parents who just need a quick reminder you may have a cat from hell or a cat's cat but is she really as bad as you may think she is?

a cute, quick read

I enjoyed this book. It’s short but cute and really shows us that cats loves us no matter what we do. From putting Santa hats on them for a Christmas photo giving them a lot of love, it’s all covered here with nice illustrations and brief descriptions. A very fun book.

Great and on Target

This book was written for anyone who has ever had a cat. I laughed and winced as I read it. You can tell the writer has had a cat. Much of this book reminded me of my own cats Charlie and George. Great Writing

My Sweet Cat

Truer words were never spoken. This is my cat. It's nice to find others who enjoy their lives being overtaken by their cat. Still don't know why they love boxes so much!

Not informative.

Not what I expected. Meant to be funny not informative. I thought it would have more information that was useful.

So so

I am a huge Cat Fan, but this book is lame. The art is decent, nothing spectacular.

I sure wouldn't have paid for it.

Cute Comics

How can something so true be so funny? We laughed a lot with little feet kicking our sides. Maybe we related too much. 😝🤓

cute short book

It’s cute, and very short but as a cat owner, a lot of the little cartoons are true. You’ll get a good laugh.

Cute. My daughter got for me for Father's Day because I'm a "cat dad." Very quick read, and related to most of it.
