An organised book of cat facts.
Author managed to make the list of facts interesting by throwing some humour into it.
Would be a better read if I were a cat owner. But it didn’t inspire me to get a cat.

Cats don’t like socialising and can be kept indoors.

Apparently cat owners are more likely to be neurotic, depressed and anxious while dog owners are likely to be religious and outgoing — exactly like the stereotype

Was top

Fun and engaging, I finished it in a day! But i do believe it was not written by a true cat lover, there is no doubt to me that cats experience love, sadness and every other feeling we humans also experience!

Quirky, educational, very easy to read especially if you love cats! I love the highlighter orange motif in the book's art.

At first, it was difficult for me to read because of the bright orange color but apart from that, it was a fun read. I have a cat my own and I love her dearly. This book helped me understand some of the strange behaviors that my cat portrays. For anyone who doesn’t understand cats should read this book.

Hele grappige manier van leren over katten door middel van feitjes in een verhalende manier verteld

[Erin Pacitti]

A nice scientific overview of the science of cats. Gave me some good context for living with my little fluffball!
