101 More Reasons Why a Cat Is Better Than a Man
Bestselling author Allia Zobel and bestselling cartoonist Nicole Hollander return to the popular theme that launched this successful series of cat humor titles
In this hilarious follow-up to their cat-humor classic, Sylvia's Nicole Hollander delivers the eye-catching, entertaining illustrations of Allia Zobel's irreverent and sometimes impudent confirmations of what women have suspected for years -- that they're better off with a cat.
- A cat would ask for directions if he were lost.
- Cats never ask, "What's in this casserole, honey?"
- Cats don't make a big deal out of the Super Bowl. Unless, of course, you serve shrimp dip.
- A cat would never make fun of your "bunny" slippers.

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.

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.
