This one's defintiely not for the sourpuss, or the person who thinks cats should be placed on a pedestal when the feline will gladly do it himself. However, if you have a little furball in your family that thinks it's the best thing since sliced bread (possibly farther back), just a couple of the suggestions in the book should have you owning that cat rather than vice versa.

I wanted to get this book because I'm right in the middle of this little war with my cat(he's winning). Even though I probably wouldn't do half the things in this book(outta pure laziness), I still thought it was cute. I especially love the one where you see how many post-it notes you can put on kitty.

I guess when you are named Katz you ought to know something about CATS. And when you are a TV comedy writer that knowledge can appear in a most humorous way. Cat lovers and especially those whose cats have the upper hand in their households, pounce upon C'Mere Kitty and seek some fun revenge.
What a neat book. Enjoy.
