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.

The cover of this book is misleading. This is not humorous, nor is it for cat lovers--or anyone with compassionate feelings for animals of any kind. C'mere Kitty is nothing but a juvenile attempt to find animal abuse amusing. It is sad that in these times, with all signs of animal abuse and child abuse being interrelated, with crimes against animals being tried in courts, with serious criminals being connected with earlier charges of abusive behavior towards animalss, that this book would be published and sold at the level that it is. Shame on Alan Katz and the publisher of this book.

I do not find the idea of tormenting cats, which is basically what the author suggests, funny, even if the cats are not physically harmed. The humor of this escapes me. Therefore, I do not recommend this book. The author gives his e-mail address in the book and I also sent him an e-mail about this.

Does Mr. Katz have cats? I doubt it - they've probably run away. Even though the suggestions are made in fun (I hope) they are potentially harmful. In the hands of a wrong person this book may transform into a book of horrors for a good-natured friendly cat. Mr. Katz may want to ask himself if he would like to have these suggested tricks played on him by someone 6 times taller and perhaps 12 times heavier. As suggested in the last pages of this book, don't let the SPCA see you doing any of these things to your cat. My copy of this book is in the city garbage dump where it will not give anyone ideas of torture. This one would never be donated to the library.
