I was at a local bookstore over the weekend and saw the author doing a book signing. As soon as I opened the book I was blown away and also laughing out loud right in the store! I came home and my nephew and I read through the whole book together and laughed the whole time. I wish my cat was a cat yogi too! I've found the perfect holiday gift for all of my nieces and nephews this year. Go Cat Yoga!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Cat Yoga; Flexible Cats, Kids, Cat Lovers and Parents will Love it., October 16, 2007

This review is from: Cat Yoga: Fitness and Flexibility for the Modern Feline (Hardcover)

This is a fun and clever little book that my family is enjoying on our coffee table lately. Each page depicts a cat in a Yoga postition and most pictures are really funny, my 6 year old son laughed like a lunatic during the first few readings. On the opposite pages, there is text describing the position with its true(?) Indian name, and humorous enlightenments for the reader on how each position improves such important cat concerns such as musculature, coat health, litter birthing capability and self-confidence. My kids, their Mom and I are enjoying it a lot! It's rare to find a book these days that appeals to kids and adults but this is a good example.

Okay, I admit it. My brother wrote this wonderful book and worked on the photographs and all other aspects of this amazing literary contribution.

Some books make you think. Some books make you cry. Some books make you feel intelligent. This book simply makes you smile and/or laugh.

The quality is top notch and this is a perfect book for any cat or yoga lover. The images are so real that it almost looks possible.

Guarantee you will not be sorry if you purchase this book for yourself or a friend. I'm looking forward to other books in the "yoga" series.
