I bought two copies one for me and one for my sister who also shares her life and her home with cats. Saturday they came in the mail. I didn't really have time to sit down and read but figured just a few pages. There I sat with two of my four tiny tyrants complaining because I wasn't petting them. I read and laughed until I finished the book. My sister picked her copy up Sunday and could not stop reading either. It's a funny, funny book. All of it is true, they are from outer space and they do make us crazy. Everybody who shares their life with a cat needs this book. Only a person who truly loves and on occasions hates their cats could have written such a clever little book. It would make a great gift for the cat lover.

I love giving this little book to new cat owners, especially ones who are first-time cat folk. Nicole Hollander's "Sylvia" cartoons have long been favorites of mine, and she turns her attention and talent to astutely describing life with our furry purry friends.

Her cartoons are hilarious -- just the right combination of "in your face" humor and subtlety -- and the text consisting of essays and "quizzes" is wonderfully funny. Anyone who has ever lived with a cat will see something they recognize: the finicky eater, strange cat habits in the bathroom, cats and vets, what cats do while we're away at work. There's even a "Dear Abby"-like column running throughout the book, offering "helpful" advice to "reader" questions.

Yes, Nicole Hollander has nailed the feline mystique cold. You'll love it.

If you're a cat owner, or should I say if you are owned by a cat... :) This book is for you. I think only cat people will understand the humour in this book. It's a really short read but you'll probably find yourself nodding your head in agreement many, many times.
How often have you tried to read the newspaper or eat dinner in peace only to have kitty stalking you. You know what I mean. This book tells it from the cat's point of view. They try to tell you that they are so hard done by... as if. Read the book and you'll know what I mean.

One of the best funny little books I've seen in a long time. Cat keepers will love it and cat lovers will see snippets of their own furry babies in these pages. This creator of "Sylvia" must sometimes sneak into my house and spy on my cats. I read this one often, and it always makes me laugh. All my cat keeping friends got this for Christmas. This one is a keeper.

great book just to have around to make you laugh on a day when nothing seems funny--if you don't laugh at this, then nothing will ever cheer you up again.

Those of us who love our kitties to an almost "nutty" degree will appreciate the territorial cats depicted here!
Another book with humorous cats worth having is Henry Beard's "French For Cats: All the French Your Cat Will Ever Need."

This book is sssooo cats!!!!! You do have to be a cat person to understand it! So funny and witty...I loved it!
