I love this book! I train and care for MORRIS, THE 9-LIVES CAT, and many cat books don't interest me, but I bought this one. The combination of delightful cartoons and easy to digest facts and stories make this book a stand-out favorite in my collection. I love the drawings of the cats because they communicate the magic that only a cartoon can! I was delighted to find information here that I haven't found elsewhere. Richard Torregrossa skillfully combines both education and fun facts about cats, and with great affection--Fun Facts About Cats is appropriately named. As someone who has spent over a decade working with cats, I really appreciate the book's combination of humane messages with a healthy sense of humor"--Dawn Haney, handler, trainer, and spokesperson for Morris, the 9-Lives Cat

A friend of mine gave me this book and I've bought ten copies to give to my other cat-loving friends. Some of the interesting tidbits I picked up about cats inlcude the story about the cat who survived a 16-story fall, a cat who truly did survive nine lives, and that cats sleep about 16 hours per day, so a seven-year-old cat has only been awake for about two years. But it's the jolly cartoons that make this book special. The author knows his felines. They practically jump off the page, they're so real and cuddly. I want my husband to buy me the cover illustration of a tabby I am in love with. I can't wait to buy his next books, which I hope is on animals, too.

If you know a cat lover, this is the perfect book. This book captures the simple love and joy of owning a cat. The cartoons are bright and lively and text is full of suprises. Did you know that 80% of pet owners give thier pets gifts during the holidays. Or that one out of four dogs fail out of dog-sniffing school. Sniffing is a talent and not all dogs have it to the same degree. Wonderful stuff. I bought twenty copies. Christmas is right around the corner.

This is the most charming collection of illustrations!. Richard captures the uniqueness, personality and the coolness of cats in his adorable drawings. The facts were so interesting I couldn't put the book down. I e-mailed some of the facts to my feline loving friends and they begged for more. This is a great gift idea for all animal lovers. If you weren't crazy about cats before, you will be after reading Richard's book.
