Amazon.com Review

Back in the golden days (pre-1990), Internet books were deadly serious tomes filled with lists of line-mode FTP commands, hair-splitting essays on why BITNET was not part of the Internet, appendices filled with lists of RFCs and the contact phone numbers for hooking up your large university to one of the 13 NSFNet sponsored regional networks. Dialup providers were non-existent, and so were Net-humor books.

And then one day, a book of Smileys (those little ASCII faces like >:-{) was released, and we old-timers were not amused. And in general, I have not been amused by so called "net-humor" books, and I was predisposed to not like Internet for Cats.

But as soon as I opened this book, a contented smile came over my face, and I curled up into a little ball on a sofa and wished I had a kittis kattus to share it with. This is without doubt one of the most charming Net-humor books in existence. I loved it from beginning to end, and so will you. Four paws up!

Take a great trip with Judys' friend Bubbles through the Internet. Enough humor to leave you in tears and a great collections of Cat links. I will never tire of reading it, but may have to purchase additional copies because of worn out pages and Cat chews!
