Let's get this over with <smile> I do not like cats. Dogs are much more loyal, always happy to see you and some dogs actually work. You never hear of a cat rescuing anyone from frozen terrain.

With that out of the way, lets talk about the most refreshing, humorous book to hit the bookshelves. If you ever wanted to know a "Feline's perspective on love, life and litter", this book is for you. It's one of those rare books that you can share with your children.

Cleo and Tyrone spend the days dreaming, emailing each other, plotting ways to drive their Mommies and the dog, Loopy Ole Chester, nuts. They views of the world will have you laughing out loud.

Now if only Linda Hamner and L.Virginia Browne would write another Cleo and Tyrone novel... solving mystery?

This is the present you should buy for yourself and every other cat lover you know. It's funny, it's touching, and it gets inside the minds of two extraordinary felines. If you were ever wondering what your cat was thinking when you weren't around (or even when you are!), this book explains it all to you. A really must-own book, and I hope all the cat world becomes aware of it. Even ailurophobes (hope I spelled that right!) will have their fears confirmed: Cats really ARE smarter than most of us and this book proves it! I am looking forward to seeing Cleo's screenplay made into a major motion picture!

I ended up reading it myself and wondering why, in all of literature, I had never before seen a chapter headed "Moving, Metamucil and Mengele." Seems like such a natural. Anywahy, I got this for a cat-loving friend, then my kids saw it, and because we have a cat that climbs on my keyboard, they assumed it was about our cat and proceeded to pick it up, smearing it with peanut butter and rendering it useless as a gift. So I started to read some of it to them as a rest between Harry Potter installments. They liked it and so did I. Though I got a lot more of the jokes than they did. works on two levels the way the old bullwinkle shows do and the way we like to think the new grinch movie does. anyway, cleo makes me laugh. it';s just a great comedy name. cleo. has "k" sound in it, you know.

A must-read for "feline-ophiles" and anyone who has ever wondered what really goes on inside the mind of a cat. Not to mention that it's a love story, too. The authors have perfect captured the essence of "felineness" as epitomized by those two artistes of the keyboard, Cleo and Tyrone. Their unique outlook on life is hilarious and insightful both to cats and humans too.

A charming and insightful book, filled with a hilarious feline view of the world. Everyone (not just cat-lovers) will appreciate the wit and wisdom of Cleo and Tyrone. After reading their adventures, pet owner may find themselves putting a "password-protect" on their computer before leaving the house!

No matter what type of pet lover you are,you cannot help but laugh hysterically at the wit and perception of the world through feline eyes. This book is so original and fresh, not to mention side-splitting hysterical. May this be the first in a long series of wonderful collections and random thoughts of the world's two funniest cats. Author! Author!

Okay, I consider myself this big dog person and I dont even LIKE cats ... but I loved this book. The two authors get into the minds of their felines and write a funny, humorous, amusing and even romantic book about their cats, Cleo and Tyrone, writing e mails back and forth. I don't know what I liked more ... the inside jokes that all pet owners would appreciate or the cats' take on life and humanity. I'm giving this one to the cat lovers on my Christmas list...and a few of the dog lovers, too!

This is a must read for cat lovers and people who wonder why people love cats. This bit of light fiction (or is it?) willl cause giggles, guffaws, and the uneasy feeling that the authors have been in touch with your cats, or that your cats have been writing under aliases. Having had 2 cats that were fascinated with poking away at the computer keyboard I am not sure that the premise of this book is totally unlikely. I am ertain that there have been times when many of the cats who have demanded that I share my home with them have been as egotistical, vain, inventive, crazed, and as intolerant (or tolerant, as the situation may require) as Cleo and Tyrone. Their love story, their perceptions, and their voices are captivating and uncannily possible.
