Book Description

November 29, 2007
In the years since we first published All I Need to Know I Learned from My Cat , with over 2 million copies in print and the fastest-selling book in Workman’s history, one thing hasn’t changed—people are still starved for wisdom. Few oracles have dispensed as much common-sense truth as Binky, Suzy Becker's cat. "It's O.K. to wear the same thing every day." "Know all the sunny places." "Flaunt your hair loss." "Get mad when you're stepped on." Life lessons such as these and dozens of others propelled the book like a champagne cork to the top of The New York Times bestseller list.

Now, to celebrate the book's double-platinum milestone, there's a new edition: the original book, in a fresh cover, plus 48 new pages, including the Are You a Cat Person? quiz. The cat, Binky, is perspicacious and profound; the artist, Suzy, is utterly delightful; and the combined effect is one of immense and irresistible charm. Every cat fancier will recognize the book's timeless take on grooming, health, relationships, boundaries, and, above all, how to live in the moment. With new entries like "Be good at hellos. Don't drag out goodbyes," "Don't think too far beyond your next meal," "Celebrate the days you can open the windows," and "First one in has to warm up the bed," these teachings may very possibly change your life. Or at least let you know that there's always time for a nap.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"This updated version of her best-selling All I Need to Know I Learned from My Cat features old favorites plus nearly 50 new cartoons 'drawn' by Binky, Becker's mischievous kitty sage. With advice on 'helping with the dishes' (insert sandpaper tongue here) and accepting the fact that not all company will like you, Becker's cartoons are subtle enough to win the hearts of sophisticated literary magazine readers, and funny enough to win the hearts of animal lovers everywhere."

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely lighthearted book that will put a smile on your face, November 26, 2008
This review is from: All I Need to Know I Learned From My Cat (And Then Some): Double-Platinum Collector's Edition (Paperback)
My husband bought me this as a gift and it was a delight to read. To be honest, I had seen the book in the store, but figured it was too lightweight to justify buying it for myself. I was wrong.

The illustrations are wonderful and make you smile. You're sure to recognize your cats in the drawings if they've ever tried to eat off your plate, shred the couch, or jump in a pile of warm laundry.

The gems of wisdom are matched perfectly with the pictures and the juxtaposition of life lessons with funny scenarios from a typical cat's life are what really make this book incredibly charming and heartwarming.

4.0 out of 5 stars really cute, July 4, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: All I Need to Know I Learned From My Cat (And Then Some): Double-Platinum Collector's Edition (Paperback)
I'm not a cat person, but these days I'm owned by a cat and I love and admire her as much as I ever loved my dogs. How did this come about? It happened before I knew it, or even realized why.

This cute book articulated, hilariously so, exactly how and why cats take over our lives. Even at their worst, they embody humanity's best ideals.

I do wish the cartoons were better drawn, though.

4.0 out of 5 stars Binky is always inspirational!, December 27, 2007
This review is from: All I Need to Know I Learned From My Cat (And Then Some): Double-Platinum Collector's Edition (Paperback)
I found my first copy of this book in the trash over 12 years ago. Definitely a fool who threw it away! It warmed my heart on the first skim. I have given blown up versions of some of the pages to friends as inspiration. I have a blow up of "Challenge Yourself", where Binky is struggling to drink out of the toilet, on my desk at work. Binky always brings peace to my heart, even if I don't have a sneeze that's the envy of others.

Binky's new lessons are not wholly original - some seem slightly recycled from the previous version, but they are still sweet. If you don't have the original version of the book, be sure to get this. In this chaotic world, we all need to take some time to eat the flowers.
