Laugh Out Loud -- NOT!,
This review is from: The Official Cat Codependents Handbook: For People Who Love Their Cats Too Much! (Paperback)
I do love my cats too much but I don't need a non-cat person to tell me that. I couldn't quite put a finger on it at first until I realized the obvoious: Ronnie Sellers is not a cat person. That much I derived from the "about the author" page. He does not even profess to be a cat lover at all. This book is but a compilation of anecdotes from cat lovers from all over. Sellers says the idea of doing this book came from a cat person he met in a book shop. That woman should have been the proper author of this handbook. Jennifer Reinhardt could probably do it being a cat person herself. What remarkable talent! I found her illustrations funnier and more effective than the text that accompanied it. Each illustration captured what every cat owner (or cat owned human) has probably gone through. I give her illustrations five stars. I was thinking of returning this book but I decided to keep it anyway if only for Ms. Reinhardt's hilarious drawings.

Funny and unbelievably true!,

This review is from: The Official Cat Codependents Handbook: For People Who Love Their Cats Too Much! (Paperback)
I picked up this book to browse through at an attorney's office while my husband and I were waiting to close on our home loan. Ten minutes is all the time I had to skim through it, however,that was enough to know that I must get this book for 2 family members for Christmas or birthday. It is truly a cat lover's book.

CATS FOREVER!,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Official Cat Codependents Handbook: For People Who Love Their Cats Too Much! (Paperback)
I first bought this book over 25 years ago so this is my 2nd copy. Many people love "a cat." I love "cats." I have five. I imagine I am as close to the women in this book as anyone. I find it absolutely hilarious, but not unrealistic -- and I find it heartwarming. I smile deeply just knowing it's on my shelf. Ronnie, you've outdone yourself! Jennifer, your drawings are almost as perfect as the cats themselves! Thank you! If I felt the same way about any other animal (I do love dogs) I'd be knocking on your doors begging you to repeat your success.
