Disappointing.,
By E. Burian-Mohr "cornerstoregoddess" (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bad Cat Page-a-Day Calendar 2006: 365 Not-So-Pretty Kitties and Cats Gone Bad (Calendar)
Another reviewer had expressed disappointment that the pictures (unlike the cover) are in black and white. I didn't think this would be a problem until I got my own Bad Cat calendar. The day pages are of such poor quality paper that the resolution on the B&W photos is poor. There are captions (not particularly funny) with each picture that cover most of the rest of the page, so there is no space to make notes on the calendar, if that's what you want it for. Color me disappointed.

Disappointed,
This review is from: Bad Cat Page-a-Day Calendar 2006: 365 Not-So-Pretty Kitties and Cats Gone Bad (Calendar)
I am a regular buyer of the Cat Page a Day calendar. Don't buy this version. Really. Blurry pictures of cats in not too interesting poses. Comments below the pictures are not clever. Black and white. I am too lazy to return, but I hope to make a contribution by encouraging you to not waste your money. I used to regularly "share" the pictures of the cats in page a day, whether my coworkers wanted them or not, but I will not bother them with this em stuff.
Who wrote this comment with astericks below mine in blue? I didn't. I am not sure what they mean.

Misleading,
By TawnTawn (Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bad Cat Page-a-Day Calendar 2006: 365 Not-So-Pretty Kitties and Cats Gone Bad (Calendar)
As another reviewer stated, I was lead to believe that the pictures of the cats would be in color and high quality. Wrong. They're all black and white, and poor quality. Some are so small there is an inch of extra space around the perimeter of the photo. Some of the pictures are so fuzzy that you can't really tell what they are of - for instance I thought one cat was playing in some hay, but according to the caption, it was wire. The pictures of the "wanted" cats are just pictures of cat faces, not doing anything or being funny at all, and the captions don't make up for the pictures not being funny. There were only two pictures/captions in the calendar that I chuckled at. There is also an error in one "characteristic" - it says that the "wanted" cat is known for having dilated pupils, however the picture clearly shows a cat with pupils as constricted as they can get.
I was VERY disappointed in this cat calendar. I thought it would be better than Bad Cats, the book. Wrong. It was definitely substandard.
