This is a chocolate truffle of a book that is great for cat lovers of any age. Has a section on reading the body language of a cat. Includes some projects that cats (my cat does anyway) enjoy.

The ideas in this book were common sense. Even if this book was written for children as the audience, it was too obvious! Cute drawings. It should be advertising as a child's first cat book in the childrens section not in the adult section.

If I had children and cats, this book would be a TEN. However, I don't so I'd rate it 3 stars. The book is pretty clear that the intended audience is kids. The back cover says, "Children/Pets" and, "Games and activities for kids and cats". The pictures are large, the typeface even larger and the tone is simple, but fun.

I'd agree with some of the reviewers who say the information is pretty basic, but since the book is for children, the information will seem shiny brand new to them. This book might also be appropriate for someone who just got their first kitten or cat. However, if you've had cats for years or are an ardent cat lover, I'd say give this a pass and look for something more age appropriate for you ;).

This is a wonderful book for any cat owner. It's ideal for children to learn positive ways of playing with their cat. Large print and easy reading adds to the fun of this book! It gives many ideas of fun things to do with your cat and some tips for better communication. It mentions that trust is very important so we shouldn't do anything to scare the cat, even though it may be fun. Additionally, there are tid-bits of interesting information about cats. It contains instructions for making some cat items instead of spending a lot of money on purchasing them from the store, for example a cat porch by a window and scratching post.

My son loves this book and has spent countless time with our cat and this book. The cat, on the other hand, probably hates it. ;)

Bought this for my 5yr old grandson. We've read many things out of the book to him and it really has some good suggestions about how to care for a cat. It explains how to handle cats so young people can understand. Most of the things the book suggests you do to play with the cat are not new ideas, but there's a few things in there I hadn't thought of. A decent book to get and read to first time young owners of cats/kittens.

Nothing new here. I already knew most of the stuff in this book. Nice for someone who never owned a cat before.
