Book Description

September 1995
The unadulterated cat is becoming endangered as more people settle for the pussies that purr into their gold-plated food bowls on telly. This is a Campaign for Real Cats - the sort that never wear flea collars but will eat quiche (and anything else left on the table) if they can get away with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars How real is your cat?, December 4, 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: The Unadulterated Cat: A Campaign for Real Cats (Paperback)

Tired of those books where you finally get around to calculate that your cat has an IQ of just above 160 and that he could get paid more than you should he decide to take a job?

Terry Pratchett is one of the funniest author ever and this is no usual 'rate-your-cat' book. Anyone who likes cats but who is not really keen on answering questions like "If your cat could choose to read any of the following newspapers, which would it be?", will be happy to read this. It doesn't try to be clever like some other books may try, but you can see through it all that Terry Pratchett has had his share of feline company.

While most other books 'rating' any kind of animals are not really meant to be read as a whole ( tedious explanations before and after in order to understand the ratings, numbers, calculations etc really prevent that ) this book is just funny and entertaining all the way through. Of course, there is _some_ kind of rating process, but the book was more written, I would think, to unite cat lovers in recognizing the most annoying and delightful traits of our furry friends. Something he did with his usual witty sometimes nearly sarcastic sense of humour.

This review is from: The Unadulterated Cat: A Campaign for Real Cats (Paperback)
This book is an amusing look at the world with cats, not fluffy fake cats, real cats with claws and attitude. If you aren't sure if your cat is a 'real' cat, then you should probably read this book. Even if you aren't fond of cats this book is funny and well worth reading.
