Rubes®, Leigh's syndicated cartoon, began in 1984, and the first paperback collection of Rubes® was published in late 1988. His most recent series of books include the award-winning "Wild Life of Love" and "The Wild Life of Cats."

I found "The Wild Life of Cats" to be hilarious and I highly recommend it. You don't have to be a cat lover to enjoy this all color cartoon book. But if you are a cat lover (like me!) this marvelous collection will make you laugh page after page. Rubes knows how to capture humorous insights of animals like no other cartoonist. Any one in his series of Wild Life books (Cows, Dogs, Farm Animals, and Pets) would make an excellent present for family and friends... if they enjoy a good laugh!

I'm glad I purchased this book. Very funny! An entertaining read for anyone who is owned by a cat, or would like to be. Cats are fascinating creatures and this little book gives us just another perspective of what we just know cats are really like.

I first received this little book as a gift. I immediately ordered 10 copies, knowing that the feline fanciers in my life would find it PAWsome! If you're not a devotee of cats but still enjoy wry humor, this comic collection of kitty antics is worth the investment. The Wild Life of Cats is a standout in the Rubes series. Don't let the "one-star" comments dissuade you. This particular cartoon selection is absolutely meow-velous!
