5.0 out of 5 stars A Cat-Fest Of Laughs!, August 29, 2001
By Kevin Spoering (Buffalo, Missouri United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)      
Anyone who likes funny things and cats will love this book. It is full of little stories and one liners and cartoons about cats and what they do, all amusing. Everything is done in black and white. My daughter, 10 years old, also found this book full of laughs. The only problem I had with this volume is that the binding along the spine became separated, but I recommend it anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Uncannilly accurate and funny, March 4, 1999
By Lesley West (St James, Western Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
If you own a cat you need this book. It is a book that makes you laugh out loud, and in addition to this humour it is VERY accurate. If you have a friend who has a new cat in their lives, send them this book. They will always appreciate it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The 1st book I read after graduating from university!, May 21, 2000
By HO WAI KWAN (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews
If you're a cat owner, you would find this book reviewing all your feelings (happy or unhappy) about cats. Then, after you've read this book, you would ask yourself: Your cat owns you or You own your cat? 'cause you finally understand know why you can't control the cat - cats are more superior than men.

Actually, this is the first book I can finish after I graduated from university 4 years ago! Very interesting comics, thanks to Jackie Geyer. Humourous content, thanks to Stephen Baker. A must read for any cat lover (and also for those who want to 'own' a cat).
