Product Description
Cats have their paws on the pulse of truth, but until now they've never let it out of the bag. So many kitties have so much to say. Together, they are a mighty voice of inspiration. Because even a cat needs a reminder that he or she is on this earth to have a good time. And everyone knows that when a cat feels good, people feel better, too.

So dig in your claws and lusten for a while to Woody, Clem, Marble, Pepper, Kahlil, and their friends. Tap your toenail, lick a whisker, nod your head, and breathe deep the refreshing scent of catnip.

ON HUMANS:"No fur, no paws, no tail. They run away from mice. They never get enough sleep. How can you help but love such an absurd animal?"

ON SELF-ESTEEM:"Make this the motto at your house: Yes, I can do anything! Then try it. Leap from the matel to the piano. Grab that five pound ham off the table."

5.0 out of 5 stars Every cat owner should own a copy, September 6, 1999
By A Customer
While you read this book, (probably while your cat is trying to get your attention by pushing the book down, or trying to paw at your lap) you will realize why so many people own cats, and why they are so fun to play with. You won't ever look at your cat the same, because you will always be trying to figure out exactly what is in his mind.
