By	Doc Smiley (Studio City, CA USA) - See all my reviews

If you know a cat lover who also works in the mental health field, then you have just found the ultimate gift. This book touts the benefits of various mood-altering prescription drugs for your furry friends. When the catnip stops working, you can use this guide to find out how to mellow that meow. Buy one for your vet while you are at it and you may find a source for some free samples. And if your vet won't help you out, you can always buy your pills from one of those online drug stores that spam you every day.

5.0 out of 5 stars One Very Neurotic Cat Who Can Stop Whenever He Wants To..., January 30, 2004

By	Robert I. Hedges - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

This is a simply delightful little book about a cat who has a whole bevy of modern psychological issues, and finds relief in the miracles of Prozac, Xanax, Valium, Ambien, and a whole host of other medicinal delights! I was surprised to find that the only disorder this poor kitty didn't suffer from was Attention Deficit Disorder, but given his daily dosage of mood altering substances, I'm betting he'll feel just fine even if ADD is diagnosed in a sequel.

This is a very funny book, and is a quick read. The narrative is funny and crisp, the illustrations are wonderful, and the whole thing serves as a witty parable of the excesses of modern life, and the easy way out so often prescribed by so many Psychiatrists today.

I love this book! Buy a copy for yourself, your favorite cat lover, and your Therapist today!

By	Tricia A. Hardt "Moon" (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Pharmacologist will get a laugh over this adorable pamphlet illustrating drugs from the feline viewpoint. Short and sweet, this book depicts a drug per page with a charming kitty illustration.
