Stuff on My Cat: The Book (Paperback)

~ (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

It began with a handful of digital photographs of office supplies, toys, and spare computer parts thoughtfully placed on Mario Garza's snoozing cat, Love. Over time, the objects became bigger: remote controls, shoes, empty pizza boxes. And then cat owners everywhere were sucked into the Internet phenomenon that is defined by a simple motto: stuff + cats = awesome. From Stuffonmycat.com (the amazingly popular website that redefines hilarious and that was named one of the coolest sites of the year by Yahoo! And GQ magazine) comes Stuff On My Cat: The Book. Culled from the thousands of outrageous photographs submitted by mischievous animal lovers, here are 200 of the most unbelievably entertaining images of cats with all manner of things on them: wigs, Easter eggs, dogs, cheeseburgers, cookware, gummi bears, action figures, tiaras, beer cans, pinecones, a statue of the Buddha, and much more. An introduction by the site's creator explains the Stuff on My Cat philosophy, and playful illustrations and graphics are sprinkled throughout. Just try to keep a straight face.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some very funny pictures, September 11, 2006

By	Gavin Scott (Sunnyvale, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

What do you get when you combine the recent spate of books of humorous dog and cat pictures with the Internet phenomenon of Snakes on a Plane?

Stuff on cats.

The cover image is one of the best, but there are a few more in there that make the book worthwhile. I picked this up at a bookstore the other night and was laughing out loud over it.

It looks like the author sent out a request for people to send in "pictures of stuff on your cat" and as a result quite a number of the pictures are just of grumpy looking cats with rubber ducks (or whatever) piled on them, so some of it is generic "funny cat pictures" that are just ok.

It's a great gift item just for the cover and the title / concept that will bring a smile to the face of almost anyone.

The funniest cat picture book since "Why Paint Cats".

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, April 27, 2007

By	Seth Klein - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you have the Internet none of the pictures are that great. Many of the pictures are online or have been done better since. The paperback is too small to enjoy the collection pages (they display 20 or so pictures on one page). You can get this for someone that doesn't have the Internet, but the paperback isn't good enough so you would need to find a hardback; but I couldn't see paying the price.

4.0 out of 5 stars So funny, June 13, 2009

By	S. Schwarz (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is so funny. We bought them for our cat loving Mothers for Mother's Day. They both loved them and had a great chuckle.
