Browsers can go to on-line shopping at the Sharper Claws Catalog site or download popular software like Catfight Simulator at the Micro'Fuzzy-'n'-Soft site.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very funny, even if you're not a cat-person!, February 8, 1999

By A Customer

I don't like cats. Never did. I'm a dog person, but reading this funny book (someone gave it to me), made me laugh out loud. I hope the authors come up with something as great for dog lovers! It was a perfect break from the ever so serious world of the net.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wickedly funny, cat lover or not, February 24, 1999

By A Customer

This may become your favorite "coffee table" book, as it is not one to read once and put away. You'll find yourself coming back again and again to pore through this devilishly delightful spoof of web pages for cats. Just spend a few minutes absorbing "Deepcat Chowdown's 'The Seven Spiritual Laws of Laziness' " and if you aren't chuckling with delight, you have no sense of humor at all. Every page is designed to tickle and titillate, with outstanding success.

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious book for online cat lovers!, January 8, 1999

By A Customer

If you love cats, and you love the Web, this book is for you! Innovative, creative and funny! Take time to look over all the Web sites in the book -- there's lots of great material (and great cat photos too!).
