Editorial Reviews

Review
Great gift ideas for those who need a helping hand to see the humor in their midlife passage. . . . This book of whimsical and colorful cartoon depictions of cats enduring menopausal symptoms and coming up with innovative solutions is an old-favorite that is, thankfully, still in print. [The] suggestions are guaranteed to tickle your funny bone. A Friend Indeed: For Women in the Prime of Life newsletter

Product Description
The Silent Meow

Mature, responsible, well-adjusted females know that it's natural to expect some changes as the years go by and calmly accept that "to everything there is a season." But the whimsical, womaly, and anything-but-sedate cats of Menopaws offer another approach - let down your fur, embrace the Change, and live your lives to the fullest.

This book offers two dozen solutions to common menopausal (or menopawsal) problems. Night sweats? Sleep naked! Gaining weight? Celebrate! With colorful cats illustrating every one of these helpful hints and a detailed bibliography listing slightly more sensible resources for dealing with menopause, this book is both fun and functional.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Beautifully Illustrated Brilliantly Humorous Book, April 15, 1998
By Elektra501 (Portland, OR) - See all my reviews
If you are going through Menopause, if you know anyone who's is also going through it or going into it and/or if you have cats, you must buy this book. This is one of the most hilarious and most beautifully illustrated books I've ever seen/read. A friend bought it for me shortly after my hysterectomy. I wasn't supposed to go into Menopause. I was 44 and my GYN carefully left my ovaries in. They immediately conked out when the rest of the equipment was gone -- I guess they got lonely or something. So suddenly I was Menopausal in a major way and completely unprepared for the myriad symptoms. The format of the book is simple but perfect. One page illustrates a Symptom of Menopause with a drawing of a suffering Feline. The next page is a a Kitty showing off the Solution. I have 4 cats: Thelma, Louse, Bobby Seale the Black Panther and Moll Flanders the homeless tramp who is a big martyr and insists on living outside even though she is welcome inside. My cats are my best friends. Especially Thelma, the Love Kitty, who is a Tortie Point and thinks she is either a dog or a person. As I said earlier, the drawings are wondrous and they complement Ms. Sacks brilliant words beyond expectation. I'm into shoes. So my favorite drawing in the book will always be the one that depicts the answer to the "Symptom: Loss of Height". "Solution: Buy New Shoes" shows a proud kitty strutting her stuff in a pair of red platforms complete with wings. It really doesn't get much better than that in life. A cat with attitude in platform shoes is pretty darn cool. And strangely comforting when you feel like you're losing your mind or having a hot flash.

5.0 out of 5 stars !!! FUNNY-WITTY-WITTIER-WITTIEST !!!, June 29, 1998
By A Customer
This is the perfect handbook for the Premarin crowd, their mates and family. You don't need to be a cat person for this book to be very funny. I laughed until I cried and I think it shall be my favorite present for my friends.
