5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended, December 21, 2001

By A Customer

Highly recommended by Hal, age 12 and Toby, a kitten. Words of wisdom for intelligent felines. Warning: Do not share this book with your owner. Our owner got hold of it and now she knows our secrets. P.S. She says it's the best cat book she's ever read.

4.0 out of 5 stars A delightful little book!, August 15, 1996

By A Customer

This review is from: A Cat's Little Instruction Book (Hardcover)

This book features a mother cat's words of advice to her kittens as they venture into the world. It's humorous, but if you have cats, you'll recognize a lot of the behaviors. I'm sure that my cats must have read this book... :-)

5.0 out of 5 stars My Cats Didn't Write This Book But I KNOW They've Read It!, December 7, 2001

By	Terrie (Little Chute, WI USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER)

I could add instruction number 202..."always try to lay across the keyboard when someone is typing, if that doesn't work, attack the ankles under the desk." This is a cat's book of proper feline ettiquette. It is funny and will make you smile when you recognize your own cats within its pages. It's a nice compact volume, just 4" x 6", and might make a good gift the next time your cat incessantly bangs on the bedroom door after you and your partner have discreetly closed it for privacy's sake. This book shows that there's an art to being a cat, but it's a spiritual calling to be a cat lover.
