This is actually a cartoon-like illustrated book featuring 2 cats & an office man. Not really that funny, has foul language, sexual references, & was generally stupid and definitely not worth reading (

My cat is, indeed, plotting to kill me. (

This is great fun for any cat owner. Of course, the cats think they own us. Fun cartoons and the humor captures the real antics of our feline friends. (

Half of the book worked for me, the other half...not so much.

What worked was stuff like this:

What didn't work:

The bobcat comic just wasn't that funny to read. It was more "I hope this isn't the rest of the book. I seriously hope something is coming after this instead of this boring comic". And luckily it was just part of the book and then it got fun to read again.

Then we have this part and is this suppose to be funny? I just read and though "wtf?"...

Some laugh out loud moments, some "meh" moments and a lot of spot-on observations about the joys of being owned and manipulated by your cat. I think my husband will get a kick out of this and I'm sure a few of the entries will hit him as being funnier than did me. (I totally didn't get the BobCats thing.) (

Since fans of the genre never tire of jokes about cats pouncing on you in the night, batting you in the face, chasing imaginary creatures, wanting their tummies rubbed, and other proof that cats are crazy, cat humor appears to be above criticism.
