How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You (original 2012; edition 2012)

This book was funny. It wasn't all that appropriate and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone doesn't approve of that kind of humor, but it was a Christmas present from a close friend and he and I do enjoy that humor on occasion. This was very funny. ( )

Matthew Inman is amazing. ( )

This comic collection is hilarious for any cat owner, but you must be of good humor and willing to accept all sorts of inappropriate boundary crossings. ( )

This is a graphic novel/collection of cat comics from “The Oatmeal”. I've not heard of The Oatmeal (www.theoatmeal.com) before, but the guy who wrote/drew these must have a cat himself (or has had one). I was often laughing out loud. It was quick to read and very enjoyable. ( )

I did not buy this. Matthew Inman is a jerk, as proved when for disagreeing with him, I got showered with abuse from thousands of his followers who he set on me for three days. You wouldn't believe the misogynistic, homophobic crap they spouted at me and which he encouraged. I won't repeat it, but it was the usual sort of thing.

Unfortunately, I used to like reading his stuff, so I was tempted by this and flicked through. I do think it'd be a good gift for someone if you don't mind throwing money (and therefore support and implicit approval) in this guy's direction: there is nothing of the homophobic/misogynistic/bullying behaviour here. Just stuff about cats. His bit about how to tell cats are planning to kill you has always struck me as pretty true.

His humour does get pretty repetitive, though. ( )
