However, it was a delight to read something that really did sound true to life for the ways cats think. I strongly recommend this for cat- and book-lovers! (  ) cissa | Nov 26, 2009 |  A great book. filled with all sorts of advice on different methods of sleeping, how to wake up your person and get food, and tales of great moments in feline history. (  ) TheDivineOomba | Apr 8, 2009 | This was a very cute little book, written in the style of a "how to" guide for cats. I loved the little pen & ink illustrations and it was clear that the humans who participated in the writing of this book really understood cats - some of the topics discussed could have been taken straight from my cats' daily activities. I fear it is not actually intended for cats. No self-respecting kitty is unaware of the basic techniques of mischief described in this book. I fear this book is actually a manual to aid humans who are owned by cats in thwarting the wholly natural impulses of their felines. If you have humans in the house, I would NOT recommend this book, as they may overcome their puny intellects, read it, and start interfering with all your fun. (  ) fannyprice | Apr 5, 2009 | As cat dad, I've been eagerly anticipating the release of this book and unfortunately, I was somewhat disappointed. It was not as funny as I thought it would be.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0345508491, Hardcover)Cats have nine lives. Shouldn’t they be lived to the fullest?“Domesticated” does not mean “docile.” The ho-hum routine of sleep, eat, eat, and sleep is no way for any creature who ruled Egypt for a millennium to spend her day. It’s high time felines everywhere woke up from their cat naps and grabbed life’s strings with both paws. The Devious Book for Cats offers today’s discerning kitties words of wisdom and advice on everything they need to know, from in-depth guides on cardboard boxes and catnip to a brief history of the Felinism movement. It provides fail-safe tips on waking a human when you want to get fed, choosing the purr-fect gift, staring like a pro, and making the most of superstitions. It also explains the undeniable allure of the Window, the terrifying specter of the Vacuum, and how you can groom properly in just the scant twenty-four hours allotted each day. Cats: Discover the devious fun you can have when you’re the one in charge! (retrieved from Amazon Wed, 06 Jan 2010 03:29:57 -0500) The first test round has been closed.
