Michael Inman

I don't have cats right now, but I grew up with several. This book is scarily accurate. Also hilarious. It would have been worth buying just for the long chapter "Cat vs. Internet," but the handy "Having a Baby vs. Having a Cat" chart is also quite important. "When upset, babies moan like overweight, needy vultures. (vs.) When upset, cats go kill something in the yard and then take a six-hour power nap. Cats handle pain like champs." Very true.

The book arrived at work today, where I had it delivered. While the kids in my class were doing their things, I flipped through the book and instantly giggled. I couldn't wait to read it all. Because I still had an hour of teaching to do, I lend the book to a colleague of mine who's as crazy about cats as I am. She was laughing out loud several times.

During the lunch break, she, another colleague and me read the book, surrounded by people who had no clue what we giggled about. We laughed show more until we cried a lot of times. The drawings are amazing. The punchlines are as well. This book is amazing. I don't even care if a lot of stuff is available for free online, it's wonderful to read it in an actual book, together.

This book was a hilarious interpretation of life with a cat. Matthew Inman has obviously been owned by a kitty. My favorite chapter was If we treated our cats like they treat us". Ah, sweet revenge. The chapter I didn't care for was "How to tell if your cat is a raging homosexual". I was just kind of like "Really, who cares?" Overall, I was laughing so hard I fell off the couch."

How is it I never wrote my thoughts about this?

I like cats. I also think they can be massive assholes. Like horses can be. I'm really glad I can at least pick up the cats.



Also both of them interrupted me while writing this. One by jumping on my table and the other one by sitting in the doorway and just kept on mauwing.

I think I had a point I wanted to make but I forgot it. This book is the paper version of the behaviour of cats. It doesn't always makes sense, like this review, but you can show more see the funny side of it. show less
