A gently amusing book for those of us who have lived with cats. My favourite was 'The Look'. We've all been on the receiving end of that one!I liked the stylised drawings of the two cats but I also liked the more realistic ones of them, scattered throughout the book.
I'm not sure how to rate comics like this but it was hilarious so I'm giving it 5 stars.This pretty much exemplifies why my partner wants a cat and why I don't want one. Yeah they’re funny and cute and a little odd but they’re also annoying and irritating and somewhat evil.This was a really fun read.
This comical study of cat behavior looks at the many remarkable qualities of feline nature. Staples of the animal's evolutionary oddities such as the inexplicable fear of the vacuum, the inability to sit without wandering in circles first, the impromptu sneak attack, and a cat's instinctive desire to prevent humans from accomplishing work at a desk are all covered here in hilarious detail. Any cat owner will recognize the many instances that Jeffery Brown chooses to illustrate. The take on pecul...
I think I might have been expecting something other than just cats, but it was just cats. And then it just made me feel like my own cats have been dreadfully unoriginal. But in a good way.
People with cats would appreciate this. Simple, not much texts, and adorable.
This is in the same style as "cat getting out of a bag", a mix of cat observation with humorous cartoon style illustrations. If you have ever owned or lived some time with a cat (after all who owns who) you very quickly start to recognise their antics in this book. I think the most entertaining ones are those where you think "yes my cat does that, yes just LIKE that" and that is where i think the appeal of this book really lies. Great read and one I think I could go back to time and time again (...
I felt like there wasn't much of a narrative to most of these observations. I'm open to the idea that I just don't "get it" because I've never been much of a cat person. Most of my friends own cats, so I was hoping this would give me some insight into their world. Unfortunately not.
2.5/5If you’re a cat lover like me, you’re probably gonna like this. This book is a cute compilation of illustrations about cats and their particular behavior. Doesn’t have dialogue but it’s perfectly understandable for the audience. The art style is more inclined to a more traditional side; so, if you’re into that, I’m sure you’re going to love it. It is a short graphic novel, therefore a fast read, so I’m glad I picked this up. I think that if they have this title on your local library, you sh...

This is about cats and how awesome and strange they are. I was greatly amused by a review that said that the reviewer wished this book had more substance. My cat is currently sitting on the couch, licking his tummy. His gut is very substantial.
This book is adorable. If you like cats you will like this book. If you like cats but don't like this book you are dumb. If you don't like cats, well, that doesn't make you dumb. But you might still like this book.
What a cute comic about how weird cats are!
Cats...Just brilliant, that's exactly how cats are. I have one, I should know.
Why yes, I am a crazy cat lady who loves comics. How could I not like this book? It helps, of course, that the observations are spot on. ...read most of this book with a cat snoring on one arm and another cat curled up next to my hip. It's not a bad life.
Very adorable art - and he is right. Cats are weird.
There's a key word in the title of this book - observations. This is not a collection of humorous comic strips (although some are lightly amusing). Instead it's a short-hand observer's notebook of cat incidents. As a cat owner, a lot of them are very relatable; my cats do a lot of what he's documented. But my problem with this book is that it just observes; there's no commentary. Cats are weird? Okay. Why should I care? There's nothing here that justifies the collection. No humor, no deep though...
This book has made me desire a new feline in my life. Perhaps that is the point, to affirm a love of cats.
I love cats. They are hilarious. This is a fun light comic book that documents some of the delightfully weird stuff cats do. I would recommend picking it up for a fun 30 minutes of reading.
The cats are cute enough, but otherwise, I was pretty disappointed by this one. The cartoons themselves seemed to stop at the level of "these sure are some things that cats do," rather than adding much in the way of observations, or commentary, or humor. The situations are recognizable...but that's all. Any given volume of Garfield is funnier than this, and I don't even particularly like Garfield.
cute ❤️
