Laugh Out Loud -- NOT!
I do love my cats too much but I don't need a non-cat person to tell me that. I couldn't quite put a finger on it at first until I realized the obvoious: Ronnie Sellers is not a cat person. That much I derived from the "about the author" page. He does not even profess to be a cat lover at all. This book is but a compilation of anecdotes from cat lovers from all over. Sellers says the idea of doing this book came from a cat person he met in a book shop. That woman should have been the proper author of this handbook. Jennifer Reinhardt could probably do it being a cat person herself. What remarkable talent! I found her illustrations funnier and more effective than the text that accompanied it. Each illustration captured what every cat owner (or cat owned human) has probably gone through. I give her illustrations five stars. I was thinking of returning this book but I decided to keep it anyway if only for Ms. Reinhardt's hilarious drawings.

Funny and unbelievably true!
I picked up this book to browse through at an attorney's office while my husband and I were waiting to close on our home loan. Ten minutes is all the time I had to skim through it, however,that was enough to know that I must get this book for 2 family members for Christmas or birthday. It is truly a cat lover's book.

Great book for all cat lovers or people associated with them
This book is a total hoot. The anecdotes are wonderful but the illustrations make the book. The details on each page made me laugh aloud - and I'm dog (boxer) co-dependent. Yes, I would recommend the book and have given it as a gift to several cat friends (and the human staff). Not deep reading but life needs humor too!
