Joe Garden The Devious Book for Cats: A Parody

Absolutely fantastic book! Funny, easy to read and in every phrase you think of which of your cats would have done/said the same.

Over the years I've read many supposed-to-be-funny-and-clever little books about cats. This is because I live with a lot of cats and a lot of books, and people tend to think that if you like books and cats, then you certainly must find any book with "cat" in the title to be of significant interest. As a result, birthdays and holidays around here often end up looking like a collection site for a charity book sale drive. And a lot of those little cat books DO end up going to charity, because frankly, quite a few are neither all that clever nor all that funny, in my opinion. There have been exceptions, but they are just that -- exceptions. The Devious Book for Cats is one such exception. I received it the other day, and just flipping through and reading random sections left me laughing out loud. Really loud. Quite a few times. Given the current state of the economy and soaring prices for cat food and litter, I must tell you that I have not been in much of a laughing mood lately. The catnip budget around here has suffered quite a bit in recent months, just trying to put kibble on the table, you know. So this book is a welcome mood-brightener. I like this book so much in fact, that I am ordering several more copies to send as holiday gifts. Anyone familiar with the feline lifestyle should find this book entertaining. The authors, Fluffy and Bonkers, have written an unusually creative, original and inventive guidebook. And even though I am extremely busy these days watching birds out the window and napping, I am going to sit down on that book and absorb it more fully at my first opportunity.

Ohhh such a wonderful delightful and cute book written for cats by cats. It's a parody, but the lessons in it are true to heart. How to fit yourself into a box. How to make your human feed you, NOW! How to get a perfect nap. I love this book, it is a must have for any cat lovers!! And there are some simple historical stories in there too, but it's all fun easy reading, just a bunch of laughs and if only my cats could REALLY read, this would be their handbook! I discovered this book after I found "The Dangerous Book for Dogs." After I read IT, I thought I'd look to see if there was one for cats--surely there HAD to be, and so here it is. Two thumbs up!

Wonderfully funny book and definitely has great understanding of cat behavior. My furballs are easily seen in most (if not all) of these essays. Another great book for those who don't already have it is "I Could Pee on This." It is along the same lines as this book and is actually what led me to getting this.

I love cats. So I did like the book. Very creative and enjoyable. Amusing and very true to emulating the characteristics of real cats!!! The author did a great job!
