review 1: This is the kind of book any cat lover and owner can relate to. If you've owned multiple cats, then you know how unique and individual each one is. Tom Cox describes each of his in such a funny light that I found myself laughing (with them, not at them, the last thing you'll ever do is laugh AT a cat) It's just a really great book! I love the way he writes, and I love his sense of humor. I love the cats, and now I'm going to go out and somehow find a copy of his first book this one was just that good. So highly recommend I can't even put it into words, and a definite five star book!
review 2: This is THE book for any animal lover! It's cute, it's funny and even bittersweet at parts, but the love the author feels for his six (yes, SIX) cats is truly heartwarming... more. We follow him through cat-fights, hairballs, dog walks and hilarious family members; also coming across tigers, sheep, bats and human animals.There are ups and downs and happiness interspersed with sorrow, and even if some parts seem a bit flat or over the top, his wry, wacky and witty humour shines genuinely through. I found myself wishing the book would have been longer because as a cat owner myself and having gone through what the author has, I know that not even twelve books that size could possibly contain all the adventures and misadventures he writes about. What made the book enjoyable is the varied chapters and diary excerpts (and puns in the titles) because not even one was boring or slow. Oh, and I mustn't forget the cat language dictionary. I assure you-this is the only place where you can find cat swear words or names for the fur they leave around the house!I also loved the way he sees his cats as persons-holding dialogues and arguments with them, making them perfect human characters, only a little hairier. Even those who may profess themselves as cat haters will find this an endearing read. Next on my to-read list? Tom Cox's first book-Under the Paw!!! less
