review 1: A cute and easy read for cat-lovers - perfect for when you're feeling down. Good for giggles and the occasional touching, sad moment too.For the full effect, though, it's good to follow at least one of the cat's twitter accounts (I'm a huge fan of The Bear's account, Why My Cat Is Sad). No only are they hilarious in themselves, but when you see firsthand photos of the cats in question can you can really understand why Cox characterises them so. Not to mention The Bear's gaze utterly defies description...
review 2: A fun, well written book about Tom and the way cats have shaped his life. I love the funny, upbeat tone to most of the stories. The imagery in the writing is incredibly good, and I laughed a lot. Most cat owners will relate, especially to the dictiona... morery parts about cat terms. I can say with all honesty that most of my kitchen is covered in 'gribbly bits', mainly from Whiskas meat varieties (no poultry, for some reason Ivan throws up all poultry based wet foods). I like the 'My Cat is Sad' posts on Facebook a lot, but this has been on my too read shelf even longer. Glad to finally have a copy, and I'll have to hunt down the rest of his books after Christmas. Until then, I am banned from buying books in case someone buys me the same book for Christmas.If you enjoy cat tales, and just love cats in general, then this is the book for you. I know a lot of animal lovers won't pick up a book where an animal dies, and yes, one cat passes away during the course of the book, so there's your warning. I still think it's a five star book, and I enjoyed it very much! less
