🇨🇦 Sarcastic GenXer, author, pop culture zombie, variable-functioning depressive, introvert, and completely sane cat lady.
Dr David Brunner and his fellow human, Sam Stall, did a bang-up job of making us seem like furry VCRs, while simultaneously writing a pretty decent book. This one's a keeper. There's a book in this series for dogs and one for human babies, too, but who'd want those? Ew.

Otherwise, read it in a bookshop. It's not worth taking up space on your shelves. Unless you wish you could read the same 35 Instagram posts over and over.

P.S. How many dogs does it take to screw in a lightbulb? All of 'em. One to turn it, and the rest to run around in circles, barking at it.

But as much as I enjoyed it, it's just too short. Needs more substance. More pictures. More clever witticisms. More dog jokes. If you can find this book at a car boot or yard sale for under two dollars, then go for it... And then pass it along to another cat.

This tiny gift book-sized volume contains pictures of cats in various positions and situations, along with some snappy dialogue to go with the photos. It's like having a tiny piece of Instagram in your hands.

Or maybe because we want JUST A TASTE of that delicious bird outside. There could be fifty reasons why we do THAT, just like there are fifty questions in this book. It's a cute book. Don't take it too much to heart, though. We're probably just bored.

Or maybe because we have a million more muscles than you. Or maybe because you're not paying enough attention to us. Or maybe because we confuse you with our mamas. Or maybe because we like the way you sound when you're on the phone.

As always, Cat is adorable and cute and funny, all at once. They say this is a book for kittens, but I'm nineteen, and I loved it - and you will, too. Hooray for the Easter Cat!

Check out his kickass motorcycle and sidecar; I'd totally deliver eggs if I had THAT kind of transportation. Since he wants to be just as popular as the Bunny, Cat has decided to become the Easter Cat. Not such a good idea, Cat. But maybe you can be helpful in some other way...?

What adventures Belshazzar has had. What tragedy, what ecstasy, what a happy and satisfying end! From living in an English cottage with a typical nuclear family, to the tragedies that took him away from that family, to his 'Lean Years', and then back to a life of comfort, Belshazzar stays strong.

Belshazzar is the name of a handsome and well-travelled tuxedo cat who has collaborated with a human to bring you this autobiography. A slim but full volume, this book can easily be stashed away between your litter box and the wall, for convenient toilet reading.

The illustrations *are* damned pretty, though. Maybe I'll have the short human tear some of them out and frame them for me to hang over my litterbox.

The illustrations are still great, but at not much more than 200 words (WORDS, mind you, not pages - and that includes the dedication), it's really not worth owning. No matter how wise we sound in Haiku.

If this book were four times the size, I'd suggest picking it up on sale, because the illustrations are just that damned good. But it's not, so I can't.

If this book were a meal, it would be one of those fancy, Japanese dishes that has a single piece of fish, a tiny ball of rice, and three julienned cucumber sticks attractively arranged on a plate the size of your human's head. It looks beautiful, tastes delicious, but there's not a whole lot of it.

Regardless, the book -- How To Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting To Kill You -- is a brilliant work by a brilliant individual who MIGHT be a cat masquerading as a human. Of course, he IS revealing many of our secrets, so we may have to track him down and vomit hairballs onto his shoes.
