"The Cat Owner's Manual". It's all in the name. Does anyone really own a cat, though?

"The Cat Owner's Manual". It's all in the name. Does anyone really own a cat, though?

An OWNER'S manual? Seriously!? Well, actually, The Cat Owner's Manual is a technical manual on how to keep your model healthy and clean, how to help her interface with other animals, and why she throws hairballs with such regularity.

A picture book, "If Cats Could Talk". Next to an actual cat, who cannot talk.

I'm pretty sure that if cats could talk, we wouldn't. Or else we'd lie to you.

Cos that's how we roll. But in If Cats Could Talk, it's assumed that we are witty, talkative, and brilliant. Which we are, of course.

A black kitty sleeping in front of the book "Why Cats Do That".

Why DO cats do that? You know... That. Yes, THAT. Probably because we're so awesome. Or maybe because we love you. Or maybe because we are protecting our territory. Or maybe because you're too stupid to know how to hunt.

"Here Comes The Easter Cat", possibly the best Easter book ever.

"Here Comes The Easter Cat", possibly the best Easter book ever.

So, I totally should've posted this last weekend, but we were dealing with a kitty issue (as one does). So you get your Easter #book #review a week late. =P

The Easter Bunny certainly gets around... And Cat is going to help.

I haven't reviewed much fiction during the last year or so, and to be honest, I'm not 100% sure that this book IS fiction.

...uh-oh. I've been spotted! I had hoped to bring all you kitties a secret review of this fascinating book by The Oatmeal (aka Matthew Inman), but I foolishly read it while stealing the short human's warm spot on the bed. Bah!

Everything Here Is Mine. Yes, that pretty much sums up my life. And this book, by Nicole Hollander. BEST BOOK EVER. Especially the plans for setting up a feline solarium and bathroom.

This week, I read 50 Simple Ways To Pamper Your Cat, by Arden Moore. Not a bad selection of ideas — who wouldn't love to have specially-made treats and daily massages? —

Yhis sweet little New Yorker Book Of Cat Cartoons may look small, but it's stuffed full of comics by all the best cartoonists to ever submit to the New Yorker, from Charles Addams (yes, THAT Addams) to Jack Ziegler.

Do you knead your mommy? These kittens do, and they've written poetry about it! If you read and enjoyed 'I Could Pee On This', you will also enjoy I Knead My Mommy.

This perfect little colouring book features eighteen examples of how jerky unicorns can be. Buy this book. Learn the truth about unicorns. And don't be a jerk.

Not all books in my personal library are about cats. (Shocking, I know.) Sometimes, I come across a book that exposes a cold, hard, sparkly truth, like this one: Unicorns Are Jerks.

Soooo. The short human actually has a book called How To Talk To Your Cat! (And Get It (sic) To Do What You Want). After I stopped laughing, I realised the author, Lynn Allison, was serious.

What's that you say? You aren't going to school because the teachers don't understand you, the curriculum is too focused on thumbs, and the students are too, well, human? Then have I got a surprise for you!

The nice lady adopts the kitten. The kitten grows up to look a lot like mum. More tears. Next Christmas, Herriot comes by to visit and makes moving remarks. Mop up further tears with soaked hanky or convenient cat. The end. (5/5)

SPOILER (1/2): Stray cat occasionally visits a nice lady to enjoy her warm fireplace. Stray cat brings her kitten to the nice lady on Christmas Day, and then promptly dies in front of the warm fireplace. Queue tears.

I like most Herriot books; not a bad guy, for a vet. This is a sweet book, and not bad for human kittens above a certain age. More of a rental though. Once you've read it you won't forget it, so pass it on to your local library, or another cat lover who wants a good cry. (3/5)

The copy I have is charmingly illustrated by someone with thumbs.

It is the tale of a cute, stray cat and her kitten, and the happiness and sadness and happiness that befell them.

SPOILER below! (2/5)

It's time for the EphyCats Caturday Book Review!

James Herriot was a vet, and as many doctors and lawyers and politicians do, he wrote books about his day job. The Christmas Day Kitten is one of his shorter works. (1/5)

It's clever, but mostly filled with things any well-educated cat should already know. Probably best given to a kitten, to help her sort out a few things early on, so she doesn't make too many embarrassing mistakes. I hear there's a dog version of this book, but who cares. #book #cat #ECCBookReview
