A very light read that does remind you of how much your cat has you under their control. ( )

2nd time reading, still a hoot, LOL. ( )

I read this the other day and loved the premise behind the "Cat Manual." A professor who has learned to speak and translate "cat" has translated a manual only for cats. The manual discusses such topics as "Displays of Human Affection", "Helping Humans" and "Finding and Maintaining Suckers". The chapter on Finding and Maintaining Suckers was very hilarious.

All in all I did enjoy this manual. It was very well done and as I said I loved the premise behind the manual. The only thing I would quibble about is the price for this kindle edition ($2.99). The manual only numbers 51 pages and though it has 27 chapters they are only about 2-3 pages on average. I think to really make this appealing it would have been nice to have some illustrations or something included to jazz up this up. ( )

If you are a cat lover, odds are good that you will love "The Cat Manual." The premise is that the author found a cat manual typed in Cat in a Bejeweled subfolder (read: computer gibberish) and was able to translate it. What follows is a hysterically deadpan series of entries about how cats should react to certain situations such as becoming dead weight ("... cats have developed the unique ability - and duty - to become much heavier than their actual weight"), the vacuum cleaner ("A torture device filled with screaming demons"), and computers (where CPU = Cat Punishment Unit). Exquisitely delightful humor that will ring true for many humans that are owned by their cats. Highly recommended! ( )

Very funny and insightful. Almost seems like they know our cats, a sure sign this was written by cats. ( )
