Not much to read in this book, but it is wicked fun! I enjoyed this more than "Bad Dog" because cats, for some reason, have a natural flair for posing.

I just LOVE this book. Edgar has a way with matching photos to cute little verses. I still read my copy when I need a laugh. Any cat lover should enjoy this book and I only hope he comes out with more of the same in the future! A GREAT stocking stuffer for that cat lover!!

These captions are great FUN!!

Even more fun is going through the book and taking the captions and applying them to the pictures in your own "people" album. It's amazing how you can add hours of laughter to a family pictures with the addition of a real off-the-wall caption. You can actually make the most BORING pictures hilarious with the right caption!

Try It - You'll Like It!!

Really cute and fast read. Each page has a picture of a cat - almost all side-splittingly funny - with name, age and hobby of the cat in question, plus a caption for the picture. TOO FUNNY!

Lots of cute and funny pictures. Some of the photo comments have drug and sexual references, so parents be advised.

I am so glad to have come across this book. Anyone who loves cats and most likely people who don't would enjoy this book. I found it so funny that I would wake in the middle of the night, take a look, and just not be able to stop laughing. It's amazing that half of these pictures even got taken. Definitely a book any cat lover should check out!

This book is comprised of 244 portraits of cute, albeit naughty felines with hilarious captions. Many of these cats resemble vampires, eery! Have you ever wondered what your cat is really thinking? You will surely get some ideas from this book as well as the website http://www.mycathatesyou.com, but Jim Edgar warns, "Kids, stay away! And all Homo sapiens beware." I highly recommend this book, a definite must-read for all cat lovers! Remember, you do not own your cat, your cat owns you.

If one finds cats dressed in ridiculous costumes or in uncomfortable situations amusing you'll like this book.

I found nothing humorous about it.

Similar to laughing at drunks or others in dire situations, this compilation of photographs of their 'beloved' kitties reflects the owners' disrespect and disregard of their pets--- laughing at and publicly posting their subversive abuse of the trust that should be inherent in the pet/owner dynamic.

I ordered this book assuming it was based on natural cat antics... It is not.

Written by an opportunist that has never owned a cat and has no idea of cat mentality -which is complex- Jim Edgar has a website available to post photos of cats: Mycathatesyou.com.

The choice of his website name says it all.

This little book is full of pictures of cats caught at their funniest. Each photo is accompanied by a caption that adds to the humor, plus a history of the cat in the photo.

Are you a cat admirer? The author will prove to you, once and for all, that the Cat is to be at once feared and revered. The Cat is in charge. Never doubt that! Pictures with captions to entertain humans - not on purpose.

These pictures are hilarious and adorable, but not in a cutesy way. Regular people took these pictures of cats looking crazy, dressed funny, or doing something wild. You laugh in spite of yourself.

Hilarious! Any cat lover will identify with the antics portrayed here. Not all those cute kittens. These are the real thing and the captions and "hobbies" of the cats are priceless. Good condition with just a discreet fang mark in one corner of the cover from my own little scamp cat, Alchemy.

This book is a little, glossy paper, sad imitation of LOLcats/icanhazcheezeburger. My grandson likes the pictures, but he's not even 3 yet. Some of the captions are not suitable for kids that can read.
