Unfunny and a waste of paper.

Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2018

Verified Purchase

This book was a total disappointment; what it lacked in humor and/or charm it made up in meanness and pointless vulgarity. I'm no prude by any means and quite enjoy naughty humor when it's actually funny, but this book failed to get even a smile out of me, much less laughter. I question whether the artist/author even likes cats, as the themes are based on negative stereotypes of cats and seem to come from finding their behavior annoying or frustrating, not from finding it even remotely endearing (as any cat lover would.) Also worth mentioning, there's a section called "How To Tell If Your Cat Is A Raging Homosexual" that I, an acknowledged raging homosexual, found especially unfunny as it only reinforces outdated stereotypes (though not maliciously.) If I had to find something positive to say about this book, I guess it would be that it's an equal-opportunity offender: offensive to cats, offensive to humans, and offensive to a reader's intelligence. And if you're a stickler for grammar and/or spelling, keep your red pencil handy; you're going to need it. I wish I could leave a score lower than 1 star and get my money back.

This book is a waste of money; do not be deceived by the overall high rating.
This book is NOT a book for children or Christians.
Though I bought this a few weeks ago; I got it for a Christian Cat Lady. As I looked through it just now I see the totally disgusting chapter about 'How to tell if your cat is a raging homosexual'. How is THIS supposed to be funny?! IT WILL GO INTO THE GARBAGE!!!

Kitty landmines - very real - very dangerous! ;)

Reviewed in the United States on November 24, 2014

If you've not read any of the 'Oatmeal' comics, well, you probably should. You can see a lot of excerpts for free on his Facebook page. Or look at the preview for this and other books of his. But if you have a really good sense of humor, and aren't afraid to laugh at yourself, then these are hilarious books. Matthew Inman is a great person and he isn't afraid to push some buttons (apparently the die hard Christians are made at him for his 'How God is Managing the Rapture' comic).

This particular book was being offered for dirt cheap on Kindle ($1.99 I think it was!). The book is a collection of many different 'sketches' (he is a computer graphics artist) and comics from over several years. Not every comic in the book deals with cats plotting to kill humans, but several do. But they all feature cats in some clever way. The 'Bob-cats' is a funny twist on office work. Other comics show the humor of cat behavior. If you don't have a cat or haven't had a cat, some of this will be unfamiliar - but still funny nonetheless. If you have a cat, then you can chuckle along at the totally real occurrence of the 'kitty land mine'. Seriously - the kitty land mine is very real, and almost always occurs on the stairs!

It's something that I like having on Kindle so that I can read it on my phone Kindle app if I'm having a blue moment. It never fails to both amuse and lift my spirits. We worth a couple of bucks.

What the Heck?!?!

This book was supposed to be a Christmas gift for my daughter, but thankfully I thumbed through it before giving it to her. It is completely offensive and talked about homosexual cat tendencies, including dreaming about another cat’s penis. Huh? Thought this was supposed to be a funny book!? How deceiving!!!

Vulgar, not very funny

Parts of this book are very vulgar. Wish I had known that before I purchased it. Waste of money and I waited too long to return it.

What a book.

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2022

So got this for a present for my brother fiancée who has 3 cats. Must say this book is probably one of the more hilarious things I’ve read in a while, the illustrations are spot on and it’s just a really good read. The wording is short per page so not a whole lot of reading involved in this book but paired with the art 10/10 so funny!

Hilarious. Perfect gift.

Reviewed in the United States on October 11, 2012

Verified Purchase

**Note: The author does use swear words in this book, and it is sometimes quite colorful. Just a heads up.

Preordered for a cat-lover friend. Now, that same book has changed hands 10+ times to other people who want to read it. It was an excellent purchase.

Personally, I would use this book for a good toilet-read or I would throw it on a coffee table when friends are coming over so that somebody can have a few good laughs.

The poster included is perfect and is currently on the wall in my room. It's not big enough to read from far away, which kind of stinks, but it is good to have up somewhere. Makes me smile when I see it up on the wall.

Overall, I'm pleased with this purchase. There is more content than expected and everyone who has read it really seems to enjoy it. The comics are detailed and are easily understood, even for people who have no cats. The book itself is well made, and is very colorful. Really going to enjoy showing this to more and more people.

Hope this helps!

Still alive despite being a new cat owner

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2021

Verified Purchase

I may need to pick up volume one so that I can be fully educated on whether or not my cat is plotting to kill me. The evidence points towards yes, but there are moments of affection that may be intended to lower my guard. As usual, The Oatmeal delivers on quality content and this collection is superb.

Purchase at your own peril.

Got this as a gift for a friend. I thought it was a fun read, but in between it arriving and my wrapping it, I found the cat ominously tucked up in a corner with it. Cats are now aware of this and will likely adapt their plans accordingly. I fear I may not last much longer; she's scratching at the door as I type. Purchase this book at your own peril.

Not suitable for children

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 19, 2019

Bought for my 9 year old son who us cat mad. Good job I read it before I wrapped this Christmas gift. The whole book was excellent until the chapter "how to tell if your cat is gay". At no point in the description did it say not suitable for children. My son is not stupid and we are a very open family regarding relationships however the illustrations had a cat who had spelled out in cat biscuits " I heart penis". Hence he will now not get this book for several years. Disappointed

Funny apart from the negative gay vibes.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 26, 2020

Verified Purchase

Bought for 13 year old son, and it’s perfect for his sense of humour and love of cats... apart from.... as I’ve seen mentioned before, the section on ‘How to tell if your cat is a raging homosexual’. Not sure how it made it to print when talking about examining the cat for gay demons and how to scare them away. Talk about perpetuating homophobia! I’ve torn this section out of the book.

Hilarious. A MUST for cat owners!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 1, 2019

Verified Purchase

I bought this for a relative as a Christmas present but had a read before wrapping it up. I've never actually "laughed out loud" whilst reading before but this book made me on several occasions. There are quite a few chapters in this book. The "How to tell if your cat is plotting to kill you" chapter is only 2-3 pages long. Others include, "How to tell if your cat thinks it is a mountain lion", "How to tell if your cat is a raging homosexual", and there is a seven-day episode comic of 2 cats called Bob which is mostly set in the office of their workplace. It is a great read and I'd recommend it for any cat owner. It took me about 40 minutes to go through so it's not very long but still worth every penny.

The book may be great, the presentation is not. As you can see from the picture, the front and back cover is quite grubby and heavily scratched/marked. This was bought as a gift which I'm unlikely to be able to give due to its poor quality.
