Je moje kočka šílená? Kéž by to bylo tak jednoduché! Vaše kočka je nejspíš úplně normální – v kočičím slova smyslu.

Po přečtení Kočka: dopadne vždy na všechny čtyři? budete vědět, proč se o nás kočky otírají, jak správně držet kočku v náručí, jak dokážou kočky vyskočit na kuchyňskou linku, aniž by potřebovaly sebemenší rozběh, a proč nám koušou svetry. Uznávaní odborníci, zvěrolékař Marty Becker a Gina Spadaforiová, vás zasvětí i do těch nejmenších detailů kočičí duše. Může se stará kočka naučit novým kouskům? To se vsaďte! Čekáte miminko? Není důvod dávat kočku pryč. A co koťátka? Dozvíte se vše, co jste chtěli vědět o kočičím sexu, ale báli jste se zeptat. Naleznete také odpovědi na otázky, které jitří vaši zvědavost: Proč kočkám ve tmě svítí oči? Co způsobuje, že kočky tak blázní po šantě kočičí? Může zvědavost opravdu kočku zabít? Máte otázky? Tato kniha vám na ně nabídne odpovědi. Dopadnou kočky vždy na všechny čtyři? Přečtěte si to!

Basically, it comes down to this: cats are awesome!

[Maïté Ismail · Rating 5 out of 5]

Een boek vol humor en waar veel boeiende vragen worden beantwoord. Echt aangenaam om te lezen en je leert veel bij.
"Vergeet het maar dat je een kat ooit volledig zult doorgronden. De kans is groter dat je de belastingwetgeving begrijpt." Pagina 11.

I've had cats my whole life, I currently have 6. You can learn a lot by just observing them. I found this book informative and amusing. Learned a few things I didn't know.

[MK · Rating 4 out of 5]

There are some pretty good tidbits of information in here about cats, all done in a humorous and lighthearted manner. From little trivia facts, to general advice on how to take care of your cat, to whether things are fact or myth, etc. It was an enjoyable little book to read, since I’m a cat lover.

[Cathy Savage · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was both an informative and entertaining read. Although I have had cats for a very looong time I still learned something from this book of questions. Anyone new to living with felines would learn something from it. I just read this at bedtime so it took a few days but if i had the time I could have powered through it a lot faster.

Informative and entertaining. If you love cats, you’ll enjoy this quick little read and maybe learn a thing or two about your furry little friends.

Good, but not a great deal that can't be found in the Cat Lore and Catwatching classics by Desmond Morris (who is a better writer & less tainted by consumerism).

Fajna książka ale niestety część wiedzy jest przestarzała

[Rach · Rating 3 out of 5]

Actually quite informative 😂
I ordered multiple things for my cat while reading this to hopefully improve his quality of life after learning about what cats need to be happier.

[RedGhost · Rating 2 out of 5]

Light reading, some fun facts, only few new things if you've read few more detailed ones. OK for borrowing and light afternoon read or as a gift for complete newcomers. Or for tweens/teens, its Q&A form could fit them well.

[Laurie · Rating 4 out of 5]

An alternate title for this book could be “Trivial Pursuit: Cats Edition”. All those weird little things cats do get explained here: what exactly is a hairball, why do cats eyes glow at night (it’s not really lasers), who invented kitty litter, why they knead on you, why they pee on your pillow when you go away for a few days. Each entry is short; one or two pages. It’s a quick, fun read for cat lovers, and the information is solid.

Dit is een schattig klein boekje. Het is opgedeeld in kleine hoofdstukjes, elk hoofdstuk is een vraag + antwoord. Het is wel duidelijk dat de schrijvers Amerikaans zijn. In Nederland kun je prima je kat naar buiten laten, maar in Amerika niet, dus adviseert de schrijver om katten binnen te houden. Voor de rest is dit leuk om te lezen & ik beveel het zeker aan als je van katten houd en er misschien nog niet zoveel over ze weet.

[Michelle · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book answers a lot of cat questions (I learned from it) and if you don't know a lot about cats you'll learn a lot. It annoyed me because one of the authors also wrote Cats for Dummies, and a lot of the content was copied word for word from that book. I would've preferred more questions not from CFD so I'd get more information.

[Mehsi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ik vind het altijd leuk om over katten te lezen, het is het enige wat ik kan doen, want ik ben allergisch voor katten. :( Het boek was leuk, ik vond de grapjes geinig. Het was af en toe serieus, maar vaak waren er ook grapjes gemaakt over dingen.

[Amber · Rating 3 out of 5]

Some very interesting information that my kids and I enjoyed reading. Humor breaks up what could otherwise be a drone of information although you do have to overlook some grammatical errors that was missed by the editor.

[Alexandra · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wonderful book! Not only was it extremely informative but it also threw in some humor - which is always good! So if you're looking for a "Cats for Dummies" book, I would definitely recommend this one. If nothing else, you'll get a good laugh out of it. :) 5 stars!

[Shelley Pearson · Rating 4 out of 5]

Many bad puns.

[Gwen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although I am not a cat person, I do love animals and this was quite informative as well as interesting; sometimes humorous too.

[JoAlice · Rating 5 out of 5]

This books is worth the read. I didn't want to rush through it. Has a lot of good info.

[Aislin · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you are a cat lover or cat owner you can relate to these.

[Shannon Wyss · Rating 3 out of 5]

It won't change your life. But a quick, interesting read.
