This book is hilarious at times. The title is spectacular: I mean, a self-help book for cats, come on! :)
I enjoyed the illustrations, I liked the format (the various quizzes and stuff). My favourite part remains the first chapter.

If you are looking for a fun, easy read, that´s the book for you! You might feel the need to update your résumé afterwards, because it has a whole lot of corporate tools.

Do you like cats? :)

Too funny! This woman somehow must have met my cat! She has him pegged completely. A must read for cat people (not owners--dogs have owners, cats have staff!)

I do hope cats don't need this. If you have to think of ways to be cool, you're not cool.

It was somewhat funny though.

The book does a fairly good job of satirizing the the various self-help books and themes that have come out over the last 20(?) years. Nice application to how a cat might look at the concepts in these books.
