Happy Cat Day: A Manifesto for an Official Cat Holiday

by Stuart E. Hample

Cat people unite! This book calls for the establishment of a National Cat Holiday. Cats and their people have had enough, constantly hearing about the greatness and superiority of dogs. In this book, best-selling author Stu Hample uses his pen as a sword to argue for Happy Cat Day, a national holiday that will finally give cats the full recognition and acceptance as America’s number one pet. His hilarious text is matched with equally-funny hand-colored cartoon drawings designed to make cat people everywhere stand up and fight for their felines.

Reviews

Tiger Hample, cat extraordinaire, has written a book promoting August 15th as Cat Day. With wit and charm, this cunning cat clearly illustrates why this should be a national holiday. It makes sense to me! Really, the cartoons and captions make this a very humorous book, and although I doubt dogs will appreciate it, most humans, especially cat lovers, will find it quite funny. Go, Tiger!

Funny and sweet. Not a lot of deep philosophy, but great if you are looking to smile. A spunky cat hero in an utterly charming book.

Cats Day is already February 22nd.
