59 Things You Should Know about Your Cat

by Alison Davies, Namasri Niumim (Illustrations)

With beautiful, bright gouache illustrations and little-known facts about our most mysterious feline companions, this is the perfect gift for all dedicated cat owners.Often a confusing mixture of affectionate and aloof, one minute seeming completely disinterested in you and the next, following you around the house, how much do you really know about your cat? For example, we may think of them as discerning and fussy eaters, did you know that they have very few taste buds and no sweet tooth at all? Or that, like their owners, cats can be either left or right pawed? And, despite their reserved and dignified demeanour, they love nothing more than one of your smelly socks.

I was gi ven this little book as a present. It has lovely colourful cat illustrations by Namasri Niumim and lots of interesting snippets about cats - great to dip into.

Cat mom here, and this book is a little gem! Sure, the internet has loads of info, but there's something special about curling up with a book like this.

It's got a fun, easy-to-read format with illustrations, fun fact points, and all. Informative, simple, and purr-fectly delightful. Five stars from me!

Katten slapen, spelen, eten en slapen vooral.😂 Maar er is veel meer dat er van hen kan gezegd worden en geleerd worden zodat je de lieverds nog beter begrijpt.
Dit boekje vertelt heel kort over 59 feiten die belangrijk if interessant zijn over katten en je krijgt er steeds een leuke tekening bij.
Ik heb dit boekje voor mijn zus gekocht die twee van deze leukerds heeft en ik denk dat ze het heel leuk zal vinden.
Ikzelf heb geen katten en toch vind ik het een heel leuk boekje.

This was a cute book. Some were things I already knew and some were completely new facts. Some were hilarious. Loved the illustrations! I bought this as a gift for a relative that volunteers in a "no-kill" cat shelter, but read it before wrapping up. I hope she shares it with her staff and perhaps those waiting to adopt.

This book makes for a very cute gift idea to all cat lovers, and possibly to children.
The little facts it lists are very interesting and the illustrations are stunning.
It's a quick, endearing read that will make you go: "Awww!" almost every time you turn the page.

Cute little book with random facts about cats. Most of these facts I knew about, but for cat novices, this would be great. Great illustrations too!

[Ella · Rating 4 out of 5]

I must say, I already knew most of it and my cats aren't afraid of cucumbers, they are however afraid of snakes, real or fake.

They art work is stunning and it was a very cute read.

Reading challenge category – 2025 Hoffbensen: Red – Red cover or in the title

A cute, quick read about cats. Each page had a fun fact and a cute illustration. (one of which was that cats are scared of cucumbers. Not Luna -- she LOVES cucumbers).
