I received a complimentary copy of this book from Reedsy Discovery. I voluntarily chose to read and post an honest review.
What a coincidence, I have a cat who thinks he’s a puppy too! I swear mine barks. Since I have an unusual cat, I was thrilled to read My Cat Thinks He’s a Puppy by Patricia Allieri.
The cat in the story loves to play hide-and-seek, but he always peaks. Wow, you think you could trust a cat not to sneak a peek. My cat loves to chase a ball like the kitty in the story. I wonder if that cat returns them -mine doesn’t.
The kitty in the story does something my cat would never do—get in a pool of water voluntarily. It would be so much fun to see my cat dive in a pool, swim laps, or (even take it one step farther) go surfing or paddle-boarding with me. I’ve witnessed videos of cats doing just that, but mine seem to suffer from aquaphobia (fear of water).
Cats love to explore, but what they love more is naps. I’ve adopted several cats, and (depending on the time of day) you’ll find them napping in different locations. However, when the humans converge on the couch at night, someone will have a furry friend on their lap. And that means you’re there until they wake up. Cats make the rule, don’t you know!
My Cat Thinks He’s a Puppy by Patricia Allieri is very short in length, making it perfect for Amazon’s recommended audience of 3 to 7-year-olds. Your child or class will be eager to share all the fun things their cat does. Maybe you’ll get some children to run off to teach their cat how to act like a dog. I would start with “stay” first. All my cats mastered that one on the first try.
Novel Varius did a fantastic job on the illustrations. They are worthy of 5 stars! The whole book deserves 5 stars!

My Cat Thinks He's a Puppy by Patricia Allieri – This was an Amazon freebie! I had a cat who would play fetch, so this made me smile. Happy Reading!

Another book that I have been wanting to read for a while from the children's section. Unfortunately it really didn't fit the expectations that I had for it but since of its gorgeous and brightly color illustrations that are full-page as well as the fact that I can still see this an interesting story for kids I feel I can grudgingly give it two stars.
My Cat Thinks He's Puppy is a story about a girl who has a cat that she feels does nothing cat but everything more like a puppy thus she calls him Puppy-Cat sadly. Each page she gives the cat some type of adjective before explaining another aspect of his personality in which he is like a dog until coming to the big finale in which she can actually see him for a cat since apparently no dog would do what this cat does. Unfortunately the majority of the things that Puppy-Cat does that makes him not a cat are actual things my own cats do or others with cats have their cats do while the great big secretive finale isn't just what cats do as dogs do it too although the bigger they are the more difficult it may be.
Otherwise the book is really repetitive and formulaic in the whole telling with just a few changes to add the next "evidence"against this poor cat. But it does have a nice rhyming and rhythm format so will make for a decent reader to younger readers.
All in all it was an okay book but definitely not one that was impressive in explaining how this child could be so confused about her cat being a cat.
