This book is hilarious and gives a real insight into a cat’s mind. I laughed out loud every time I read it. My cat actually looked at me like I was being serious when I said ‘you’re adopted.’

The timing of the meows and the descriptions of human behavior are spot-on. My cat has started to mimic the book’s tone when I’m not looking.
