Richard Smith (1) (1942–)

Anyone who has owned a cat should read thisl.

Humorous how to guide for the wedding night.

This is meant to be a humourous look at cats. Much of it is set up in a letter “dear Abby” advice-type format, but there are other little snippets, as well. There were a few times I laughed out loud, but really not many. It wasn’t as amusing or enjoyable as I’d hoped, though I am still rating it “ok” (that may be generous). It was a quick read, at least.

A parody of "He's Just Not That Into You", Smith's offering aims to provide cat lovers with reason's why their fur ball doesn't give them the attention they desire. The book is presented in sections (based on kitty related issues) and set in a letter-to-the agony-aunt format, interspersed with fun quizzes and information pages. Great idea, but it fell a bit short of the mark for me.
