It seemed, at first glance, that I fit squarely into the target audience for this book. I like cats, I like comic strips, and I like humor. And it's not like my tastes are all that high-class: I still often find LOLcats funny. But this book, alas, is not particularly funny. I suppose I should have been somewhat cautious when I realized it was by the cartoonist behind Sylvia, which is often just a half-step away from actual humor. And thus it is with this book. Parts of it - such as the woman raised by cats or the mind games cats play - are almost funny, which is in some ways more disappointing than something that is all-out unfunny. And I think the worst part was that I could spot jokes I know other people would find funny. I could imagine certain friends of mine laughing at various lines, particularly if read out loud. So maybe I wasn't the target audience after all. ( )

"Your worst nightmare....Cats with Attitude!"

Hilarious. BTW, Cats With Attitude is the title of another of Hollander's books.

Quote is adapted from "The Santa Clause," which has nothing to do with this book, but summed it up so well! ( )
