Editorial Review:

Cats first purred their way into human hearts thousands of years ago, and have been our treasured companions and soul mates ever since. Whether impish kittens, regal adult cats or serene seniors, it’s impossible for us to remain indifferent to them—especially at 4 A.M. when the food bowl runs dry! So smile at their many "c'attitudes," and feed your feline passion by "purr-using" wonderful stories like these:

  • A Russian blue comforts his mourning owner by faithfully bringing her flowers
  • An heroic red tabby Manx saves the family he loves from a lethal gas leak in their home
  • A Devon rex with extraordinary talents—including playing the piano—expands people's notions of what a cat can do
  • A fish-loving shorthair nearly loses his head while scavenging in the garbage disposal—but lives to meow about it
  • A three-legged kitty befriends a lonely third-grade girl, transforming her world and inspiring her future success in life

From playful and hilarious accounts of life with cats to heartwarming tales of cat courage, healing and learning, each touching story in Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul celebrates the special bond we share with our cats.

Editorial Review:

With characteristic wit, self–effacing charm and sheer, exuberant love of a good cat story, New York Times bestselling author Michael Korda and his wife Margaret Korda recount their lives as "cat people," beginning with Margaret's passion for cats (and Michael's reluctant mid–life transformation into a cat person), and introducing readers to a hilarious assortment of people whose life revolves––often to an extraordinary degree––around their cat, or cats, from Cleopatra a transatlantic traveler who found happiness in Paris to Wally, the epitome of feline dignity.

Here are people who just can't say no to another cat, who "world–travel" with their cat, who build their social life around their cats––and of course the cats themselves, for the Kordas celebrate the beguiling power of cats, including many of their own, who have complemented, complicated and changed their lives together over the years. Here are charming, often hilarious and sometimes sad portraits of such cats as Margaret's beloved Irving, whose favorite abode was the Beverly Wilshire Hotel, and Mumsie, who arrived unexpectedly at the door with her two kittens, and special cats like Jake and the gentle Chutney, as well as "difficult" cats like Chui and poor Mrs. Bumble, and Mr. McT., the bully who found love late in life. Here are graceful cats and cats like Kit–Kat that never look before they jump, in short, countless cats the reader will never forget, even those with many cats of their own.

Our favorite calendar 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Every year, I have to purchase more and more copies of "The 365 Kittens A Year" calendar for friends and relatives who have seen my copy and want one of their own. The calendar is standard-size wall-format with a color picture of a kitten or kittens for every day of the year---some posed, some just being naturally irresistible.

365 pictures of kittens makes a great Christmas gift---a smile for every day of year. People from all over the world send in their cutest kitten photographs (we've had our kittens featured for several years running) to be selected for the calendar. If you buy a copy of the 2009 version, there is an entry blank on the first interior page, so that you, too can send in your kitten's photographs for the following year's contest.

The calendar also includes kitten quotations, e.g. "Kittens learn early to listen intently when someone calls them--and then do absolutely nothing," plus advice on kitten care.

Editorial Review:

Tiger kitten posing on a windowsill. Gray kitten play-stalking through the grass. An Abyssinian kitten in a basket, little orange guy in the crook of a tree (not too high up, we hope!), and who's that peeking out of a flowerpot? Featuring the hundreds of winners of the 14th Annual Kittens of Distinction Contest, 365 Kittens-A-Year is the most chock-full-of-kittens calendar for the kitten lover.

It's a flurry of tiny pink noses, perky ears, soft fuzzy tails, and sweet kitten expressions. Kittens snoozing, kittens slinking, kittens snuggling, kittens rolling in the grass, kittens just being their adorable selves. They're the cutest of the cute.

Are you a cat lover yet? 5 out of 5 stars.
16 of 16 people found this review helpful.

This is a big volume with enough cat stories to make your head spin... Cats are not like dogs - they have their own rules and they demand respect from their owners. But they are also your good friends who will purr you to sleep if you treat them with the love that they demand. Most of the stories in this book are amusing and uplifting, some of them are also heartbreaking, but all of them are entertaining. If this book makes you yearn for more cats stories, you will be well served by the series of Why Some Cats are Rascals ( Book 3)

Editorial Review:

We are all crazy about our mysterious cats.  Sometimes they are our best friends; sometimes they are aloof.  They are fun to watch and often surprise us.  And they are always well loved members of our families.

 

This new book from Chicken Soup for the Soul contains the best 101 cat stories from the company's extensive library.  Readers will revel in the heartwarming, amusing, inspirational, and occasionally tearful stories about our best friends and faithful companions - our cats.

 

The first Chicken Soup for the Soul book was published in 1993, and became a publishing industry sensation, ultimately selling eight million copies.  Since then, more than 150 Chicken Soup titles have been published, selling more than 100 million copies.  

Chicken Soup for the Soul has won dozens of awards over the past 15 years, and its founders, Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen have become celebrity motivational speakers and authors.

It's about cats, cats, and more Cats. 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I had read this book before and loved it, but when I met Boris, a real, live version of Rum Tum Tugger, I had to buy a copy to show his owner.
It is amazing how little had to be done to turn these poems into a great musical comedy. I am, of course, talking about Cats. Most of the poems went directly into the show without any change whatever in their wording, and only three songs were added. Let's give full credit to Mr. Webber, It took a musical genius to do that, and one of the added songs, Memories, could stand alone as a masterpiece in any company, but most of the delight of the show comes from the wonderful feline characters created in this book.
Jennyanydots, Old Deuteronomy, Gus the theatre cat, Spindleshanks, Bustipher Brown, McCavity, Mr. Mistofflees, Mungo Jerry, and Rumpleteaser all moved effortlessly from page to stage with no changes. That has to be some sort of record. If you loved Cats (the show) you need to read this book. If you love cats (the critters) you'll want to read this book. If you like poetry, you should read this book. If you like dogs, read the battle of the Pekes and the Pollicles. (You can skip over the part about the intervention of the great rumpus cat.)
It was written for his godchildren, but it's a great read for everyone. It's not expensive, so get it to read to your children, but read it for yourself first.

Editorial Review:

Eliot’s famous collection of nonsense verse about cats-the inspiration for the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats. This edition features pen-and-ink drolleries by Edward Gorey throughout.

Bad Cats only bigger 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

Just like the desk sized calendar, this wall calendar of Bad cats is a great gift for someone who loves cats, or for yourself! There's room for keeping note of appointments (not a lot, but some), and every month has one main Bad cat, with each day having it's own much smaller Bad cat with sayings, comments or 'faux paws'. This helps you keep track of the days -- but for keeping track of how many times you'll smile or laugh out loud you are on your own!

Editorial Review:

Sweet? Nope. Lovable? Uh-uh. Cuddly? Not a chance. You know how cats are the most popular pets in the country? Well, these are the exceptions. Adapted from the hugely popular New York Times bestseller Bad Cat, this calendar features hundreds of off-kilter kitties in terrifying full color.

Oh-so-oblivious to their own offensiveness, here are sneering cats, snarling cats, spaced-out cats, intoxicated cats, overfed cats, scrawny cats. Cats fraternizing with canines, cats in silly hats, cats licking unmentionable places, cats dancing like lunatics. And lots of little kittens who've totally overplayed the "cute" card. Can you say "b-a-a-a-d"?

Another triumph for common sense! 4 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

I only gave the book four stars rather than five because it's pretty repetitive and does not exactly read well. The message is presented on almost every page: "If this is what's wrong with your cat, feed it meat." But I suppose if the book is used as a reference book rather than something to be read in one sitting, it's an excellent resource.

A few years ago I adopted a street kitty who must have starved for much of his life because his "hungry button" was broken. He could not get enough of the crunchies. He gained a bunch of weight and then we noticed that he had become a water-drinking maniac: he would drink for 15 minutes in a row. His vet suggested that he was pre-diabetic and that I switch him to diabetic cat food. He didn't like it. I stopped the crunchies thinking that he could do without the carbs and switched to non-grocery hippie dippie canned food, the stuff with the cranberries, etc.

It didn't take very long for the weight to drop and for his coat to become very silky and smooth. And he hardly ever drank water again. I mean never! It was amazing. His good health was obvious.

About a year after I changed his diet, the pet food contaminations occurred and we all started to learn what's really in those crunchies: sawdust and other non-nutritious dust pressed into shapes then sprayed with rancid aerolized grease. Gross.

And now I think I will switch to frozen raw stuff only and cut out the cranberries altogether. When left on their own, cats won't touch cranberries!

This book contains great information that's based on a careful look at how and what cats really are and that questions the "facts" forced upon us by Big Pet Food, Incorporated. I recommend it to anyone, especially to anyone who has a cat that drinks a lot of water or has chronic health problems.

Editorial Review:

In this controversial new book, dedicated veterinarian Elizabeth M. Hodgkins, D.V.M., Esq. raises the alarm regarding the dry food we feed our cats and the nutritional diseases that result. Your Cat: Simple New Secrets to a Longer, Stronger Life turns today’s conventional wisdom of cat care on its head with completely new, yet remarkably easy-to-follow guidelines for every cat owner.

 

From kitten-rearing to the adult cat’s middle years to caring for the geriatric cat, Dr. Hodgkins explores the full spectrum of proper cat care, as well as the many deadly feline diseases that are rampant. This indispensible manual belongs on every modern cat owner's shelf.

Editorial Review:

Cats can be difficult to understand. They often seem secretive, aloof, and maddeningly independent. But they also earn deep love and devotion from millions of cat owners who cherish that incomparable feline spirit. For cat lovers everywhere, pet expert Arden Moore explores cat behavior in an inviting, browsable Q&A format. She answers the questions that come up again and again among devoted cat owners, opening an intriguing window on the feline brain and physiology.

How, for example, can a cat in deep sleep three rooms away from the kitchen come zooming in within seconds of the refrigerator door opening? It's not just instinct. Cats really do have amazing hearing. Their ears are perfectly designed to pick up more sound vibrations and at higher frequencies than either humans or even dogs. And what does it mean when a cat's tail swishes slowly from side to side? That cat is probably getting ready to pounce on a mouse—either a toy or the real thing. Tail swishing is part of the cat's predatory positioning.

In addition to explaining why cats do what they do, Moore shows readers how to prevent many common feline problems. Her practical advice and workable solutions help cat owners work with their pets to banish bad litter box habits, nighttime howling, and destructive clawing. Even finicky eaters can become feline gourmands with a little gentle encouragement.

There are hundreds of tiny quirks and kooky habits that make a cat a cat. This sturdy, fun-to-read handbook explains those catticisms and opens every cat lover's eyes to the complexity of feline behavior. To know them is to love them!
