Your Cat: Simple New Secrets to a Longer, Stronger Life

May 1, 2009 By: Sparkle Catcomment

What first drew me to this book was that the cover boasted, “Answers your cat food questions.” Unfortunately, it didn’t answer my cat food questions, which were, “Why don’t they make mouse-flavored cat food?” and “How come no one has packaged crunchy cricket cat treats?”

Warriors: Power of Three – Sunrise

May 1, 2009 By: Sparkle Catcomment

Don’t expect everything to be neatly tied up at the end of the “Power of Three” series. It leaves you asking almost as many questions as it answers.

Cat Wrangling Made Easy

April 19, 2009 By: Sparkle Cat1 Comment

Multitasking is bad — but then there’s multi-catting, which is very good, if a human knows what he or she is doing. This book is a great instruction manual for humans living with multiple cats, whether that means 3 or 13.

Dewey: The Small-Town Library Cat Who Touched the World

March 4, 2009 By: Sparkle Catcomment

Fate dropped Dewey Readmore Books in a library’s return book slot, but it was up to Dewey himself to make the most of his situation.

Cats Rule: The Rules, Wisdom, and Witticisms that go Along with Being a Cat

February 20, 2009 By: Sparkle Cat1 Comment

I loved the title to this book but felt the content left a little to be desired.

Purrles of Feline Wisdom

January 31, 2009 By: Sparkle Catcomment

Here is another book by that human, Bob Lovka, who apparently believes that he can speak for us cats (and occasionally dogs, too).

Warriors: The Power of Three #5 – Long Shadows

December 1, 2008 By: Sparkle Catcomment

The fifth book in the Warriors “Power of Three” series finally makes up for the lack of drama that plagued a good portion of the previous four. This one is jam-packed with intrigue, danger and mystery.

Purr More, Hiss Less: Heavenly Lessons I learned from My Cat

November 1, 2008 By: Sparkle Catcomment

After spending a lot of time observing her cats (always a fine activity for humans), the author has come to the conclusion that there is a lot to learn from her feline friends. Well duh, I could have told her that.

Warriors: The Power of Three #4 – Eclipse

October 1, 2008 By: Sparkle Catcomment

Overall, The Power of Three series of Warriors has been slow to get moving. Once Firestar’s grandchildren were established as the protagonists of this series, each book has been based around one major adventure as the plot thickens.

Windrusher and the Trail of Fire

September 1, 2008 By: Sparkle Catcomment

If you are not familiar with Windrusher (I wasn’t before this book), he is a cat who visits with ancient feline ancestors and gods in his dreams, and like most of us, has a psychic connection with other cats and with his humans.

Chemo Cat

July 24, 2008 By: Sparkle Catcomment

Sometimes the real life cat stories I read are sad because the cat dies at the end, so I liked this one right away because the cat featured here does not die, but survives after being diagnosed with breast cancer and going through chemotherapy.

Warriors: Power of Three #3 – Outcast

July 1, 2008 By: Sparkle Catcomment

So far, the Warriors “Power of Three” series has been only mildly eventful mdash; there’s been a little fighting, lives have been in peril, but as of now there are no major deaths and no cliffhangers.

Cat Be Good

June 13, 2008 By: Sparkle Catcomment

I’m not sure how my human ran across this book, since seems to be published by an exceedingly small imprint. But I’m glad she found it because it has quite a bit of excellent advice about cat behavior.

The Best Cat in the World

May 29, 2008 By: Sparkle Catcomment

I was a little surprised to discover that this book is not about me!

The Catlady

April 20, 2008 By: Sparkle Catcomment

I’m glad to see that this author took a vacation from writing about pigs (he wrote the book on which the movie Babe was based) to focus on a much more worthy creature — us cats, of course.

Cat Vs. Cat

April 14, 2008 By: Sparkle Cat2 Comments

Here it is in book form—proof that humans are stupid beyond words! Why else would they need someone to tell them really basic stuff like cat hierarchy and territory, how to set up a litter box and the right way to set out our food?

Cats for Dummies

March 20, 2008 By: Sparkle Catcomment

They really should have called this book Cats for Humans, since almost without exception, humans are dummies when it comes us kitties.

The Cat Owner’s Manual

February 14, 2008 By: Sparkle Catcomment

Humans really are an odd bunch. While we cats (and other animals) do a pretty good job of taking care of ourselves and understanding our bodies and behaviors, humans can’t seem to make a move without a manual of some sort.

Carbonel, the King of the Cats

February 13, 2008 By: Sparkle Cat1 Comment

We cats are magical creatures, so it’s no surprise that so many stories about us involve magic.
Take this book, for example.

Warriors: Power of Three #2 – Dark River

February 1, 2008 By: Sparkle Catcomment

My human obligingly snatched me a copy of this the very day it became available and read it to me immediately. Frankly, I would rather have had her tossing me a twist tie instead of yammering on for hours on end, but I do have to admit that listening to the latest in the Erin Hunter Warriors series was time well spent.

How to Work Like a Cat

January 31, 2008 By: Sparkle Catcomment

We cats are natural CEOs. Think about it: we delegate all the day-to-day stuff like buying food and changing the litter box to flunkies. We spend our days dreaming up big ideas. We’re good at both catching details and seeing the bigger picture.

Feng Shui for Cats by Cats, for Cats

January 24, 2008 By: Sparkle Catcomment

I believe the cats who wrote this book did so just to show off their vast knowledge, and perhaps to also put their editorially minded human to work.
