Reviews"Cats. They pee on our clothes, bang on our doors all night (and refuse to come in when we open it for them), and turn Christmas trees into their personal jungle gyms.

  • Really Is Written By Cats.. sort of.

    So over time I've sort of burned out on books supposedly written from a cat's point of view. This one is different. It take sno imagination at all to think one of my cats actually did write this. it's hilarious and actually gives a lot on insight into the way cats think. In this case? I bought a number of extra copies for my cat friendly friends.

  • CATS SPEAK OUT

    CATS speak out! The author really knows cats. Looks at cats from their own perspective and entertains us with her acumen. Humorous and realistic. It gives us a view through the eyes of our furry friends, and an accurate one.

  • The Title is Clever and Fits the Content of this Book Perfectly

    This is a very cleverly-written book. Any person who has ever owned and spent quality time with a cat should enjoy this author's "tounge-in-cheek" type of humor. It is a lot of fun to read.

  • Hilarious!

    I found this book in a store, read a few pages in the car, and immediately went back and bought the only other copy. Then I bought several copies on EBAY. I am giving a copy to each of my kids (they all have cats), and several of my friends. I am also going to mark pages with cat names we have known, loved, been driven crazy by. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has a cat or wants a cat.

  • Humor comes in a fur coat

    I first saw this book on the coffee table at my therapist's office. While waiting to see her, I opened "I Could Pee on This" and began laughing out loud. The pictures are adorable and the poetry is spot on about cat-titudes. I gave this book to a new cat owner and my husband gave another to his sister who is plagued by a cat who will pee on anything, any time, any where.

  • I connect with it emotionally.

    The text can make me breakout laughing and move me to tears. It has great appropiate photos. I'm glad that it is hard cover, because it will be read over and over.

  • It's the cat's meow!!!

    I bought the book as a gift for my niece, but had to read it before I gave it to her. It was so funny, and I could just see my cats, Lucy and Cassie, in most of them. It's just a fun book of poems.!

  • A must-have

    This sweetly funny and easy-to-read book of poems puts the reader into the mind of a cat with each short poem 'explaining' why cats do what they do. I laughed at almost every page and ended up giving it as a birthday gift to my granddaughter as a birthday present. It's an endearing little treasure that reminded me of Paul Gallico's "The Silent Miaow".

  • Funny poems and adorable cat photos!

    The book has several funny poems accompanied by cute pictures of cats! I bought this book for my nieces because they love cats, there are a few poems with slightly saucy language, which could be an issue for parents with young children, but my nieces are going to love it. :)
