Cats once were proud, shrewd, independent animals who lived life on our own terms. But then came a life of domestication, comfort and free health care. And now cats are in danger of losing our sense of adventure completely. Fluffy and Bonkers say it's time to fight back and regain control of your rightful place as ruler of the roost once again. Cats once ruled the alleys, galleys and the valleys. Rodents trembled in fear. Birds steered clear. Cats took chances. Some lived fast and died young... We were on the prowl. But then came a life of domestication that was simply too good to pass up. Humans gave us everything we desired, from ear massages and shelter from the rain to cuddle sessions and free health care. In return, they were permitted to bask in the majesty of our presence. It seemed like a fair trade. Or was it? Has domesticity really been good for cats? What has become of our sense of adventure, our sense of independence? Did you know that because of boredom and indolence, the average feline today uses up a mere 2-3 of its 9 lives? Fluffy and Bonkers think its time to get out of the comfortable back seat of life and regain control of your destiny. They created this manual to teach discerning cats how to wake up a human when they want to get fed, how to stare like a pro, how to carry yourself in a catfight and - most importantly - how to get away with practically anything. With The Devious Book for Cats you can return to the noble creature you once were and assume your rightful place as the ruler of your household once again.… (más)

An instruction manual for cats written by cats. Fluffy and Bonkers give tips and dos and don'ts for a variety of situations that cats face in their daily lives of coexisting with humans.

Consider it a 'Dear Abyssinian' meets 'Hints from Havana Brown' helping guide. Covering such topics as 'The Art of Swiping Food', 'The Laws of Petting', 'Kitty Litter, Explained' and more. All to help the feline keep the upper paw in their domicile.

This is actually a parody (as stated in the title) of a self-help manual and is pretty tongue-in-cheek. A fun book that can be read in bits and pieces. There are also short bios on the writers in the back of the book.

Fun!! ( )

I received this little gem as a Christmas present from my sister, and while I don't generally read much humor/parody, I knew I was going to love this book! With chapters such as "Reasons You Meant to Do That," "Kitty Litter Explained," "For Black Cats - Making the Most of Superstition," and ""Getting Away With It," The Devious Book for Cats is the perfect book for any cat lover (and her cats, of course!)

The authors have expertly captures most of the cat-isms and behaviors we all know and love, as well as some interesting insights into subjects such as cats throughout history (with a special emphasis on Egypt,) and the big cat relatives of domestic cats.

The Devious Book for Cats is freakin' hilarious! Word to the wise though: read it when you are alone, in the privacy of your own home. If you read this book in public, you will be pointed at and talked about, because there is no way to read it without loud chortling and guffaws - consider yourselves warned, people!

This is hysterical, and the authors really get cats. The funny is not a surprise; the authors write for "The Onion". However, it was a delight to read something that really did sound true to life for the ways cats think. I strongly recommend this for cat- and book-lovers! ( )

A great book. filled with all sorts of advice on different methods of sleeping, how to wake up your person and get food, and tales of great moments in feline history. ( )
