Following the success of Cat Getting Out of a Bag, this collection of color and black-and-white comic strips loosely follows the adventures of a pair of cats as they explore the world around them, indoors and out. Adventures include taking a nap, licking a shoe, attacking dust particles, hiding in cabinets, pouncing on fallen leaves, confronting the vacuum cleaner, patrolling the yard, and purring up a stormall adorably rendered in Brown's immediate and irresistible style. Sure to delight anyone who lives with cats and appreciates their sweet and batty behavior, this beautifully packaged gift book is the cat's meow.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Another cat book? Yes! The front and back covers are filled with embedded panels illustrating some typical moments of cat weirdness. It has such a great texture and feel, as if you could pet the cats if you wanted to. [ahem, not that I tried or anything.] The heavy pages and scattered pops of color were a nice touch too.
I'm so happy I stumbled upon Jeffrey Brown's cat-related comics. These books really helped me appreciate my crazy-ass cat's quirks. We started off with a strained relationship....her getting into things and me asking the universe why it had done this to me. Minnie is my first cat. She's not the cat I would have picked for myself. We are more like accidental roommates. A coworker found her, and knowing my soft spot for the denizens of the animal kingdom, passed her off to me. She was a sickly little thing. I nursed her back to health only to find out that she was maybe a tad loopy. I like to think that now we understand each other a little better.
Cats are weird. So is Minnie. It's nice to get this kind of confirmation and be able to laugh about it. - Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5In the past few years it seems like cats and cat related humor have been a popular topic to depict, although not always successfully. While this may not seem like a typical type of book that most folks would want to pick up, Jeffrey Brown has quickly become one of my favorite writers/illustrators after I read The Incredible Change-Bots and its sequel, and he brings his own unique illustration style and observations to the world of cats. And I for one thoroughly enjoyed it (and yes I do have two cats…)If you own a cat, been around a cat, or even just watched a video of cat you’ll realize quickly that Jeffrey Brown quickly captures the essence of almost every cat you’ll ever encounter in this short book (and you’ll wonder if he’s been observing them in your home.) Using minimal words, Brown depicts those everyday little actions of cats and how they interact with the world around them. This book doesn’t have a “story” to it, but instead one or two pages devoted to a specific cat movement, such as how when they’re sitting on your legs and you move they give you that look. You know the one that says your a cushion and you shouldn’t be moving around. Brown captures that look perfectly in just a few short panels, even getting the eye movement just right. Some of my favorite pages are the two cats play fighting each other and then stealing the owners spot on the couch; the battle of the vacuum cleaner; and cat hiding in the cabinet. But the whole book is well done.When I first started reading Jeffrey Brown’s work, one of his autobiographical comics, I have to admit I wasn’t the biggest fan of his loose, sketchy drawing style but it’s grown on me since then. In this book Brown uses the same style he brought to The Incredible Change-Bots–a loose style drawn with markers, to capture the movement of cats. He uses both color and black and white to depict the various habits of cats to great effectiveness often making me wonder if he had been watching my own cats. Brown gets those little details that make the movement, the hesitation, the look in the eye, the puffing of the fur down to a T. Although the cats themselves are not depicted in a photo-realism style, these movements make them come to life.Even if you don’t own a cat, this is still a book that I think of lot of people can get enjoyment out of. Brown does an excellent job of capturing the little nuances and movements that make a cat a cat. I would highly recommend this book to anyone that has ever had a cat, encountered a cat, or just anyone who wanted to know a bit more about cats or someone that just needs a smile on a rainy day. 5 out of 5 stars.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I picked this book up, just browsing the "cat" section at Barnes & Nobles. I couldn't stop laughing. The artist really nailed the character and personality of cats very well in his drawings and scenarios. I even went so far as to show this book to my own cats, because I'm a crazy-cat-lady & lol, my cat Harry freaked out like I was going to give her medicine. I'm not sure what she would rate the book, but I give it five stars!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Cats are so cute!!! Those cats in the book are funny!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Soooooo cute I would recommend to anyone that likes cats and even if you don’t like cats it is still hilarious ❤️❤️❤️
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5His drawings of cats are wonderful. He catches their movements perfectly. His depictions of their weird comic nature is spot on. All cat lovers will see their cats in here!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5hee hee hee, the kitties were all just so cutesy patootsy... ha ha ha!
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I loved this! I got through it very fast and I was surprised when I reached the end. I would love to see more of this.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I love this book, really makes me LOL, too cute also
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5rating: 2.5 the art style wasn't that impressive. it had funny bits but nothing I hadn't heard before from better comics about cats & the like.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5All comics. Cute, quirky and truthful. Cat lovers will understand.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Hilarious. Fascinating artwork; funny for cat owners or anyone who enjoys a good laugh.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I felt like there wasn't much of a narrative to most of these observations. I'm open to the idea that I just don't "get it" because I've never been much of a cat person. Most of my friends own cats, so I was hoping this would give me some insight into their world. Unfortunately not.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I love cats but this was very bleh.
