The Way of the Cat

Summary: Terrific little book, but don't forget the dogs
Review: This is a wonderful, funny, humorous, cute human self-help book and commentary on the feline nature akin to The Pekinese Who Saved Civilization." There's a bit of cats-versus-dogs bias when Xena says, "Our brains are more like human brains than dog brains are. The order in rank, I believe, is cat brain, human brain, and then dog brain."

My dog however looked over the slight to his canine brothers and sisters and saw the brilliance in Xena's views. Contrast that with we humans, who write books such as The Savage Nation, Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them and Bushwhacked.

Forget the human nonsense and read Xena's book, with amusing quotes from real cats. But how about a little cross-species cooperation and including what dogs have to say about cats? How about teaching dogs and cats to just get along?

Summary: Very funny book
Review: What a great book for anyone who owns a cat. I'm sure you'll recognize your own cat (and yourself) in the observations that are made. This book contains a lot of good information on cat behavior and 'maintenance'. Written from the point of view of her cat, the author writes with insight and humor while sharing the joys of being a cat owner and what the experience can teach us about ourselves. As a person who has six cats, I read it through in one sitting and enjoyed every page.
