Why Cats are Assholes


Book Description

Most people love cats. They’re fluffy, playful, and can be a joy to have as a companion. However, they can also be huge assholes. So what can you do? How do you deal with a roommate who always seems to be plotting to kill you? While we all love sharing adorable photos of kittens, these frisky felines are known more for marching to the beat of their own drum than abiding by the rules. From running around your home at two in the morning, knocking everything off your shelves, or taking up most of your bed, these furry critters can be immensely selfish and disrespectful to those who give them endless love and affection. Why Cats Are Assholes is up for such a challenge. From studying their history all the way back to ancient Egypt, comedian Liz Miele—the daughter of veterinarians—digests the cat psyche to try and understand why they do the things they do, and how we, as their loyal servants, can handle domestic bliss with them around. With the help of her cat Pasta, Miele breaks down the common behaviors of cats in an attempt to try and better understand their plan of attack (if there is one), as well as what we can do to better prepare ourselves. Whether you have one, two, or twelve fur babies, Why Cats Are Assholes is the ultimate guide to better understanding your pet’s behavior while taking back your home from these domesticated terrorists.

I couldn't wait for this book to come out, simply because I was dying to know what happens next with Cat and Bevidere. I wasn't disappointed, Tracy really ended this series on a amazing note. WOW, this story blew me away, and I could not put it down until the very satisfying end. I love Bedivere and Cat and find them among the most interesting characters I have read. You'll love the roller coaster ride! What I truly like is the stories never go in the direction I would expect. These stories are in my "to be read time and again" file. If I could get it more than five stars this would be the series! This was such a fantastic series. Never had I read one that hit me so profoundly.

For a couple of days I hadn't been able to put the book down - it draws you in, Mrs Posey has the knack to enthralled the reader with her confident passionate writing. This is a great trilogy and it has a beautiful ending with so much drama, suspense and intrigue and love the middle. It keep me through a couple of nights not wanting to put it down. It was worth it! This book never went the way I expected. There were numerous plot twists that made this an AMAZING story!! Bedivere and Catherine are wonderfully complex and flawed beings. I usually find it very easy to put a book down when I am reading it and to walk away from a book once I am done with it. Not so much this time.
