A worthy book and a way of life to emulate if you adore cats and have a sneaking admiration for their graceful ways.
What a delightful approach to life. Live Like Your Cat makes very good sense to me and I’m sure all cat lovers will enjoy the authors wonderful, lighthearted approach. It certainly makes you think about life’s priorities.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing a preview copy.
Cat-zen spiritualism, a niche genre, true. If I was really taking Garnier's advice, I wouldn't be writing this review but what the heck, I peed in the litter tray and coughed up a fur ball...does that count?
A very enjoyable and interesting book on cat behavious and how it could be applied to our lifestyle. It was fun to read and gave some food thought.
Recommended to cat lovers.
Many thanks to the publisher for this ARC
I requested this book as I was interested in the premise of living life like your cat. As I am a cat owner I found this book really interesting. There were various formats including apt quotes to do with cats. A most enjoyable book.
Funny humorous book about cats and what we can learn from them. An enjoyable read that is contemplative and insightful in places. Definitely leaves you thinking about your life and your attitude towards it.
Consider the cat, strolling through life without a care in the world. Stretching and napping in the sun, flip-flopping between being an attention junkie and a cold shoulder, fond of being fed but completely capable of fending for themselves, seemingly living a pretty stress-free existence, apart from the odd hairball.... Now consider adopting some of their traits as part of your own life. Apart from licking yourself clean and pooping in a box of gravel in the utility room. Obviously.
Part self-help guide, part lifestyle guide, this is a surprisingly thought-provoking fun book, as there is genuinely sage feline advice in here! A great purchase for stress heads and cat lovers everywhere.
An entertaining read for all cat lovers. Fascinating insight to a cats entire day. How they spend time, how to learn from their cleverness. To read, rest, nap, get the most out and of a day and feel better. Realise your time can better spent without guilt. Feel serene, relaxed and happier.
Loved this so much. Cats know a thing or two, don’t they!
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read this book!
I have long envied my cats; who hasn't, as they're heading off to work, a family or friend commitment, grocery shopping or any of the other million things that pull us away from home, looked back and seen puss sleeping in the sun and wished to be them, or at least more like them? This book hones into that desire, showing us how to let go of the negative and simply be. I admit, I don't read many self help books, but there was something innately calming about even thinking of letting the stress go.
This book has some lovely quotes from famous cat people, and a reoccurring imprint of a little black cat that made for charming stops. I read the kindle edition, but I'd like to give this as gifts for Christmas, I imagine the hardcover would be quite cute. It's a quick read also, without hashing over the same ideas or thoughts.
An idea we can all embrace, four stars.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for this review copy which was given in exchange for an honest review.
I have cats, so thought this would be a good book to read. I love books like this – light-hearted, amusing, easy to read and taken with a pinch of salt! ‘Let Your Cat Be Your Life Coach’ is the tag line, and after reading this it had me thinking that was such a good idea. I’ve watched my cats for years thinking what an easy life they have. What do they do all day? – sleep, eat, have a bit of a clean, maybe a bit of play if they’re in the mood and then repeat the cycle all over again. It’s not exactly hard work! This book teaches you how to be more like your cat, and to be honest if I can have the lives that my cats have, then pass me the scratching post!
A great present for any cat lover, or for anyone who wants the free and easy life a cat has! Five Stars!
