Conversations With My Cat is exactly what it sounds like—hilarious, weirdly insightful, and full of those deep, ridiculous thoughts every cat owner has had but never voiced out loud. The book bounces between philosophy, life’s big questions, and, of course, cat-induced chaos, all wrapped up in a witty and charming dialogue between man and feline. I absolutely loved how it made me laugh out loud while sneaking in some unexpectedly profound moments. If you’ve ever argued with a cat (and lost), you need to get this book.

Conversations with my cat

I requested this because i was intrigued by the title with no idea what to expect - I loved this. Super quick read which made me smile throughout, This book shows exactly what i expect cats would say if they could talk.
Would love a second book!

Thankyou to netgalley, the publisher and the author for the arc

This was a cute book. I did chuckle out loud a few times as I could imagine having some of these conversations with my cats. A cat lover will love this giftable book.

Chucklesome. Rude, playful and oh-so-real.

One for cat owners and lovers. Though you might feel less loving towards them after this.

This is concise but endlessly fun. A series of short conversations between a cat owner, Chuck, and his kitten - Macready (with occasional one liners from Ripley, Chuck's first and older cat). These imagined (one hopes!) chats range from every topic you might have with your pet - from why they don't use the litter tray to what they really think of your name, your job and your worth.

Poor Chuck. I loved the conversation about Macready's name origin, him wanting to change Chuck's name, not knowing where the food was... and just where the heck he's pooing if it's not in the litter tray. Read a few out to my bloke who also found these worthy of a laugh.

Great gift idea, very entertaining.

With thanks to Netgalley for providing a sample reading copy.

Just finished "Conversations With My Cat" by Chuck McKenzie via #NetGalley. It's a fun short read, detailing (presumably) imaginary conversationa between the author and his cat.

If you've ever had a cat, you probably have a solid idea of the tone in this book.

A hilarious, sarcastic, and fun read. If our cats could talk, what would they have to say to us? Bite-size chapters of conversations between the author and his cats are quick reads that are sure to make you laugh. And who doesn't love cats and laughter? Purrfect reading with your favorite cat(s) nearby.

Light, funny, short, cute, silly book about imagined conversations between the author and his cats. Reads like the text for a comic about cats. Very short chapters make it easy to grab and lighten your mood quickly. I picked this book to review because I needed a break from some other pretty horrific books (content is terrifying, not the writing). It was the break I needed. So if you like cats and need a break from reality for a minute, grab this.

Conversations with My Cat is one of the funniest books I’ve read in ages. The dynamic between a wise, world-weary older cat who rules his domain, and a mischievous, overconfident kitten had me laughing out loud on nearly every page. Their exchanges perfectly capture the hilarious frustrations and joys of living with cats. I’ve already recommended this book to all my fellow cat owners, if you share your home with a feline, you’ll instantly relate to these all too familiar antics!

I swear my cat rolled her eyes at me while I read this. 🐱💀 Ever wonder why your cat stares at you like you're an idiot while you open the door for them for the 50th time? This book GETS IT. Conversations With My Cat is a wild ride through politics, poop, and existential feline dilemmas. It’s witty, it’s weird, and it made me snort-laugh in public. Read it if you love cats. Read it if you love sarcasm. Just read it. 🐾📖😂
