If you are considering a cat or are a new cat parent, you might like this title more than I did. This book started off promising. You aren't really looking for an in-depth book when you select a title that has under one hundred pages. I loved the facts and insight that fills almost half of the book. I was a little disturbed by a small number of them but it was fascinating either way. I especially like the cat yoga section. Where it starts to go astray for me was the list of toys most cats do not like and the list, aside from including toys that all of my cats have liked, seemed to be pushing new and luxury items. That trend continues with the pet product directory that fills the latter half of the title. It's a cute gift idea and the layout is beautiful, but the issue with including so many pet products and links in a book is that it's going to become outdated. Still for the price of 2-3 coffees it's an option.

For cat owners who are looking for a more informative read, I'd skip this one.

I love reading books about animals and that's why this one caught my eye. The kitty on the cover is sooooo cute and kind of looks like Muffin, one of our kitties.

The book covers a variety of things about cats:

* The history of cats
* Interesting places you'll find cats (cat cafes, Kitty Island, designer cat house, etc.)
* Cats' superpowers (hearing, sight, smell, etc.)
* Connecting with cats (purring, meowing, purr therapy, etc.)
* Signs of love (kneading, stretching, fun activities to share, yoga poses while holding your cat, etc.)
* Online sites (dating for animal lovers, selfie app for cats, tracking your cat, etc.
* Patterns for DIY feline accessories (shirts, notebook and a totebag)

Throughout the book, there are many colour photographs of cats, poems, sayings and tidbits of information about cats. The book is well-laid out and attractive.

This book is good for anyone who has a cat or who loves cats. If you don't already have a cat, it may convince you to get one.

If this is your first time owning a cat or book read on the subject of cats, you can't go wrong, it is such a good beginners guide to the joy of having a little purrball in your life. However if you have had cats most your life it will feel really redundant as it did not really offer anything new. Points for being adorable and full of cute cat pictures though! Even though it was repeating things I already knew I still enjoyed it!

This book is both visually delightful and informative. It's more than a shiny coffee table book, however, as it contains some real recipes for happiness with your kitty. From Purr Therapy to cat yoga, to just gazing into the beautiful eyes of your feline, Macheteau captures some of the magic that cats possess and why their humans can love them so fiercely. Her message that kitties and humans can be very good for one another is anchored with gorgeous photography and a wealth of additional information and resources.

A lovely book.

If you only want to grab this book for the beautiful photographs, you will get your money's worth but you will be delighted by what else is between these covers. From feline history to health care tips and crafts, this is a very complete compilation of things feline.
I look forward to listening to the included audio files of purring.

I was a bit dismayed about all the apps for cats. As we know, being a cat "owner" or companion comes with a duty to provide your cats with ways to be entertained. My cats were with me on the desk as I was reading this book. I anticipate finding a list of demands conveniently placed here shortly. They may not have opposable thumbs but they can make their desires clearly known.

The book is interesting, entertaining and a joy to page through.

I picked up this interesting title because it just looked so adorable! I needed something light and fluffy to cheer me up from some depressing books I've been reading lately. This book is fun and informative. I am an avid cat lover so this book was perfect to bring me happiness. I would recommend it to anyone just looking for something that brings a smile to your face. There isn't too much deep content and it's a quick read.

Purrfection is a great book for any cat lover. With yoga you can do while holding your cat to ideas to create mindfulness this book is a great way to bring spirituality to you and your pets life. I loved the cover of this book.

Purrfection offers a great deal of insight into cats. It starts out with an overview of cat history and goes over the superpowers and offers advice on important things such as feeding, brushing and what foods to avoid.

It explores our connection to cats and includes the ever popular 'Purr Therapy'.

I especially liked the section "Between the Two of Us' as there's fun things like cat stretching and signs of love. And, Kitty Fashions," is a fun section for us who enjoy crafting.

This book also includes the benefits employers recognize when they allow staff to bring their cats to work. In truth, the majority of bookstores we frequent have cats which roam the isles. So when I want to read a book on cats, I go where I can pet one or two.

This quick read for cat lovers is as informative as it is adorable. I would recommend it to any cat owner who's interested in understanding their cats and also gaining an appreciation for how much cats add to our lives. A great gift for prospective cat owners also!

A book all about cats! What could be better? This cute little book will have your purring with pleasure as you learn all about our feline friends. Copious adorable photos of cats are generously sprinkled throughout the book too.

The author begins by giving a history of cats. Where did they come from and when did they become domesticated? There are many historical misconceptions about cats and you will learn of them here. And, did you know that cat flaps already existed in the fourteenth century? The history of cats is fascinating. The author chose some cat-related poems to include as well. These help the reader understand the place of cats in history.

There is a whole chapter on the Maneki Neko, the famous porcelain cat statues from Japan. These are the good luck cats with the raised paws that are seen everywhere nowadays. There are even cafes in Japan where you can go to meet cats and enjoy their company! Sounds like a lot of fun to me.

Other things you learn in this book include the feline “superpowers,” such as their amazing ability to see in the dark. And what herbs are appealing to cats. (It’s not just catnip.) The book is also packed with good advice. What sorts of foods to avoid giving your cat, ways to make your cat happy and healthy, and more. You even learn how to interpret a cat’s various meows. As any cat owner knows, a cat has a big vocabulary. Then, of course, there is a section all about purring. Why do cats do it and what benefits does it have for cats and their humans. There is even a recording you can download at the book’s web site.

There is advice on how to connect with your cat too. Yes, you can do yoga with your cat. Learn how to interpret their various body language poses too. Cats have a lot of these! This book is chock full of good stuff like this. Did I mention the stunning cat photos? You’ve got to see them! No cat lover can resist them.

Overall, this book was amazing. I loved how much information was packed into such a short space. It’s not a really long book, but there are a lot of details. I learned plenty of things that I didn’t know, even though I have owned cats most of my life. There are so many fascinating details to glean. You can even make cat crafts with patterns provided in the book. Purrfect! I enthusiastically recommend this book for all cat lovers! Your cat will thank you.

I wish there was more to this book. It is essentially a how-to guide for new and prospective cat owners, but for someone who has owned cats all their lives I don't think it will add much. Still, a delightful little book; pictures are great and layout is fun, if overly feminine.

A wonderful addition for the cat lover. I truly think my cat is the happiest 'person' in my house. She's never in a bad mood and is always loving. There is much to be learned from a feline friends and this book helps illustrate all the wisdom they possess.

This book was not only enjoyable to read, but had adorable pictures! I loved the cat mindfulness tips!

An interesting book for cat lovers. The entire book was a joy to read. I particularly liked the cat yoga and cat mindfulness sessions, although I skipped through the cat craft projects - I would have preferred something on cat trees, shelves and walkways. The cat apps was also useful, although likely to be obsolete relatively sooon.

You can feel the fur-love in this book.

A very good book about cats with a lot of interesting information and curiosities.
Even if I read other books about cats and their behaviour it was nice to have them collected in a single book.
The pictures are lovely.
Strongly recommended to cat lovers.
Many thanks to Netgalley and Schiffer Publishing Ltd.

Purrfection is all about everything cat. The book begins with a historical account of cats and their relationships with humans. The next section discusses the interesting biology of cats. Interspersed among the text are beautiful cat photos, quotations, and cat poetry.. Oh, my! and then there's a cat quiz! Other amazing extras in this book include downloadable audio purr files, yoga poses you can do with your cat, interesting cat-focused apps and websites, patterns for cat accessories, and cool cat places to visit. I will buy this book--even though I know a lot about cats already, it has lots of interesting things to learn and use. Purrfect!
