'Business Cat: Hostile Takeovers' by Tom Fonder continues the series of the strange boss with the body of a man and the head of a cat.

Business Cat is the worst boss. He hires employees for the warmth of their laptops. His catlike pawing gets him harassment training. His company is even in danger of failing because his CFO is one of his favorite toy.

This is a funny series, and I like how the cat in a business situation reminds me of poor business behavior. The art is fun and their were some nice surprises along the way.

These books kill me! I love these comics! So relatable for anyone who has ever had a cat, or has ever even known a cat. A 5/5 star read for me!

Thank you to NetGalley, as well as the publisher for providing me with a digital copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review.

This comic has the type of humour beloved by people of all ages. Business cat takes the average office manager and turns it into comedy genius in a very simple way. I love it.

Aw, the last one, I hate to see you go Business Cat! Enjoyable and disturbing as always seeing a Business Cat haha! True to form and a fun read!

The tale of Business Cat! Oh how I love this strips!
Been following them for a while now, and couldn't stop myself from requesting it because the art and the script is just amazing and funny!

Business Cat has the head of a cat and the body of a human, but is accepted as a regular member of society as long as he keeps his clothes on. Despite his tendency to give in to his feline urges (lap sitting, mug swatting, meowing loudly for food when hungry) he is unquestionably leads his company as CEO until his delegation of accounting duties to his toy mouse gets the corporation audited. A very quirky webcomic-turned-graphic novel, but one that cat lovers will "get" for sure.

4.5 stars.

I'd like to thank Andrews McMeel Publishing, Tom Fonder and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I once found some of these comics on Facebook, and they were really great, so I shared that page.

And now, when I found this for free on NetGalley, I knew I had to read this book!

Business Cat is basically a character which has a human body and a cat head. He acts weird (as cats do), but he also speaks with his employees and uses his mind to act smart (he keeps failling, but it's very funny at the same time).

When things are getting out of hand, he is replaced by Howard, a business dog! After this, he is going through a journey where he'll find his true self and new friends.

Although it's comic and funny, it also gives us some important lessons. It's a good book and it deserves to be read!

Business Cat never fails to entertain me - as a proud employee of two cats, there's more than a little bit that I can relate to in here. Let's face it, anyone with a cat knows who's really in charge!
It's not just bits and pieces from his life though, this book has a narrative - a good one - and bonus panels at the back to extend the comics. Definitely a book to buy for anyone in happy servitude to their own feline.

It is a graphic novel created by the author Tom Fonder. “Business Cat: Hostile Takeovers”, the main character is a cat with a human body who is the head of a company. In the comic strips you can see the typical office situations, but with Business Cat reacting to them as cats do usually: sitting on the lap of people, purring, play with a paper ball, etc.

It is a very fun comic, recommended for the general public and for those who love cats, as they will undoubtedly feel identified.

Thanks to Netgalley for sending me the digital version of the book "Business Cat: Hostile Takeovers"

OK, I am not a cat person. I have always owned Howards. But this is hilarious and weirdly heartwarming. The art is simple and engaging, and the narrative is fun and laughingly relatable. Though a sequel to the first book, this one stands alone well. Def recommend to public libraries where graphic novels are popular.

This comic is freakin hilarious! I was literally laughing at every comic strip. If my cat was a “business cat” she would undoubtedly do the same things. Every cat lover should read this comic, and the rest of humanity should too. I love the artwork, I love the story line. The only thing that I didn’t like is that I had to stop reading (because the comic came to an end).

Thank you to Netgalley for the free ARC!!

This was a fun collection of comics showing what would happen if a cat became a business man. It would make a great gift for a cat owner.

Heh. Business Cat cracks me up. I've followed the webcomic for a few years, and it rarely fails to amuse. The same can be said for this book.

If you have ever spent any significant time with cats, you will probably knowingly chuckle your way through this book. Even if you don't like cats, you should get some of the jokes within.

4 highly amused stars for Business Cat: Hostile Takeovers.

Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing me with a DRC of this book.

I got an ARC of this book.

Today was a wonderful day. Part of that being due to getting an award tonight, which meant I was looking for something that I could read under the table and not get caught since award ceremonies can really drag on when one wants to be home in bed reading. This was the perfect choice. The other part was my grandmother surprised me with a computer so you can look forward to more posts in the evening and on the weekend, which depending on how you feel about my reviews might be a good or a bad thing. The combination of this goofy book, a night of feeling special, and an outrageously generous gift will make this a day I will remember for a long time.

My grandmother did hit me while we were at the award ceremony, because I kept laughing out loud and trying to show her some of the strips. She would roll her eyes and mumble about “cats being cats”. If you enjoy cats or making fun of cats, then this book could really make your day a bit brighter. It is goofy in the best possible way. There are very few poop jokes, despite the ability to go there really easily. There are a lot of jokes that will only really hit you if you are a cat person or a dog person. Bird people even get a few special ones in this collection.

I was dying at the idea that the pound/humane society was prison for animals. I have no doubts that is how my dogs saw it when they were there (please rescue!). Outside of the animal humor, I really enjoyed the business humor. I kept comparing Business Cat to my boss and realized how lucky I really am. Though I have left a (fake) dead bird in her office, so maybe I am the business cat in the situation.

Pretty much this book is a quick read and really fun if you are an animal person. There is some basic plot, but nothing all that difficult to follow. This is the second book in the series, but even if you have never read a BC comic before you can pick it up without any fuss. I can see myself buying multiple copies of this book and sending it out for holidays. It really is one of those books that is just pure and wonderful. I wouldn’t worry about offending cat people, despite some of the jokes being at a cat’s expense (looking at you cats that knock things off of tables FOR NO REASON).

If you are looking for a book that will be an easy pick-me-up or just something lighthearted and fun, this is a good choice. I am glad this is one of the webcomics that has been picked up for publishing as it really was worth reading a great number of them in one go.

I mean, it’s weird. But I did get quite a few snickers out of it. All the cat quirks tied in were funny, but I still am not sure I understand the concept. Cats are our bosses? Cats rule the world? Honestly, it sometimes flew over my head, but it was funny.

RATING: 4.8/5

This book was a really great and funny read. With some adult humor sprinkled in it too. This book reminded me of my cat, and all of her crazy shenanigans. All around a really cute and funny read.

This is hilarious. A cat CEO? Yes, please. Other animals in leadership/rising positions? I'll take those, too. I know two business professors in particular who need this book.

Business Cat is CEO of MiaoCo – until his fatal decision of handing over the company’s accounting to his favourite toy somehow backfires! Enter: Howard T. Business Pug who becomes the new boss. But what will Business Cat do without business?

Business Cat: Hostile Takeovers is Tom Fonder’s second collection of his internet gag strip and my first experience with his bonkers character. And… nah.

There’s definitely some funny strips here though: BC smacking paper as they come out the photocopier, walking across someone’s desk, making cute big cat eyes during a business negotiation to get his way, BC sitting on a fence screaming at night. It’s funny because cat-headed BC behaves like a cat but has a human body which accentuates the silliness of cats’ general behaviour – and, as any cat owner will attest, cats is silly billies!

A lot of the gags aren’t nearly as funny though and I’ve never really liked the stop-start rhythm of one-page strips – they don’t really read cohesively in a collection. Some of the jokes are repetitive too – BC knocking stuff over, breaking screens. They either get less funny on repeat or were never funny to begin with. The bonus panels collected at the end too was a really bad formatting idea. You have to flick back to each individual strip to understand the additional panel – why not just add it on to each strip in the first place??

I got some chuckles out of this Bojack-esque comic – BC taking a crap in the cat café, Business Pug lighting up at being called a good boy – but mostly Business Cat: Hostile Takeovers is kinda dull and one-note.
