Pusheen the Cat brings everyone joy! We have this book in our YA collection at the public library and it goes out like crazy.

This is a simple fun book to explain the various types of pushpins. These fun cat doodles make people smile and so will this book. It’s a simple read, pretty brainless, but nice to pass the time away with.

I picked out this title for collection development research. There is no story to this book. It's more like a compilations of comic strips or web comic squares. There are different sections where Pusheen takes different costumes and it just has her in different scenarios with a description. Nothing too exciting. Good for any age and is cute.

The Many Lives of Pusheen the Cat by Claire Belton was a very simple and lighthearted comic gift book for all Pusheen fans and cat-lovers, though I can't say I would recommend it to anyone else. The art is real cute, but there simply wasn't much substance, humorous or otherwise. Perhaps I went in with the wrong expectations, but this was just kind of a "meh" read for me.

Who doesn't love Pusheen?!?

This is an adorable picture book/cartoon book introducing the various alter-egos and friends of Pusheen, from Pusheen herself to Pusheenicorn to Pugsheen the Dog. There's nothing deep like a plot here, just adorable pictures, Pusheen facts, and cat puns. This is pure fun for Pusheen's biggest fans. Thank you so much to Gallery Books for indulging my love of Pusheen by providing me with a copy of The Many Lives of Pusheen in return for my honest opinion.

Thank you Netgalley and Gallery books for access to this arc.

I have (gasp) never followed Pusheen the Cat much on the internet though I had seen her images and knew she was “big.” So I viewed reading this book as a way to explore the Pusheen phenomenon and get caught up with who she is. Pusheen is a cat but so much more. She’s a dragon, a dinosaur, a detective, a mermaid, a unicorn, and also has a lot of buddies. As a cat lover and servant, a lot of this rings true and I see aspects of her every day – especially when I rattle the cat food bag. Fans will enjoy seeing more of their favorite cat and I enjoyed getting to know what the fuss-sheen is all about. B-

I had only previously seen the pusheen cat but had never read any of the works. Its such a cute and lighthearted character and you find yourself giggling at some of the cat's doings. This book was enjoyable all through the different personas of pusheen whether it was a cat, dinosaur, pug, unicorn. And the antics of Eating, sleeping, laying around, playing, being a cat. Good length for a book of this style and was a fun uplifting read.
I was given this ARC thru NetGalley for free and this is my personal opinion of the book.

Adorable and charming Pusheen is the star of the show here.
This coffee table style book features quick cartoon panels of Pusheen in many varieties including her being a unicorn, dragon, alien, mermaid, dinosaur, and even dog alter egos.
The lovable gray tabby the internet loves is at it again living life to the fullest,warming hearts and just making your day with her bigger than life personality.
You can't help but love this charming kitty with her quirkiness and charm she will work her way into your heart.

“The Many Lives of Pusheen the Cat” by Claire Belton is a short collection of cartoons featuring Pusheen, a (rather chubby) gray cat featured all over the internet. Don’t expect anything remotely like a plot or story, this is a collection of panels that will all make you smile or occasionally giggle.

This is after all the” many lives of Pusheen”, so expect her various characters. We start with Pusheen, and her take on everyday life around the house, from eating to napping and then back to eating. Pusheenicorn is next, the cat/unicorn hybrid with a rainbow mane and a horn to store snacks. After a brief visit from Super Pusheenicorn we go to Mermaid Pusheen, a cat with a fish tail. Pusheenosaurus, Patel Pusheens (aliens), Dragonsheen, Detective Pusheen, and finally the dog Pugsheen round out the cast of characters that make up the lives of Pusheen.

Although aimed at a younger audience, this will bring a smile to readers of any age (even my 12 year old daughter, who loved it!).

I requested and received a free advanced electronic copy from Gallery Books via NetGalley. Thank you!

I love Pusheen the Cat! We all need a little silly and fun especially now. This was a great read to just relax my mind and to snuggle up with my daughter as she loves Pusheen too.

The layout, however, was a little confusing as it was from top left to top right, then bottom left to bottom right on some pages and then top to bottom on the others.

Overall, layout included, I would still recommend this to everyone when they need a little fun.

I got this for my 11 year old son who's a huge fan of Pusheen. Even though there were some classics in here he'd seen before, he absolutely loved the time he spent with it. How can you go wrong with these simple, funny, sweet Pusheen comics that make you laugh out loud?

I got this for my 8 year old daughter. Here is her review: This book was so funny! It seemed like all the things in the book were things that a cat would actually do. The pictures were so adorable and funny. It was easy to read and understand. I liked all the different versions of Pusheen that they made. I loved this book!

Pusheen fans will love this new collection of comics. The panels are cute in the signature Pusheen style and cleverly show the often puzzling and adorable behaviors of cats. The addition of Pusheen in her many alter-egos is fun and adds some additional fun puns, friends and activities. A fast pick me up for readers of all ages.

Thank you for the opportunity to review The Many Lives of Pusheen the Cat. First of all, I can remember when Pusheen first came out on the Facebook Messenger sticker set. It was really so transformative for online communication because that's all me and my friends used for emoticons for a long time! Jokes aside, I think that many people agree that Pusheen is really, really cute. This book is a collection of Pusheen doing various things in the forms the art has taken over time (my fav is the detective and classic depiction). Some puns and jokes along the way, as well as nods to the daily life with a cat. I liked the "place your order" and "send it back" jokes about getting fed. Too right.

Here's the honest bit: this book won't really make sense to anyone who doesn't like Pusheen. It's just a collection of pictures of the cat and some minor wording underneath. Therefore, the marketability or relevance is key in enjoying this book. Otherwise, you will maybe think... "uh.. okay?" At the very least, you'll enjoy some really cute art. But I just wanted to say that the appeal probably must come with already liking the comic in the first place.
