“Cats! Cats! Cats!”, a very cute book with enjoyable graphics telling a clear and fun perspective of living with cats. I felt this book could have benefitted from having more of an intertwining storyline (standalone individual comics, but also intertwining to play off each other), as it felt a bit repetitive throughout.

A sincere thank you to NetGalley and Diamond Book Distributors, Magnetic Press for providing me an advanced copy of “Cats! Cats! Cats!” in exchange for an honest review. I am grateful to have had the opportunity to read this story and leave my review voluntarily.

Didn't love the art style, and the humor was a bit basic for me. The 1-page comics became super repetitive too, so...this was a miss for me.

Thank you to NetGalley for the chance to view this wonderful book. Published May 17, 2022.

A book with no words. A graphic novel of individual pictorials, each representing a different instance in time. All very cute, all realistic, and all relatable to cat lovers. The art work is lovely and each pictorial page tells its own story.

Cat lover or not, if you have 30 minutes this is worth your time.

This is such a cute book, a must have for any cat owner. I was laughing at every page as it perfectly depicts the antics cats pull and how ridiculous they can be. So many pages were directly relatable to my own cats. I loved the artwork, it was cute and silly. The lack of words in the book was perfect, there was no narrative or description needed with the art. This book is the perfect gift for any cat lover.

It is a very cute book and the authors do really get cats. I think any cat lover will get a chuckle out of it and see their cat in the pages. This is a short book and I think the authors might be French? It’s wordless except for the sounds the cats make and the onomatopoeia used isn’t what you expect as an English speaker but it works just fine unless you’re terribly nit picky.

This graphic novel is hilarious. Despite there being no storyline/words, I just get it. Having 2 indoor and 2 outdoor cats myself, I relate to this so much. It is funny how many things I see in the graphic novel that my own cats do. No matter how easy we try to make life for them, it is like they just try to make things as complicated as possible.

The cats in the graphic novel do things that are stupid, not learning from their mistakes and doing it all over again. My cats do this all the time.

As I am looking at the graphics, I can picture my own cats doing these things, making it even funnier!

Cat owners and cat lovers rejoice! There's a new cat comic out there that is sure to tickle your funny bone. Cats Cats Cats reminded me of Simon's Cat, except now you have a comic with adorable colored illustrations. And like Simon's Cat, Cats Cats Cats portrays real life cat experiences in a highly entertaining way.

If you've ever owned or currently own a cat, or simply just love cats, Cats Cats Cats is sure to resonate with its readers. The cat antics are funny and so relatable. A must read for laughs and giggles. Five entertaining stars.

I received a digital copy of the book from Diamond Book Distributors throught NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.

Thank you Netgalley and Diamond Book Distributors, Magnetic Press for providing my copy.

This book give me a real good laughs! As a cats owner I recognizes their unique cute annoying behaviors. And this book successfully delivers all of those hilarious moments back to me with classic style cartoon illustration. Some repetitive but still enjoyable.
Me and my son reread this comic several times in one hour together.

Almost 75 pages of cats, Cats Cats Cats! is a book about—you guessed it—cats. I enjoyed the first few scenarios, they were very silly and fun to read but the rest of them started to grow boring. I do think this book could've been shorter since it's the same format in every page, and comedy, though it brings laughter, gets repetitive after not so long. Tha art illustration was very classic and brought back memories from old cartoons!

Thank you NetGalley and Diamond Book Distributors for presenting me with an ARC of this book in exchange of a honest review.

As a lifelong cat lover I lol’d at several of these cartoons! So true and funny! This is a quite humorous collection for any cat lover in your life, i especially identified with the cat who rakes his cat litter out of the pan then uses it.

**3.5 stars**

**Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the e-arc I received.**

Feels like a cross between Garfield and Peanuts cartoons

Honestly I wasn’t the biggest fan but I think this would make a really cute gift for the cat owner in your life who affectionately calls their cat an asshole❤️

Vibrant, colorful cartoons of feline foibles familiar to any cat owner/staff highlighting mealtime antics, love of boxes, hunting for insects and rodents and general playtime destructiveness. Thoroughly enjoyable fun.

Cute comic book about the quirks of cats. Thanks to the publisher for the opportunity to read and review

The drawings of the cats are really creepy. They remind me of old animated movies from the 80s and the book just makes cats seem like idiots.

Princess Fuzzypants here: As a Maine Coon who has been called a stink pot and a turkey in a cat suit, I know humans can find us bewildering but ultimately our humans have got to love us. There are times that the more extreme our stink pottery, the more fun for us and for them, if they were honest about it. I mean why else would a book like this with pages of cartoons get the reaction it does.

Guffaws and snickers galore as the cartoons show us doing cat stuff. Momma had a silly grin on her face as she scrolled through each antic. I confess, there are a few of the demonstrated behaviours that I too have exhibited. The cartoons are adorable and charming and very funny. Just like us. This is the ideal book for any human who is owned by a cat.

Five purrs and two paws up!

Drawn in classic Sunday comics style and with the same vignette style narrative, this little graphic novel is full of chuckles and moments of fond and exasperated recognition. While the art style leaned more derpy than cute I still enjoyed it and it would make a good gift for any cat lovers.

Review to come June 20th on my blog/goodreads/other places.

I received this book from the publisher/Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I just love comics about cats so when I spotted this one on Netgalley I couldn't resist. It just called out to me. Oh, and also because I had seen this comic in the publishers mail/Twitter and wanted to read it! 

I have no cats myself (very allergic) but I do know plenty about cats thanks to friends, books, Twitter, internet, movies/series. So I could very much understand all these comics. From getting a new cat flap but opting for the mailboxflap instead. To meowing to be let in (or out) and not doing anything (or going right back inside again). From doing naughty things like playing with your owner's shoes until he finally just gives you the shoes. To litterbox and then just opting for the plants instead. There is a lot of hilarity in this one and I just laughed my butt off so many times. And not just me. My hubby was sitting next to me and I kept poking him to show him a new comic that he just HAD to read! Then we both had a laugh. This book captures being cats perfectly. They are cute, adorable, playful, but also dicks and make some dumb decisions that will haunt them forever (like the cat and the inflatable pool). XD 

I think this one will be a hit with cat lovers and owners everywhere. I love that it features barely any texts (just some meows and cat noises) and that the focus is on the actions of the cats. 

The art was also fun and fitted with the silliness of the story.

All in all! Read this one! Go on! DO it! And I hope that this author makes more funny books like this.

This picture book is fantastic! Full of hilarious and curious cats that doing very funny things, so adorable, creative and lovely! The pictures are awesome, colorful and beautiful.

I laughed out reading it, so much Déjà Vu. There is no text, except MAAW, GRUNCH, MIAMM, GRAAAT and some other very meaningful words like them.

Many thanks to Diamond Book Distributors via NetGalley, for a free digital copy, I have given my honest review.

The art style wasn't to my taste and the humor was a little bland. Still might be interesting for other cat owners and lovers.

Thank you Net Galley for a free copy of Cats Cats Cats! by Stephane Lapuss and Philippe Larbierfor an honest review. As a former cat owner, I read with a smile on my face and laughed out loud at the crazy comics of cats doing such "cat things" as begging to go in or out. The illustrator(s) did a wonderful job depicting a variety of cats in their surroundings from trees to sinks to mantels. The facial expressions of the cats were spot on. The fact that this is a silent comic was interesting. All kids could "read" this and make up their own dialogue. Anyone who as ever owned a cat, or just know a cat, will love to read this comic.
