The Book of Purrs is the perfect book for a cat lover or friend of a cat lover….because you need to make an effort to understand your friend’s love for a creature that will love you one minute and then pretend you don’t exist in the next. Purring is the way cats show contentment, and The Book of Purrs will convey that same feeling to you as you read this book.

These cartoon panels show Portuguese illustrator Luis Coelho's famous line drawings , wide eyed cats expressing feline truisms as well as commentary on everyday life that border on Zen reflections. They will make you smile and cause you to ruminate on how such a simple thought can be so powerful.

“Sometimes anxiety is a liar in our own head” says the cat on page 11

Everything about this collection from the presentation of the panels, to the inspiration behind the actual drawings is perfect. I would not change a thing. ….

as the panel on page 83 says “May the Purr Be With You”

I've been following and loving @purr.in.ink art for a long time now, so when I found out that there was a book coming out, I immediately wanted to read it.

This was a very fast read, but one that definitely sticks with you. It's the kind of book (like the author says) that you can open on a random page everyday and have something funny, cute, or uplifting. There's lots of kitties inside this book just waiting to make you smile.

A great book for everyone, but I feel it resonates especially with cat lovers, and people who struggle with anxiety.

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for a digital ARC in return for an honest review.

So very cute! I have been following the artist and am so glad that they are in book form!
The art is cute and the messaging is sweet, fun, and inspirational.
This would be a great gift.

These are absolutely great. Super cute, funny, and all the feels. Will definitely have to share this with my daughter which I know she’ll love as well.

I received this as an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

GET THIS BOOK!

This book is funny, heartwarming, emotional, uplifting, beautiful...just perfect.

I just purchased a black kitten for my 17 year old. She begged and begged for an orange but this little black kitten stole her heart. This kitten is our burnt orange TERROR! But she's also perfect. I joke about her being like that commercial "first she's sweet then she's sour then back to sweet".

This book captures the essence of how awesome perfect and annoying cats can be. This book is basically self care. I immediately ordered a hard copy.

This book is so cute. I would love to have it as a coffee table book for all my cat loving friends to look at when they come over. I have 4 cats myself and can definitely see them making some of these comments. Then again, some of these seem too nice to be my cats!

This could be a little pick me up during the day when you're feeling sad. Some of the little quotes made me laugh out loud.

This was a super cute book of comics! They're funny and relatable, and some even emotional. I showed a few to my boyfriend because I really liked them.

First off, many thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this book as an e-ARC! I greatly appreciate it!

I've been reading Luis Coelho's little kitty comics for ages, and I've been looking forward to this book for quite some time. You cannot imagine how absolutely thrilled I was to see it on NetGalley! And then when I was approved? The scream I scrumpt!

There's not all that much to say about this book, given there's no story, but it was delightful anyway! The messages are sweet and the art is adorable, as always. "I will shit rainbows and do what I love" and "I would purr on this one" were my favorites!

Five stars out of five to The Book of Purrs!

I love following the author's Instagram account, and it was with pleasure that I found her little cats. A beautiful, touching, funny book that I really enjoyed discovering.

adorably purr-fect collection of comic cats. all cat lovers need a copy of this one on their coffee table and-or nightstand!

I think "motivational speeches delivered by cute cats" sums up this book fairly well. These little balls of fluff say encouraging, thoughtful and emotional things. Sometimes they recite funny little poems about the nature of cats (especially about biting). Those are my favorites. Overall, it's an enjoyable and quick read for cat lovers. It's not particularly deep, but it had me gushing over those wide-eyed cuties, and that was enough to please me.

Ca(p)tivating collection of delightful illustrations of the Internet famous feline character combined with an affirmation. So many of the pages demand to be made into posters. Some of the affirmations come from a decidedly feline point of view while others certainly apply to humans as well. Charming and appropriate for gift giving to all cat lovers plus anyone in need of a tender smile.

This is the cutest book for cat lovers ever. This book pulls together elements of all cat owners furry friends and puts them into this book. This is already pre-ordered for some Christmas gifts. I love the art style and colour palette which has been chosen so well and hope we get some more books in the series of different pets.

Spectacular kitty illustrations and cute, not super substantive aphorisms. ..................................................................................................................................................................................................

I enjoyed reading this book. It is a very fun concept. I found the cover art quite intriguing and true to the essence of the main characters, cats.

Each page is filled with cuteness, inspiration, and potentially a good giggle. This book made me both laugh and tear up, but also remind me of why I’ve got my own little purr balls in my life. Luis really captures life with cats, but also provides uplifting messages for all aspects of life. A really cute read that I can’t wait to purchase and have in my home for when I need a good pick me up!

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy for an honest review.

I really enjoyed reading this and will be picking up a copy as soon it releases. 💕
It was well written and I really enjoyed my time reading it. Very cute.

Rating 4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"The Book of Purrs" is such a sweet book. Once you finish it, it leaves you with a warm feeling in your chest.

The book is a compilation of comics, some of them have a punch line, other are advices to be kind to yourself, others are adorable fuzzy cats. It's a lovely reading experience. It's been a long time since a book make me feel so happy.

The art is incredible, the characters are suer cute and the color palete give a dream like vibe that is incredible.

I'm really glad I picked this book. It's the perfect balance between fun and motivational quotes.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for providing a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

The style reminds me of the oatmeal and bored panda comics but happier messages. Super cute.a little bit repetitive in the overall collection of comics.

Thanks to #NetGalley for the ARC ebook.

Cute, weird, funny, just like cats. There were some repeat drawings and similar sayings throughout, so I docked a star. I didn't expect the last 2 to be so sad either. :(

"If hope is low and mind is slow, go pet kitty to feel less shitty." Truer words have never been said.
