Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an arc to read, rate and review.
Wow! This is a book will give you the warm fuzzies from the endorphin rush of adorable-ness! I thoroughly enjoy these on social media and send them to my friends, but a book must now be purchased for everyone I know! You will not regret looking at these because you will soon discover you have read it cover to cover!

I was going into this expecting a comic, instead I got something better...a compilation of positive affirmations for your every day life with cats! This will bring you joy every day, the art is beautiful, there's something for everyone. It would make a wonderful gift to any cat lover, be it birthdays, holidays, house warming gift or just a pick me up present this is truly the perfect option.
It's short, sweet and gorgeous, could not have loved it more.

I love this little kitty so much. Sometimes it hits to close home but it's worth hearing some of the quotes.

OMG, this was just so damn cute! I will be getting a physical copy once the books comes out. Great book to have in the living room or coffee table and to randomly open to make you smile

This was supposed to be cute, but I found it more creepy and unsettling. The cats were okay for the first few pages, but then it got repetitive.

As a cat lover and cat mom, and often seeing Luiz Coelho work on social medias, I knew this book was for me. This book full of really cute drawings is like a candy, it's comforting. With these philosophical and poetical texts about mental health or a cat's life, that are totally reliable, you will smile and it will make you feel a little better.

The only negative thing I have to say, aside from the book being too short, is that I would have loved for the comics to be a little bit more diversified; a few panels are pretty much alike, and it's too bad not to have developed the cat's habits part more.

Trigger Warnings for Book of Purrs: N/A

Book of Purrs: Everyday Thoughts from your Feline Friends by Luis Coelho is a cute collection of purring nothings. This book compiles Coelho's delightful online comics about our feline companions. Throughout, Coelho also inputs uplifting quotes and funny quips.

Book of Purrs: Everyday Thoughts from your Feline Friends is great for what it is. This book is a compilation, not a series of interconnected comic strips. As a write this with my cat in my lap, I must say so much of what Coelho has put in Book of Purrs is accurate. This being said, some of the multi-panel comics have the same exact drawing in each of them. It feels like Coelho didn't put as much effort into those as the ones that show more expression.

Overall, this was cute. It wasn't a game-changer, it wasn't earth-shattering, but it was cute. Thank you to Luis Coelho, Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an advanced reader copy of this book. Official release date for Book of Purrs: Everyday Thoughts from your Feline Friends by Luis Coelho is set for October 22nd, 2024.

I loved this with my whole heart. The art is so cute. I LOVE CATS.
The book had quotes that were silly but some that actually made me think and needed to read atleast once.

Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this fun book -- I loved it so much I immediately went to my account and added it to my shopping list and my wish list so I could get copies for myself and as gifts. I don't normally recommend damaging books, but I would love to decorate my work area with some of the best inspirational pages, and maybe even rotate them on a regular basis. I like being able to see positive notes while I work, and there are so many funny, wise, inspirational, and naughty examples here. You don't have to be a cat lover to think this book is funny and positive.

A cute book for cat lovers or anyone who wants some feel good comics. This book is very sweet and funny with an aim to cheer you up with its cute rhymes and cuter cat images. I really liked the sort of affirmations/reminders in each comic, though some felt a little repetitive. And mostly I enjoyed the drawings of the adorable cats

“Existing can be a lot of work”

It is a humorous compilation of many cats, many wise but sometimes also just very cat-related things. I quite enjoyed the bits (and bites) at parts this book brought. Between the very feline things, you can find a lot of quotes which can build you up again, to help you get a bit happier. As it even says “Existing can be a lot of work” but this book tries (and for succeeds) in making it a bit of an easier job to manage.

This book is filled with cat thoughts - some goofy and silly, some insightful and sweet. I laughed at many of them and awww-ed over many.

This book would make a great gift for a cat lover or a cute coffee table book.

This book was absolutely delightful. I have seen his work before and was so excited to read this. I would definitely gift this to people in my life who need an uplifting message and love cats and will certainly recommend this to others.

It is short, very sweet, and I found myself pausing on specific pages that resonated with me or those I love. A couple of pages even had me tearing up a) because I love cats and b) I have always loved cats and c) I sometimes have existential crises about my cat's life span. The art is darling and the messages are poignant.

Thanks Net Galley and Andrews McMeel for this advanced copy.

This is an adorable book where cats are talking to you about everyday things and say nice things about the reader. It's a super cute book and a great book to read to help boost your self confidence.

This was amazing! The color and art style is beautiful and I love how large the cats' eyes become throughout each panel. It's a simple, uplifting series and is great for animal lovers all around.

This book was alright. I was hoping it would be better than this, though. I enjoyed a few of the pages but most of it was about biting and trite quotes from social media posts. I’m pretty disappointed. The art was cute. 2.5 stars rounded up to 3.

Absolutely adorable book of comics. I follow this artist on Instagram, and was excited to see the book available to read on NetGalley. It's a lovely mix of cat themed jokes and uplifting messages. This book would be a great gift for any cat lover.
