Thank you, Netgalley, for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

As soon as I saw this, I knew I wanted to read it. I'm a cat lover and owner of a black cat myself. I didn't even know there was an Instagram page (that I am checking out right after this) and I had a blast flipping through the pages. I laughed with most of them and recognized my Salem throughout. This was so funny, so heart warming and cute. A total recommendation to every cat lover out there.

Thank you NetGalley for providing me with this arc in exchange for my honest review.

Purrfection! I’ve seen a few of these online but for some reason they worked better for me as a collection. Absolutely loved this from start to finish.

I just could not stop reading until I finished it! I read this with my cat Lucky and my kitten Hope and I often looked at them, while chuckling from the naughty comics or emotional because of the adorable ones. This is a book that every cat lover will adore!

If you like this illustrator, this is the book for you.
If you like cats, this is the book for you.
Could be also a wonderful gift for cat lovers in your life.
I'll surely buy it just to spark joy in my day to day life.

This was delightful! It's not the kind of book you read through from cover to cover in one sitting (although you absolutely can) but the kind of book you open to a random page, read one or two pages, and walk away happier.

I love the (sometimes a little aggressive) cat love shown in these comics, and absolutely loved the sentiments of love, self care, and aggressive affection shown.

I definitely want to pick up a physical copy for myself, as the drawings were perfect!

Thanks to NetGalley and the publishers for an advance ebook copy in exchange for an honest review.

I follow this artist on Instagram, so I was so excited to read this now! I love cats, so these comics always make me smile. This book is the purrfect collection of uplifting, heartwarming, and laugh-inducing art for any cat lover--or anyone who just needs a smile. I laughed out loud for most of this book, and when I wasn't laughing, I was introspectively reading the more daily-affirmation-type messages. I will definitely buy a physical copy of this to keep around and open when I need a pick-me-up!

Such a nice book with witty and generally cute content! It's a good read to have in a dull day and when you're looking for cats and cutesy content.

A series of comics about how cats love you and want to be happy.

The art is adorable. The messaging is full of feels.

Honestly one of cutest books I’ve ever flipped through. Would make a great coffee table book for that cat obsessed person in your life!

I'm not sure what I was expecting when I decided to read this book especially since I'm not a fan of cats, but I was pleasantly surprised. This was a cute book and at times it was funny. The illustrations were amazing. I'd definitely recommend this to cat lovers and those who are looking for encouraging words and affirmations.

Huge thanks to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the e-arc

This is a short compilation of mini comics and illustrations that range from comedy to inspirational quotes, I was feeling a little down at the moment and they cheered me up, so that's good!

The artwork is really pretty and I really love cats, I think anyone who likes cats is going to enjoy this book. Is really short but really cute

There's a big chance you already crossed the path of those little fluffy cats with their big eyes on the Internet. In "The Book of Purrs", Luís Coelho brings together his drawings of adorably cute cats and associates them with equally cute little phrases. Motivating, reassuring phrases about ourselves, our worth and our anxieties. Each page is a little pep talk in a single sentence that assures us how beautiful and resilient we are.
You can read this book in one go (as I did), or in several chunks, opening it whenever you feel the need to be reassured and feel better. A few feel-good sentences and cute little cats, like a shot of intravenous serotonin.
If you like cats and little motivational phrases, with a touch of humor, then this little book is for you!

CUTE! I really love this. It's such a fun book to pick up. It brought a smile to my face to see the lovely drawings and the positive messages!

As a resident cat lady I adored this book! The illustrations are super cute and it would delight any cat lover. I appreciated the positive affirmations and the silly cat humor. This would make for a lovely gift for the person in your life who has cats or loves cats!

Very sweet, and timely, re-readable, slightly one-note on cat personality | I completed a multiple day training on suicide prevention right before reading this, and let me just say that the book was the perfect mood-lifter. I could see someone just picking it up for a pick-me-up flip through now and then, and I think it would be effective (maybe especially for teens). Somebody is going to buy it for a young child and be upset about the use of the word "shit" twice, I have no problem with it but am mentioning it to try to stave that off. I really thought the whole book was gentle and kind. The only criticism I really have is that all the cats are love-love-bite, and that doesn't describe any cat I've had in my life. I know it's a common joke about cats, and some cats are like that, it's just not my experience, so it grew slightly dull that it was the payoff of most of the panels.

ARC provided free of charge, which did not impact my review

I mean this is an a complete 5 star read for me!

Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for a copy of this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I've been following this creator on instagram for a while now and was elated when I saw they are publishing a book full of their adorable works! From cute comics about mischievous cats, to being an object that 100% biteable, to emotional and supportive life tidbits that come in cat form - this is a funny and heartwarming graphic novel/comic!

This would make an excellent present for any cat lover or just anyone who enjoys the antics of cats + could use some pulling on their heart strings every once in a while.

Highly recommend!

I love puns. I love cats. I love cat puns. This cute little coffee table book really scratched that itch! This would make a great cat lover gift.
Thank you for the ARC, NetGally

A good coffee table reader for a any cat lover. Seems like it would be fun to pick up and just flip to a random page as opposed to reading like you would another book.
