These comics collections are almost impossible to hand sell, however much I like them, and are almost entirely relient upon the artist's ability to promote themselves online. This is a shame, because I love business cat. I first saw the "racial sensitivity training" strip a couple of years ago and it is very funny. Unfortunately there's not quite enough here of that level to take this book into the leagues of How to Tell if your Cat is Trying to Kill You. Perhaps if I was still working in a smaller, curated shop in The City of London this would be a better fit than my current, very large shop.

'Business Cat: Money, Power, Treats' by Tom Fonder is a series of comic strips about a company CEO who has a human body and a cat's head. It's hilarious on a couple different levels.

He may be mostly man with a cat's head, but he acts totally like a cat. Pushing his coffee cup off his desk, sending dead birds to prize employees, and lapping up alcohol out of a dish are all things that business cat does. He also acts inappropriate during important business meetings and has a litter box in his executive wash room. Being invited to his house for dinner is probably not a great idea, even if he is the boss. His biggest rival is business dog, and they have a bet for who will be the business pet of the year.

This book manages to skewer cat ownership and work at the same time. Having a cat for a leader would be ludicrous, but having a scratching post installed for employee morale is about on par for some of the things I've heard that have been done. I found it all really funny.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
