What an absolutely fun little book! As a cat owner, I can personally testify to its accuracy. Absolutely recommend for a funny and short read!
The Cat Operator's Manual is a quick, humorous, yet info-packed guide about caring for our feline friends. As the proud owner of two Cuddle Unit 5s, I already knew a lot of the information presented here, but it was presented in such a delightful and humorous way that I still enjoyed reading. Would recommend this book for any cat parents who want to understand their cats better!
Oh my gosh this book was silly. As a cat lover and owner of multiple cuddle bots, I have to say this was so accurate and hilarious. This book is a perfect gift to give to any cat lover. I would 100% get this for my cat loving friends. It's so cute and silly.
Absolutely fantastic - funny and adorable. A must read for cat lovers! Highly recommended. Any cat lover will appreciate this.
If cats came with an owners manual this would definitely be it! Lots of practical advice layed out in a hilariously entertaining read that is perfect for all cat lovers! Loved all of the illustrations. I thank Netgalley and Chronicle Books for the opportunity to read and review this book.
This was a hilarious book! Cat lovers will greatly appreciate this manual and will relate with many of the facts provided!
Cute little book for cat lovers. This would make a good gift or coffee table/bathroom book. I read the electronic copy on the NetGalley app. I would enjoy a pocket sized book for ease of use.
Absolutely hilarious, but full of good information in an easily digestible form. A copy should come with every cat.
This is the cat owners' manual I didn't know I needed! I happen to be the caretaker for two of the Cuddle Unit 5 models and the information contained within is remarkably accurate to my personal experience. While I don't know that I would refer to the book regularly, it was an entertaining read.
The funniest part of this book is how accurate it is. I did enjoy seeing all the different instructions on dealing with cats, and the illustrations were fun. Thanks to NetGalley for letting me read this
Loved this. Charming and adorable to read. Kind of like a Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy but for cats instead of galaxies. Would be a great gift for any nerdy cat lover in your life. The text is hilarious while still being informative. A rare find. .
Thank you, NetGalley and Chronicle Books for this ARC for review. This book was both informative and hilarious! I feel fully confident and prepared to take care of my cat cuddle unit now! Must read for any cat owner!
I'll be honest: I am NOT a cat person. I'm actually fairly afraid of cats. But I somehow ended up in a household with one of these Cuddle Units, so I figured this was the best way to make sure I know everything I need to regarding operation and maintenance.
And oh my god, this book delivers. The humor is spot-on—consistently funny, without being over-done or fake. The advice is actually solid (especially with regard to how to avoid the Sharp Embrace). And I feel much more confident sharing my space with a fuzzy little razorblade. So all in all, this book is a win/win/win! We're already planning on picking up a copy for a mutual friend who loves cats.
While writing this review, I read the author's name and went "Queen Olivia III? Huh, that almost sounds like this book was written BY a cat!" and then I googled them, and oh my gosh they're absolutely fantastic.
Thank you Queen Olivia III, NetGalley, and Chronicle Books for the eARC!
