Why My Cat Is More Impressive Than Your Baby

Hilarious! this author really does understand cats and babies. These are some of the best cartoons I have seen. Be sure to look at the author's website.

If you like the Oatmeal, you'll love this and if you're new to his art and humor, you might become a dedicated fan.

I never heard of this guy, but love cartoonists with observational bite. I must also admit, forgive me, that I dont have 1 iota of maternal instinct in me and have endured decades of You Name It because I never wanted kids and even being asked if I wanted to hold a baby is akin to being asked if I want to hold a rabid badger, so I identified with this cartoonist. Its one of the rare books that had me laughing out loud. I even sent some screen shot to my mom, who was laughing so hard I ordered her one, too. (The section on a cat hogging your bed is priceless. I wish there was a poster of these panels). I went and got this author's other book out of the library and enjoyed much of those, its a "real person" humor and light, honest storytelling. Tho the drawing seems minimal at times, even the shape of a black cat in these pages conveys tons ( a cat must sleep in a position like its airborn, and its their pillow ,so get over it). Enjoyed and promise laughs!

This book is hilarious. Be forewarned, it's R rated. Having had a baby and now we have a cat, we could relate to every scene in this book. We laughed so hard! This is a great book to give your friends who don't have kids, who do have kids, or who have kids and cats. The drawings are especially funny. Sarcastic, smart, creative, and it reminds me of being back home in New York. Awesome sense of humor. : )

Great for anyone who owns a cat. Super funny. Probably also good for someone who owns a cat and a baby or child!

Matthew Inman, better known as "The Oatmeal," has written an important book that makes a convincing argument for several important points - even though it is disguised as a book of humor. He makes an impressive case against having babies that I found entirely convincing. He also makes a very good case for keeping all cats indoors and putting orange collars on them. Finally he makes a good case that if you must have a pet, a dog is the best choice of all (even if it is not a Corgi). The book comes with a nice foldout poster on "how to tell if your cat thinks you'rel not that big of a deal." It would have been better if he had chosen to make a truly educational poster of his powerful argument for making murderous cats indoor pets. This is also a humorous book, though the level of humor is at the level of a young adolescent male, but don't let that distract you from the author's more serious points.

This book is literally hilarious. I stumbled across it when I was reading an article online, and I absolutely knew I had to have this book. I ordered two, one for the other cat lover in my life. It is so funny. The price is great, it’s hilarious, and wonderful for all cat lovers out there – or even those who aren’t! I would highly recommend this! Fast shipping, excellent quality, and hilarious!

The Oatmeal is a favorite of mine anyways, so naturally when I saw this book I had to get a copy. If you have any experience at all with babies, cats or dogs or all three this book will make you laugh and nod your head in agreement. If you attempt to read this book in public people will either be drawn to your laughter and will soon be reading over your shoulder laughing too OR they'll be calling security on you. Much of this probably depends on how your general appearance is and how charming (or not) your laugh is, so take this all into account. Or read it in private, because you don't like to share and you hate people reading over your shoulder. Like me. It's all good. Just like this book.

Ich kannte den Humor des Autors bereits und konnte auch dem beschenkten Katzenfreund eine Freude damit machen. Derber Humor - sehr witzig

I'm a big fan of The Oatmeal (artist). Got one for a gift exchange then one for myself. Those very funny comics about babies and cats are perfect for young adults and party gifts.

Fumetto molto divertente, purtroppo lo seguivo anche su internet, dico purtroppo perché nel libro hanno riproposto tante vignette già viste su internet. Ideale per chi non lo ha mai letto e per chi vuole una raccolta cartacea delle simpatiche vignette di The Oatmeal. Il libro è comunque ben curato ed a colori.

Lo compre para un regalo, y esta genial, viene con un poster.

Had a very good time reading this one, but I guess not everyone can have fun with this kind of humor.
