I'm not sure that this book necessarily needs a review. But, it is a book on how to understand your cat for children by your favorite grandmotherly krazee kat ladee.

Prolific author Jean Craighead George demonstrates consistent voice in talking about cats in a superior holier than though cat like

and rather condescending manner to children. While her information is mostly accurate albeit general, I wish she hadn't taken such a superior tone. But then again, I imagine it is probably difficult to cover the topic of how to get along with a cat in any other tone. But my husband was so annoyed with the author's voice to describe cats, that he was spouting off parodies of it all night long. How to Put Your Cat in Her Place would probably be the title of his parody.

Although I was saddened when I saw that Jean Craighead George died earlier this year.. I loved this cute nonfiction book that explained basics of cat behavior and how to recognize different facial and body cues in your cat, and even sometimes how you can 'talk' back to your cat.

This book is awesome! How to talk to your cat is a must read for everyone. Want to know what all of those directed towards you from your cat mean? Pick up this book and read it and you will know everything from what they are saying, how to respond to them, and what cat body language means.
