The World is Your Litter Box: Deluxe Edition (Steve Fisher)

The World is Your Litter Box: Deluxe Edition
Steve Fisher, with Quasi
Sterling
Fiction, Humor
**** (Good)


DESCRIPTION: Being a cat isn't as easy as it looks. So many things to investigate (and destroy), so many household rules to learn (and ignore), and that's not counting how to deal with one's human, who often (erroneously) believes they're the one in charge of the place. Quasi, a Siamese mix sharing his home with (alleged) writer Steve Fisher, offers advice to cats of all ages on subjects ranging from looking cute and toying with allergic houseguests to enduring vet visits and thwarting diets.
This deluxe edition includes the original 2008 version of The World is Your Litter Box, plus six chapters from the sequel (The World is Still Your Litter Box) and several posts from Quasi's blog.

REVIEW: In this how-to guide for felines, Quasi spills the beans on catdom's best-kept secrets. Anyone who has lived with a cat will recognize these tricks. Quasi's commentary sometimes tries to be a little too clever for its own good; the book is at its best when it sticks with its premise, advising cats on how to live life to the fullest (and manipulate humans for fun and profit.) Toward the end, the style wears a bit thin, as Quasi repeats himself. Overall, though, it's a light, fun read for any cat-lover.
