Bad Cat: 244 Not-So-Pretty Kitties and Cats Gone Bad

What a cute volume! A simple premise: photos of cats, a caption, and information on the cat--name, age, hobby.One illustrative caption: "I told you--nobody wants to hear Billy Joel." The photo is of a cat on a piano's keyboard. Stacey, the cat, is 10 years old and has the hobby of compulsive cleaning around the litter box.From that one example, it's clear that this will enchant cat people and, perhaps, leave those who are not enthralled by cats somewhat less bewitched!Another cat, Jerry G, (one year old), is photographed holding on to ceiling lights. The legend? "Don't move baby, I want this lit just right."A 12 year old cat, Hector, curled up in a skillet: "For my next impression, I'd like to do a Frittata."I like cats. And I like this tiny book (you can put it in your pocket).

Jim Edgar's first delve into the psychology of Cat is actually more similar to the Bad Cat Calendar than his follow-up. Here you have 244 Cats and kitties captured in full color on film in compromising positions, intending to spread "badwill" to humanity. This book contains slightly more text than does his second venture. Here, the captions run a bit longer, and included is a category for the age of the feline in question, plus a tongue-in-cheek" hobby of the relevant mystical beast.All cat lovers will enjoy this book as well as his follow-up (see my separate review for that one). There is a tinge of political incorrectness in the introduction as Edgar writes, "while you sit amongst ... empty fo'ties of Schlitz Malt Liquor ..." in reference to man's ignorance of Cat's real agenda. I love that line. Thanks to Jim Edgar for two wonderful tongue-in-cheeks books celebrating one of mankind's most beloved companions!

OK, I'm biased. I love cats. And, having grown up with cats, I'm familiar with their sneakily evil ways! Do not trust the Cat! The Cat will show you who's Boss! All the same, the Cat should be spotlighted for the antics it's capable of... This book does a beautiful job of spotlighting and respecting. Add to that, this book (or, rather, the premise behind it) gives readers the opportunity to participate in the wonder that is Cat. Are you a cat owner? You may send photos of the feline in your life to [...] and know that the author of "Bad Cat" will show him/her in his/her best/worst light! Are you a cat admirer? The author will prove to you, once and for all, that the Cat is to be at once feared and revered. The Cat is in charge. Never doubt that!

As the proud slave to two feisty felines (mine are Devon Rex -- need I say more?), I was intrigued by the title of this little tome. I ordered one for myself and nearly busted a gut laughing. I ended up ordering several more as gifts for my cat-loving friends. Anyone who as ever co-habited with cats for any length of time will recognize some of the characters featured in "Bad Cat." The photos are funny enough -- add the captions, and you're in for an hour or so of hysterical laughter. Really. I'm not kidding. You love cats? You'll love this. Even if you *don't* love cats, you'll probably find something to laugh at in this little book.

The cover says it all: [click to enlarge]CoverCat Caption (p.50): SNAX, age 13. "I used to deal catnip to the kittens at the shelter.""They're BAD CATS, with bad intentions, bad habits, and bad attitudes..." --cover blurb.NB: sample fotos are larger than life-size. It's a small book, with small photos, my only real complaint. Oh, and there's no index, making it a nuisance to relocate your favorites.Like p. 204: "You guys get the the reindeer. The fat guy's mine." Bucky, Carrot Face, Moe & Irving, at the fireplace. Photo not online, dammit.'Nuff said. A very amusing book. Inspired by the author's entertaining website mycathatesyou[dot]com -- search "cats" for "Mr. Slick" for a worthy outtake.Happy reading--Peter D. Tillman

A great little toilet book. But once you've been through it a number of times, it starts to wear thin. I just wish I'd thought of printing a collection of cat pictures from their owners and publishing for Christmas. Brilliant idea, but I couldn't really give it 5 stars.

My friend loves cats. And loves to joke about evil cats, so this was a natural choice. They were happy with it, so would recommend.

A book of pictures of cats in the kind of situations that they seem to get into. Most of the pictures are amusing and the captions are brilliant. A real tonic.

Bought for a friend - who loved it

Fun book for cat lovers
