Product Description
It's the 1.6-million-copy bestseller that skips the jargon and psychobabble, and instead features straight-talking, down-to-earth, clear-cut advice-that of writer and cartoonist Suzy Becker's cat. "Know all the sunny places." "Flaunt your hair loss." "Get mad when you're stepped on." "Take some time to eat the flowers." "Be tolerant-but not overly accommodating." "Make your own hours." "Scratch when it itches." "Depend on others without losing your independence." "Avoid company you do not like." Altogether, here are over 90 simple life lessons, irresistibly illustrated in full-color. Proving what all cat fanciers suspect about their own pets, Suzy Becker's cat is a fount of wisdom. The book covers everything from grooming, health, and diet to being completely well-adjusted, and imparts perhaps the most valuable piece of advice a cat could give: "There is always time for a nap."

ALL I NEED TO KNOW I LEARNED FROM MY CAT by Suzy Becker
Rating  (4)
Date: 2008-10-17
All I Need to Know I Learned from My Cat is a little illustrated book by Suzy Becker. Each page has some piece of wisdom like "Be curious" and "Don't always come when you're called," and a corresponding illustration involving a fat white cat.
The whole thing is very cutesy, and if you aren't a cat lover, this isn't for you. But if you are a cat lover/owner, you can relate to a lot of what's in here, and you'll get some enjoyment out of the book.
Ultimately, All I Need to Know I Learned from My Cat, while containing nothing particularly hilarious or classic, is what it sets out to be: cute.

A delightful exploration of what humans can learn from animals. The illustrations are spare and charming, the text amusing, compelling and true. I would recommend it as a gift for teenaged girls, and cat lovers of all ages.

My family has a cat (Sassy) that is approximately one year old. She is currently in the transition stage from being an energetic kitten interested in everything to a tamer version that is more content. When reading this book I recognized Sassy on every page. Each page contains an illustration with caption that also relates to our human traits of trying to get through the trials of life. My favorite was the page that showed a human bathroom with things strewn everywhere with the caption, "Get someone else to clean your bathroom." Funny and entertaining, this book will strike the truth bone of every person who owns or has owned a cat.
