A Mythical Guard Dog, Dogs vs Cats, A Cat’s Guide to Human Control and More!

January 19, 2013

 

Cat's Claw

by Amber Benson

Okay, some families really are more disfunctional than others.  Calliope Reaper-Jones is Death’s daughter—for real.  The only thing keeping her from the gates of hell is Cerberus, the three-headed dog “manning” the entrance. 

 

This sci-fi romp takes readers to Las Vegas, ancient Egypt, Purgatory…and a discount store that’s scarier than any supernatural creature on the run.

   

 

 

 

Why Dogs Are Better Than Cats

by Bradley Trevor Greive (author) & Rachael Hale (photographer)

“I am not a cat man, but a dog man, and all felines can tell this at-a-glance- a sharp, vindictive glance.”  James Thurber

 

Dogs are social.  Cats are sociopaths.
Dogs want love.  Cats want fish.

 

Get the picture?  This book explores with great humor, and gorgeous photography, the not exactly Anti-Cat but definitely Pro-Dog movement.

 

A collaboration between New York Times best selling author, Bradley Trevor Greive and award winning photographer, Rachael Hale, this book champions the exceptional qualities of Canis lupus familiaris with dead on acumen—often to a hilarious result.

   

 

 

 

The World Is Your Litter Box

by Quasi the Cat featuring Steve Fisher (author), Ward Schumaker (illustrator)

 

At last, a book for cats written by a cat.

 

With the caveat FOR CATS ONLY heading the intro, you just may find little Pumpkin with a flashlight under the covers.

 

This lighter than air manual is designed to keep cat’s humans exactly where they want them.  Topics include How to Look Cute, How to Get Away with the Unacceptable, How to Get the Food YOU want, Good Places to Throw Up, and How to Annoy Humans Who Are Allergic. 

 

Author Quasi, a white Tom, is 18 pounds of illustrated intellectual advice on how to take control and play your human to the fullest advantage.  Of particular interest is the section on 20 Things Cats Don’t Have To Do, such as make difficult career decisions or have complicated interpersonal relationships.
