5 stars (I DID NOT LIKE THE COVER UNTIL...) - When I first saw the book I found it UGLY. Since I am a cat lover I looked inside just to find out why on earth anybody would make such a bad cover. Thank God I did look inside! - The book is simply hilarious! I bought the book and took it home for further amusement. After going through the whole book I also learned to appreciate the cover. I have to compliment the author for a brilliant idea! By the way, my boyfriend, who is NOT a cat lover and used to dislike my two pets with passion, seems to have changed his attitude towards my cats after having a lot of fun with "Bad Cat". What's even more interesting, he gave me for my birthday another book with a BEAUTIFUL cover, titled "Why Some Cats are Rascals". Yet another great book! It is meant as children's book, but I had a lot of fun reading it together with my boyfriend. I think he is on the edge of getting one "Rascal" for himself, although he does not admit that yet... 5 stars (A gripping tour-de-force) - I laughed so hard I was crying. Seriously. Jim Edgar is a comic treasure. I eagerly await Bad Cat 2. 5 stars (Couldn't be any funnier!) - Bought this book and howled all night - the cats in it are just hilarious. Between the photos of cats gone bad and the captions that absolutely capture what we humans think the cat MUST be thinking, you'll thoroughly enjoy this book. Now, whenever I've had a rotten day at work, I simply pull out my "bad cats" and feel better almost instantly! A side note: I recently bought the "Bad Cats Calendar" for 2006 - it contains even more than the book - can't wait until January 1 when I can put it on my desk at work! ...
