"The World Is Your Litter Box" By Quasi ("With Minor Help From Steve Fisher"), A Review By ME...Cody!!

Throughout the week as I was circling my food bowl, or just passing through the kitchen looking for a comfy place to sleep, I would see my Mom laughing and laughing while reading and then she would even yell to my Dad that she HAD to read certain parts out loud to him! I wondered why the sudden bouts of hysteria in her usually boring demeanor and I had to see what all the fuss was about.

When Mom went to bed I looked at the cover of this book that seemed to be full of feel good dopamine. I heard bits and pieces as Mom read it to Dad and thought "that sounds like it is a book that is for CATS! Not humans, but CATS!" When Mom went to bed one night and the book was unattended, I scoped it out. Sure enough I was right!

"The World Is Your Litter Box" is a "how-to manual for CATS!!" YAY!! FINALLY! It is even written by a CAT! You know what they say, "if you want expert advice to go to the expert!" Well no one actually says that...but they should! It is a "how-to manual" to make our kitty lives more pleasant and enjoyable than they already are!!" Now what cat with his brain screwed in in the right place wouldn't like THAT!?

Ok kitlets, cool cats,  toms, glamour pusses....pull up your comfiest cat-hair covered pillow (you know you ALL have one) and "lend me your ears!!" Wait! this book isn't written by Shakespeare but by Quasi,  who is "a charming and intelligent 18-lb cat, white with baby blue eyes. Like all cats, Quasi possesses the wisdom of the ages and an overabundance of kitty cuteness." This is the very first book he has written! You goooo Quasi!

I guess we should acknowledge Steve Fisher as well (since he did help Quasi a little with this book). Steve Fisher (Quasi’s human and co-author) was a musician, a radio disc-jockey and a  record producer before finding his true path as a writer. When not writing, he spends his time catering to Quasi’s every want and whim.

Ok guys, I am not one to give away an entire book (if I did, then why would YOU ever want to read it?) but I DO want to share some of the highlights with you and trust me, (cross my paws, and hope to use one of my nine lives, well not use one of my nine lives but I am crossing my paws across my heart) there are gadzillions of highlights in this purrfectly catabulous book!

There is a chapter on "How To Look Cute" (well we are cute ALREADY but what cat couldn't try to be even CUTER to get what he/she wants?) I heard my Mom tell Dad that Grandpa Bobo used to do "The Sphinx" pose where you "lie flat on the ground with your front legs extended and your head held proudly, then look straight ahead in a somber, yet majestic manner. A classic!"

My personal favorite poses are the "Upside-Down Turtle" or the "Jack-O-Lantern Face"...I use those poses to get my way most effectively! You want to know what those poses are? GOTCHA! Ya gotta read the book to find out!

Another chapter that I loved and from the laughter I heard throughout the week and the yellow highlighting I saw in the book while I was reading it, (how DARE Mom deface MY cat manual for HER pleasure!) It obviously was one of her favorites too, is "How to Get Your Human to Sing and Act Like a Complete Idiot" (we all know that THAT isn't hard to do, but here is a tip from the book)

 "ALL humans have this capacity. Do they sing? Do they talk baby talk? Do they imitate your meows? Do they pick you up and hug you and turn gooey and gushy?"..."All you have to do is meow a couple times and look cute. Yes, fellow cat, the mere sound of your voice and cuteness of your face is all it takes to push your human's craziness button and unleash a command performance. It's that simple."

Want to know a secret? It says in the book that to make it easier for all of us cats to find this book in the unlikely event it is hidden on a bookshelf at home....is that it is "ever-so-slightly scented with catnip"....

Ready for this? I walked by and saw my Mom sniffing and sniffing the book from every angle imaginable...you have to understand...my mom is "one sandwich short of a picnic"...she still believes in the "Tooth Fairy" for cat's sake.

Well my feline family, I have MY manual, I have my less than brilliant test subject....I'm all set!

Now zip, zoom, pussyfoot (or whatever form of skedaddling you are most talented at doing) and get outta here and get yours!

 Oh and I wasn't compensated for this review (other than receiving a copy of the book) for my most honest and heartfelt opinion of it. I am a CAT, what OTHER kind of review am I going to give huh?
