In keeping with our "Cats Rule, Dogs Drool" theme from our blog post yesterday, Cody and I are proud to present to you the brilliantly witty book: Stanley & Katrina, The Perpetual Papers of the Pack of Pets which was cleverly
Who are Stanley & Katrina?
"Katrina is an eight -year-old grey tabby cat who loves her toy mouse. Stanley is a three-year-old black Labrador/Rottweiler mix who does his best to ignore Katrina. Morty, a bunny, assists in narration of their story."
Though they reside in the same house, Stanley and Katrina's preferred method of communicating is through letters which are initiated by Katrina, who prefers to be addressed by her OFFICIAL name: Katrina Von Cat the Master of Wisdom and Knowledge, Get the picture? Poor Stanley doesn't stand a chance! Katrina is also "a proper member of the Wise Cat Council." Just wait until you read the book to see who the other members of the council are!
This book features letters that deal with topics that are not only the most pressing topics in both the lives of Stanley & Katrina, but in the lives of cats and dogs in general!
There are letters pertaining to:
- The Vacuum
- The Vet-Oh no!
- The Cat Council-where you will meet the council "members"
- New Food
- The Christmas Tree Goes Up
- Training-where Katrina discusses with Stanley that she doesn't understand why HE gets trained and she doesn't! Katrina wants to be trained because it means FREE TREATS!! Katrina was delighted to learn that she was in fact going to be trained, and was thrilled when her name was called to begin, and she got a treat simply for walking into the kitchen! That's a CAT for ya! That's how they roll! Reap the rewards with minimal effort! Just be "cool" and the world is your oyster!
If you are looking for a fast read that showcases the relationship between cats and dogs in a witty and sarcastic manner, then this is the book for you! It would make a great gift for the cat lover(s) oh and dog lovers too, that are in your life!
