Finally a cat book that pokes fun
at the "darker" side of living with cats!!!
I knew the second I first read that one of my favorite cat-people, Rosa Silva, was publishing a book, and the second that I read the title, Stop Meowing and Go the F*ck to Sleep, that this book would be right up my alley! I was right, it TOTALLY is!
While I am insanely in love with cats, I would be lying if I said that every single moment was all sunshine and roses. Cats rule our homes, they rule our lives. While cuddly and endearing, they can be annoying little "SOBs"!! If you are saying that your cat(s) are perfect, I am calling you out on a BIG. FAT. LIE.
While I adore my cat, Cody, (and Angel Bobo, "the one who came before"), there are (and have been) moments that have been beyond exasperating. Moments where I have called my kitties names involving "HBO words". Many of the moments that have been particularly annoying, have involved trying to sleep when a cat has decided it is time to be AWAKE, because they have other things that they are thinking of. For many cats, and my Angel Bobo, those thoughts usually involve playtime, but Cody's thoughts always involve FOOD. The relentless quest for food. In our case, it is my husband who is the poor "victim" who loses sleep, because he does the morning feedings and because I can pretty much sleep through anything. But, even I have my moments where Cody's incessant meowing is on my last nerve, and I will yell at him to "SHUT THE F*CK UP!!" Not to be deterred, Cody will meow incessantly, jump back and forth across my husband's weary head, cry, knock things over, and more. He will do anything in his quest to wake my poor husband up.
Stop Meowing and Go the F*ck to Sleep by Rosa Silva, addresses these moments in a nod-your-head-in-recognition accompanied by belly laughs kind of way, in a style reminiscent of children's books, but in this case, the book is definitely for ADULTS ONLY!!
FROM THE PUBLISHER:
For all the crazy cat lovers out there, sometimes that crazy
could be because your feline friend will not let you get any sleep.
Inspired by, and in the tradition of Cortes and Mansbach’s
adults-only bedtime story, Go the F*ck to Sleep, Stop Meowing and Go
the F*ck to Sleep is a funny take on the frustrations of losing sleep
because of a feline friend. The struggle is real.
Anyone who is a cat lover knows that the cat rules the
roost, and that certainly doesn’t change at bedtime. You might be ready to
sleep, but you can bet that kitty is ready for just about anything but some
shut-eye. Release your frustrations with a good laugh as you read along with
Rosa and her struggle to get Mr. Cat to Stop Meowing and Go the F*ck to
Sleep!
Stop Meowing and Go the F*ck to Sleep is a funny
bedtime book for all the desperate cat parents out there. If you have
experienced the nightmare of having a kitty who won’t let you have a good
night’s sleep, this is the book for you. It’s the perfect gift for crazy cat
lovers who appreciate hilarious insights into the feline nature.
What I love about this book:
It is small in size
and length. . It is just the pick-me-up needed when you need a laugh, (especially when you are tired from being kept up by your cat!)
It would make a great gift for any cat lover!
Be it a get-well gift, a "newly-adopted-cat" gift (hehehe), a birthday gift, it would be a gift that would be sure to make the recipient smile.
Each page is written as a rhyme
and is accompanied by vibrant and darling illustrations by Diana Necsulescu
It is FUN!!
I think many of us can use some fun in our lives right now and Stop Meowing and Go the F*ck to Sleep By Rosa Silva fits the bill purrfectly.
I learned something new
Knowing author Rosa Silva as I THOUGHT (the operative word being "THOUGHT" that I did!), hearing her even utter a frustrated thought about her beloved Mr.Cat, or utter an objectionable word would be something that I would NEVER expect. I LOVE books with unexpected "gifts" and the "gift" for me, (other than the obvious, that this book totally cracked me up!), was learning something new about Rosa. It endeared her to me even more!
More About the author:
Rosa Silva is an author and blogger. When she's not working
on her next book, you can find her reading, chilling on the beach, hanging out
with her cat, or writing the next post for her blog Cat Lady Confidential. Stop
Meowing and Go the F*ck to Sleep is her first book.
I give "Stop Meowing and Go the F*ck to Sleep" By Rosa Silva a resounding 4- PAWS UP!!!
