{April 10, 2013}   {Review} Sorry I Barfed on Your Bed by Jeremy Greenberg

From Goodreads: The cat’s answer to Sorry I Pooped in Your Shoe,17324089 Sorry I Barfed on Your Bed is a hilarious collection of full-color photos and letters of excuses and suggestions from cats to the people who love them—no matter what bad thing they’ve done! Inside Sorry I Barfed on Your Bed, writer and comedian Jeremy Greenberg presents a collection of laugh-out-loud letters and photographs that offer a cat’s eye view on common feline vs. human cohabitation conundrums. It’s the perfect gift for crazy cat lovers and anyone who appreciates hilarious (and so true!) insights into cat—and human—nature, including:

  • Your cat sits on your laptop not just for warmth or attention, but to prevent you from interacting with the outside world. After all, isn’t the main reason to have a cat so you don’t have to waste time developing normal human relationships?
  • If you spent a third of your life licking yourself, you too would occasionally forget to stick your tongue back in your face.
  • Eating grass has medicinal purposes, and most cats believe grass should be legalized.
  • The cat feels bad about barfing on your bed…because now it must get to up to go sleep on your clean laundry instead.

This is for us cat lovers out there.  I wouldn’t say I’m a “cat lady,” but I do enjoy the companionship I have with my two felines, and their awkward sleeping habits, as well as strange actions in general make me giggle on many an occasion.  I actually picked this one up on Netgalley because, not too long ago, my Bella did barf on my bed—while I was in it, no less.  I woke up to it, right below my chin, on my brand new comforter.  Best. Present. Ever.

This short picturesque storybook has real photos of cats doing awkward things, and Greenberg’s wit concocts a humorous letter from kitty for each one, explaining just why they do the things they do.  It’s great for a giggle and a smile if you’re looking for something light, a bit funny, and a little awkward.  Three stars.

3 stars
