Description

Pussweek: A Cat's Guide to Feline Empowerment is full of hilarious spreads, quizzes, and advertisements, as well as top–notch photos of cats in all their cuteness and weirdness. Based on the magazine series Pussweek, written "by cats, for cats," this book is a feline parody of fashion and celebrity gossip rags.

In a market saturated with "cat shaming," Pussweek gives cats their claws back. With an intelligent editorial voice of their own, these cats don't want dumb memes—they want you to stop secretly filming and posting them on the internet, and they want to empower all of the other feline friends out there who are sick of human nonsense.

•With their own forum, these feisty cats provide a rare look into the private lives of felines everywhere
•Filled with articles of a caliber of humor that are clever and a little bit edgy, while still not above a well-placed cat pun
•A collector's edition featuring some of the series' most popular articles, like "Top 20 Most Satisfying Things to Push Off a Table," "Playtime is Over: The Out of Control Hand that Touched My Furry Place," and "Somewhat Effective Workouts for Extremely Busy Cats," as well as tons of all–new material from cats who have a lot of dirty laundry to air

Every cat owner has wondered: 'What the heck is my cat thinking?' and Pussweek will hold all the myriad answers in one big volume full of outrageously cute (and simply outrageous) cats.

From scandalous pawparazzi pics to revealing litter quizzes, hairy exposès to tell&ndash:tail interviews, you will finally find the feline empowerment that lies within you–and don't take a doggone no for an answer.

•Great for cat owners and cat lovers of all stripes, and those looking for the perfect gift for that crazy cat friend
•Based on the wildly popular Pussweek magazine
•Perfect for fans of How to Tell If Your Cat Is Plotting to Kill You by The Oatmeal, How to Talk to Your Cat About Gun Safety: And Abstinence, Drugs, Satanism, and Other Dangers That Threaten Their Nine Lives by Zachary Auburn, Breaking Cat News: Cats Reporting on the News that Matters to Cats by Georgia Dunn

Cute, colorful and funny. Cat lovers will laugh at this book written for cats.
Some of the subjects include:
Good pee spots
How to find the perfect box
Things to scratch other than your scratcher
Catnip addiction
Fun things to throw on the floor

The pictures are eye catching. The kitties are silly.

This would be a good coffee table book for a cat lover.

I got to read an early ebook edition from NetGalley. Thanks!

This is a hilarious send-up of popular magazines & their articles, all from the cat's point of view. Great for dipping into regularly.

Hilarious! Where in the heck does the author come up with this stuff? From stories of cat litter, to cardboard boxes, and of course the dreaded vacuum cleaner. From start to finish, it's full of laughs and entertainment. It
reads like an "Entertainment Weekly," for cats by cats. It's a bit snarky at times, but that's the beauty of it.

I absolutely loved "Pussweek." I'm still grinning after finishing it, and I'll never look at my cat and dog the same way again. A great book for the cat person in your life. Five stars!

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Definitely a posh parody of a ritzy Gossip magazine for and about cats. It is hilariously funny with great kitty photography. Definitely quirky!

First, I thank netgalley for providing this free ARC, and I promise this is my honest opinion.

This is definitely a book for adults who really love cats and wish they'd know what their cats were thinking or saying even if their thoughts consisted of hating us and coming up with ways to get rid of us.

It's in the style of celebrity/lifestyle magazines with TONS of cute cat pictures, which obviously and honestly was the selling point for me. I wasn't so keen with the quizzes, but the empowerment tips and pictures had me laughing out loud. I highly recommend for cat lovers who want a good laugh.

I'm a self-labeled "dog person", though that's primarily due to an allergy to cats. I think they are a trip...from a distance...where they're not killing me.

That being said, I love watching my friends' cats and kittens online, and hearing all the amusing anecdotes. I definitely thought of several friends I would gift this book to that are cat people. Entertaining, definitely made me laugh a few times.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for sharing this book with me for an honest review.

This book is adorable. It is written form a cat’s view in an almost tabloid style way. Lots of good tips for other cats and a special piece written by a cat who was a dog for a day. This is a quick and easy read that will keep you laughing.

I would recommend to everyone who loves cats.

Completely perfect in every way. Hilarious. Every cat deserves an issue of this fabulous magazine in their homes!

OMG...I've been howling reading this one. Parody of celebrity style magazine written from a feline perspective with gorgeous photos and hilarious articles such as "MY DAY AS A DOG <i>One brave cat goes undercover to find out what it's like to constantly stink and crave human attention.</i>" Or "What Does Your Litterbox Say About YOU?" Comments are sometimes a little edgy and might be a little rough for some people, but I absolutely loved it. Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

"Pussweek: A Cat's Guide to Feline Empowerment" is a book written for cats by cats ... it's a parody of fashion and celebrity gossip magazines. There are lots of stories, columns, quizzes and advertisements directed toward cats who are obviously more intelligent and superior than we humans including:

* Gossip & Style - Who Wore it Better, Bitch Stole My Look and who's been spotting doing things.
* My Day as a Dog - What it's like to need constant love and attention.
Top 20 Pee-Worthy Hotspots - We've been toiling and soiling to find you the best spots to do a nice widdle.
* The Poop Quiz - What does your litter box say about you? It's talking sh*t probably.
* Going Postal - What should you do when your scratching post is just not enough.
* Exposing the Nip - The catnip debate continues.
* Boxing Day - It's a cardboard life. Or is it? Yes, yes it is.
* Creeper Alert - 5 signs your human might be a cat-obsessed nut job
* Top 20 Things to Push Off a Table - Let's take things down a notch. To the floor, specifically.

"Pussweek" is a fun and amusing book and cat lovers will enjoy it. As a head's up, the language is colourful at times. It's full-colour and loaded with fabulous pictures of kitties.

So hilarious. I'm a "crazy cat lady", so stuff like this is my cup of tea. It's right up there with How to tell if your cat is trying to kill you.
