As a family of catlovers and an owner of 2 cats, this was a lot of fun for my whole family to read and look at. I highly recommend it to anyone who loves cats.

Loved reading this book. There are so many great pictures of cats and teaches you a lot of things about their behaviour and how to interpret their actions. I believe this would definitely be useful to understand your own cat better. Would recommend to cat lovers and animal lovers alike!

This was pretty cute and informative. I think the intended audience would like this a lot more than me just because I found most the information uninteresting at times and nothing new. But I do think kids would enjoy this.

I found this book insightful and useful since my family is planning to get a cat, plus it was just the right amount of education and entertainment, so I'm letting my younger brother read it as well. He loves animals and I think this would be perfect for him!

Great book and everything, I learnt about things about my cat I didn't know before but the formatting was awful for Kindle apps and such.

I adore cats, and c'mon who doesn't enjoy seeing cute pictures and reading about these little balls of fur?!
What i liked:
-fun facts, there's some i didn't even knew about!
-DIY toys
-cute pictures or "memes"
If you're a cat lover like me, or are planning to adopt one this is definitely a great read for you! Very helpful :)

this book was super cute and very interesting. As a cat lover i learned so much about cats, breeds and their behavior. looking to use some of what i learned with my cat

Informative, well-written, and fun. The only downside was the formatting for the PDF, as it made the text difficult to follow at points and cut up the photos. However, I will definitely bring a physical copy of this book home for my kindergartner sometime soon so that we can read it together.

How to Speak Cat might be marketed as a being for younger readers, but I actually think it’s one of the best books you could pick up to learn about cat care and cat behaviour.
I should have expected National Geographic to put together an excellent guide: they definitely did. Anybody who’s been around cats will know quite a bit of the information already, but what I loved best was that the author took all the theories that are often stated as fact, and questioned them. I learnt more about cats from this than any other “how to” sort of book I’ve read on the subject.
A note, however: DO NOT get this in ebook form! The formatting is – predictably – a mess. The pictures are grey and broken up over a few pages. Some of the text, which I guess is a different colour in the paper version, is in a very light, nearly unreadable shade.
That said, I’d recommend this.

Meow-velous!
As soon as I saw the cover I knew I had to read this charming book ... and it’s by National Geographic Kids. Double winner! Given that my kitty of three years still bites when she wants attention, I hoped it would help decode her language. Happy to report that it’s done that and much much more.
In this fun and informative guide I learned why my kitty loves to climb high, what her various tail positions mean, and what she wants when she exposes her creamsicle-colored belly. I also learned that cats have more than 55 different poses and what each means, got to test my expertise in a super fun interactive “Kitty Case” section, and learned more about vet care, tips, wacky factoids, and training ideas. Plus there are 100+ gorgeous feline photos to drool over. All in all, I’d say HOW TO SPEAK CAT is simply meow-velous! 5/5
My kitty and I thank HarperCollins Publishers and NetGalley for the review copy. Opinions are fully meows.

Incredibly useful information for both new and experienced cat owners!
As someone who’s grown up with cats in the house I knew a lot of the information in the book, but there were still a couple of things that were new to me! Great book to read if you’re thinking of getting a cat!

I found this book very useful and interesting being owned by a cat. There's a ton of information about the cat behaviour and they are both detailed and accurate.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to HarperCollins and Netgalley for this ARC

Not only did this give me an insight into the crazy cat lives of my two bundles of joy (Cassius and Casca), it is an educational look into the connection of little fluffs and the Kings (and Queens) of the jungle.
It also looks at comparisons, relationships and connections between cats and dogs.
