I liked the concept of a cat sending texts to his owner, but I just didn't find it funny. My full review appears on Weekend Notes.

Kids would find this funny. It is a random text exchange between a cat Mittens and all of his family and friends.

This was a super cute, quick book! I have two cats myself. It was funny to think about what texts my own cats would be sending me.

A bored kitty sends texts to his loved ones and small interactions are captured. While some of them are funny, but still no where near Garfield funny... But a nice concept regardless....

I think there was some formatting issues as well with this since I can see text screen on many pages and for so many other pages, it is just back of mobile cover....:(

Thanks to Netgalley for the ARC of this book. This was a really cute funny book. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

When I picked this book up, it was because the cover amused me. I had never seen Bailey's previous Mitten's book. I am so happy that I decided to read it...Laugh out loud funny, I found myself going through the entire thing in one sitting and then reading it a second time. So hunting down the first book now to see what I missed of Mitten's text messages.

While I really enjoyed her first book of Texts from Mittens (and did still enjoy this one) I was a little disappointed. It felt like a lot of the jokes were actually based upon autocorrect and could have been in any book regardless of whether or not it was written by a feisty feline. That's not to say there wasn't plenty of original and funny texts; I just wish there were more.

A delightful and entertaining book- "purrfect" for cat lovers! I found myself laughing out loud throughout this book as Mittens texted various animal and human friends. Thank you to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for an ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

What if your cat could text you?

Texts from Mittens is a brief, amusing book that imagines the life of a cat owner with their feline companion. Some of the dialogue was actually very smart and funny, but in other instances it felt lacking and looked as if the author was trying a bit too much to create something funny where there was actually little room for it.

Nevertheless, it was an amusing short read, one that will appeal especially to all cat fans out there.

Have you ever had one of those 3 AM thoughts where you wonder “What if animals could talk?” But hear me out, what if animals could text? 😂

Mittens a typical suave and sassy cat who loves boxes, pizza, fleece, and a lady cat Fiona. Mittens love to text his Mom (who doesn’t want to get up at 4 am to feed him), Grandma (who gives him unlimited ear rubs and likes going to casinos with Drunk Patty), Stumpy (his bestfriend who may or may not be into catnip trafficking), Earl (the goodest dog), and Drunk Patty (a good ‘ol neighbor whose things Mittens like to steal).

I particularly love the mix of puns and personification of cat problems and traits! Like when Mittens panicked over his recent discovery that he’s colorblind or when his phone auto-corrected “mutt” to “nut”, so his mom told him he no longer has those lol. This book is making me want to chat with a sassy cat too lol

Text from Mittens are snaps of short conversations between Mittens, Fiona (feline girlfriend), Stumpy (wild feline friend), Earl (dog brother), Mom, Grandma, and a rowdy neighbor, Drunk Patty who owns a turtle pet named Speedy. The relationships and characters really blends well with the conversation between Mittens and whoever he's talking too.

I love the concept but it needs a few tweaks for the jokes or humor to be delivered smoothly. Some texts are just the same. But all in all, it's a pretty funny book that can accompany you anywhere and can give you a few laughs, I mean, it's a cat book. What could go wrong? :)

Cat lovers! Hide your phones! Mittens may be leading the feline revolt via his snarky texting! And now that this book is available, his minions may join him in the texting revolution!

In all seriousness, this book was great fun. I enjoyed Mittens and his crazy group of friends and "family." Don't drink anything while reading this book because sometimes it's laugh-out-loud funny and you just might snort your coffee through your nose. (Don't ask me how I know this, just trust me.)

Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.

I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting from a book that is all texted conversations where one of the texters is a cat. I expected it to be cuter than it was, instead it was just random conversations with too many hashtags. To me it would be more of a bathroom read for the extreme cat lover.

It was an extremely quick read and takes well under an hour to get through completely.

3.75 stars.

Texts from Mittens is a great little novelty/coffee table book that would be relatable to anyone who has owned (or been owned by) a cat. Full of fun shenanigans in the form of text messages between Mittens and his mom, grandma, dog brother and other cats.

If you're looking for a cute book that is sure to make you laugh and you understand the whims of felines, this would be right up your alley. As someone who has a cat and fully accepts that she rules the household, this 100% hit the spot. Many of the portrayed conversations perfectly show some of the more humorous aspects and motivations of cats, especially boxes.

I could probably read these and other text messages like them for days without getting bored. It would be a great book to have and pick a page at random for a quick laugh.

I think this would be a great coffee table book for lovers of cats everywhere.

We are treated to texts from Mitty the cat to his friends, family and Earl the dog who he has to live with. There aren't any pictures or graphics in the book, just the text messages between Mitty and his friends. It is amusing, not laugh out loud humour, but still a good one to read.

Hilarious. If my cat had thumbs, this is what he would text me. Texts from Mittens is like Garfield for the modern age. Texts from Mittens: The Friends and Family Edition, includes conversations in the form of text messages between Mittens the cat and his friends and family.

Mittens, like all cats, is wry, witty, self-centered, and has a lot of CAT-titude!

When I was young, I grew up with Garfield and Friends. Now, instead of Garfield, John, Odie, and Nermal, modern readers have Mittens, Mom, Grandma, Fiona (Mitten’s kitty girlfriend), and Earl (the dog whom Mittens calls #FilthyHound).

The main character is Mittens and the book focuses on how he interacts with his friends and family. I couldn’t stop grinning while I read this book. As I read each exchange between Mittens and his friends, I kept sneaking loving glances at my own feline companion.

I couldn’t stop smiling and sneaking glances at my own feline friend while I read this book!

There is a whole cast of characters in this little book, and conversations between Mittens and his friends range from laugh out loud funny to just plain silly. Like any book of humor, there are some jokes that I found to be funnier than others. While I loved watching the interaction between Mittens and Earl (whom he calls #FilthyHound) I was not particularly amused by the characters “Stumpy,” and “Drunk Patty.” However, I know every one has a different sense of humor and other readers might enjoy those sections.

My favorite conversations occurred between Mittens and his Mom. If you are a person who is owned by a cat (because all cat lovers know that cats don’t have owners, they have staff) then I am certain you will find a lot to love in the relationship that Mittens and his Mom share.

If my cat had thumbs, this is what he would text me!

Although I didn’t care for some of the “cat nip” humor and the character “Drunk Patty,” fell flat for me, the majority of the book left a smile on my face. As I sat reading, I couldn’t shake the feeling that my own cat had somehow lost his cellphone and that I was reading messages that he might have written. If my cat had thumbs, I’m certain this is what he would text me.

I’ve been a little down lately, and this sweet book of animal humor was the happy pick-me-up I needed. I recommend this book for all animal lovers who are in need of a chuckle.

Note: Thank you, Net Galley, for a free copy of this book! I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

I used to read Texts from Mittens all the time when it first arrived, but it seemed to have disappeared - or maybe I just haven't been searching for it lately. But as a Cat Daddy to three gorgeous feline daughters, I love the quirky humor, and it was fun to revisit all the old (and some new characters) -I <3 Drunk Patty most. I should have paced myself though, as doing a couple at a time is preferable than binge reading, since they seem to suffer from a bit of 'sameness' that way.

Sincere thanx to Netgalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for the ARC in exchange for this honest review.

This books was hilarious. I loved the way that it was written nice short text message exchanges between out lovely kitten hero mittens and his friends and owner. One thing that I found very interesting was that the whole story was written in pictures of cellphones so you could really see the text messages. I've never read a book even close to this before but I really enjoyed it. This is a must read for children or for cat lovers as all of the exchanges really feel as if they are coming for your own pet cat. And the best part is you don't have to read it all in order you can start or stop at any point and you still get the point of the story. I'm glad that I got to check out this book this quick read will lighten any mood.

Who doesn’t enjoy getting Texts from Mittens?

Mittens is a typical cat. He has a healthy obsession with boxes and shampoo caps. His girlfriend, Fiona, thinks he is romantic when he suggests her coming up to his cat condo to rub their faces on an old sock together. He suspects his (human) mother is hanging out with her “sketchy raccoon gang friends”. Mittens helpfully suggests boyfriends for her on an online dating website, “How about Jeff? He owns a seafood shop! Great catch! LOL.” His best friend, tomcat and playa Stumpy, may be involved with a catnip trafficking ring. Overall, Mittens is just your typical house kitty...who texts.

While only occasionally laugh-out-loud funny, Texts from Mittens is cute. Many of Mittens’ obsessions will be familiar to cat owners. Garfield fans will recognize Mittens disbelief at the absurdity of roommate, and “filthy hound” Earl, who carries sticks for no reason. This book would make a good gift for the “crazy cat lady” in your life. 4 stars!

Thank you to Andrews McMeel Publishing and NetGalley for an advanced copy in exchange for my honest review.

This was cute! If you've ever found yourself chatting with your cat and wondering what they're thinking, this is the book for you. Great fun!
