1. What can I say. We have a stray cat that my daughter and I just love. My daughter has been dieing to figure out what sign our cat falls under since we don't know when our cat was born, being she was a stray. I found this book and it has proven itself an amusing and pretty accurate means of deciphiring our little fluff ball's zodiacal causes of behavior. My daughter claims it to be one of her favorite books. Worth every penny spent to see her smile.

1. Anyone who appreciates and loves cats will love this book. There are over 100 photos and accompanying text that capture the beauty of cats. The book is divided into sections: cats playing, cats sleeping and yawning, cats stalking, leaping, and jumping. There are photos of every part of a cat's daily life and activities. It will certainly help you understand your cat better and provide much enjoyment in the same way as your own cat. A great coffee table book -- it is large!

4 comments about Cat on the Couch: Memoirs of a Cat's Journey into Psychotherapy.

1. This fictional book is about a cat, nicked named Callie, in session with a human therapist. Callie is there to get over her mother abandoning her and many other idiosyncrasies common to a cat, such as excessive hairball production, peeing inappropriately, etc. Although the author captured a cat's behavior well (except for the human aspects such as the Internet gambling addiction), I wish I could say that I found this book funny; but I didn't. I was hoping I'd at least laugh once at Callie's antics, but I just didn't find the story funny and I'm a cat owner for over 20 years. However, I'm glad others were able to. Remember that laughter is subjective and unfortunately my experience differs from what the other reviewers encountered.
   
   On another note, the publishing of the book was substandard. For example, the font type printed in the book sometimes varied in size on the same page. Pages 16 and 42 (and almost every other page) provide good examples of what I'm talking about. These changes were distracting. I'm not referring to the italic font used to indicate the author's private thinking, but the apparent use of a font size 12 one paragraph and then a font size 10 in another paragraph and halfway through the sentence back to another font size 12. In addition, some incorrect wording was left in the text. For instance, "abandoned" instead of "abandonment" should have been used on Page 43; "tone down" instead of "tone done" should have been used on Page 48. There were other proofreading errors throughout the text, such as on Page 49 where one sentence picks up several blank lines down. Nevertheless, this did not cause me to lower my rating as the shoddy publishing is the publisher's responsibility. Most people probably wouldn't notice or even care, but as someone heavily into documentation, all these publishing mistakes broke my focus from the narrative a little bit. I read many books and a few errors are only normal; however, it is unusual to find a book so messy with proofreading errors.
   
   In summary, I found the book to be just okay. The story was cute, silly, and a lighthearted read but not the comedy I was expecting and this is why I rated it a 3.



2. Calico Nicole is one hot cat! Sex, drugs, gambling--it had all the elements of real life from a cat's perspective. Funny, funny book! Cathy Parker must be a cat lover from way back. She has the inside scoop on how cats must really think and feel. She was able to "humanize" Calico to the point you forget she's a cat. When you suddenly remember, it's hilarious. And those outfits were a riot. Cathy Parker is on target. Her descriptions of Calico's numerous disorders were written in easy to follow layman's terms so everyone could feel for Calico and for Cathy. Calico has real issues, issues true to so many of us. As I was reading I could relate to her problems...and I'm not a cat! Cathy must be a excellent therapist. Her insight was terrific! I can't wait for the sequel!



3. If you've ever been in therapy, thought about therapy or are just a cat lover, you'll find Cat on the Couch: A Cat's Journey into Psychotherapy hilarious. Callie the cat drives her therapist crazy with her "issues" which include addictive relationships, fear of heights, infertility, and addiction to internet pornography and internet gambling. Who would ever thought a talking cat could be so much like we are. Read it. You won't be disappointed.



4. Cat on the Couch is fun reading! You'll love hearing the escapades of Calico Nicole Ford, a cat with issues. Cathy brings this feisty fantasy feline to life for us in a way that creates very enjoyable and fun reading! I *highly* recommend this book for those who enjoy laughing out loud. As a licensed clinical social worker, Cathy gives us a healthy dose of laughter, realizing its importance in our lives. Her gift of humor is Cat on the Couch. Thank you so much for writing this very entertaining book!
