Customer Reviews

Sense of humor required

There are two important points to keep in mind about this book. One, the reader must have a sense of humor. If you don't have a sense of humor, don't buy this book! Two, this is not an instruction manual, see point one. I really hope there are no truly clueless people out there who tried this with their brains turned off. When I first read this book, I was on the ground laughing. Unfortunately, it was out of print at the time, so I had to wait several years to get a copy.

Charming, hilarious classic

I first got this book about 30 years ago, when I was a teenager. It made me laugh so hard then that it brought me to tears. Every few years I pull it out to share with someone and it STILL makes me cry with laughter. I'm sorry to find that some people have the opposite reaction. To me, it's hard to understand. I love my cat and know this book isn't meant seriously. It's a deliciously ridiculous 'how-to'. I will always love it.

We love this book!

My family owned this book 25 years ago and I thought it would be out of print... everyone loves it, from kids to elders.

How to Massge Your Cat

Well... If you are expecting that this book is massage book for cat, May be you shouldn't buy this... But, I love this book !

Sent our friends into spasms of hysterical laughter

Our friends have dalmations, who they have trained to smile in a smarmy fashion. When they command the dogs "Smarmy dog!" the dogs lift their lips and sneer. It's a hoot. Naturally, THEY would be the ones to buy "How to Massage Your Cat."They couldn't keep from gasping with laughter as they showed us this treasure. It's quasi-serious, but packed with funny drawings around the ludicrous concept of massaging the generally loosely constructed lump of flesh that is a feline. Of course, your cat may actually need to be massaged, but then, who doesn't?
