As mew can see I'm getting ready fur my well deserved break, and aftur sharing 45 books with mew I think its furry well deserved! MOL  

 I'm looking furward to doing some serious chillaxing in the garden, snoozing in the sunshine, having a few meowgarita's, ambling through the grass and doing lots of flopping down! MOL

 And on that note I think it's time fur this weeks book, so let get to it...


This week on book reviews with Amber, I'm sharing

This Cat Does Not Love You

by

Emma Young & Katie Abey

Here's the book blurb:

Think your cat loves you? Think you have a special connection, just the two of you? Think again...

All cat owners are convinced their cat adores them, the loving provider of daily food, affection and a warm home. But what would your cat tell you if it could speak? Would they shower you with praise for providing them a loving home? Not likely.

Discover what your cat’s really thinking and what the meaning is behind those looks, twitches and ‘loving’ gestures in this hilarious cat’s-eye view of life.

*    *    *

FYI before I begin; I received this free book in exchange for a fair review.

So my thoughts on This Cat Doesn't Love You.  This book is a real hoot, full of funny quips and delightfully comical illustrations.  One of my favourites is, well I have lot of favourites as I can so relate to Mungo the star of the book, who also happens to be orange.  Orange is the best colour! MOL 

But I digress, one of my favourites is; 


As mew can see the illustrations are just brilliant and as mew flip the pages, effury scenario is so familiar from a 'cat's eye-view' of the wurld.

If mew want a laugh, then this little book is definitely fur mew! The P.A. luffed it, Dad luffed it, so what more can I say; get it, laugh, smile, chuckle and pass on the fun!  

  • Hardcover: 128 pages

Sadly it's time fur me to say BFN or bye-fur-now as mew know the drill, so many books, so little time and join us when we'll be here on Friday with our usual Pet Parade Blog Hop, and don't furget that I'll be back in a couple of months with a whole host of new titles, paw-picked just fur mew!

Happy reading or listening

Colouring with Cats #34 ~ Getting Your OM on with Mandalas on Mondays ~ FREE COLOURING BOOK II ~ EASY MANDALAS


Supurr Monday greetings beautiful furriends

We do hope mew've had a fabulous weekend, ours has been fun.  

Sadly this is the last Colouring With Cats post fur a while as we said last week, we've got a bit of remodeling to do in the bunker aftur Fudge decided to test the new rocket launcher in the firing range #DisasterArea #HeathenCat #TrueStory

But neffur fear, mew know that we'd neffur leave mew in lurch, so that's why today we're launching Colouring With Cats Book II ~ Easy Mandalas, of which there are 16 completely new designs to keep mew occupied offur the summer months, and your OM levels high and your Zen Harmonies offur flowing!

As mew can see the Editor in Chief aka Smoochie has been hard at wurk...


Well I neffur thought Smooch could be so harsh!!!   

The poor P.A. was mortified with the 'moderately satisfactory' comment, let's just say what she said was mostly unrepeatable, howeffur I did hear this snippet 'ungrateful heathen fur child!'  MOL  I can tell mew this though, Smooch has been fired from his Editor in Chief role, effectively immediately!!!  MOL MOL MOL

Also each mandala is drawn freehand, yep it's true, no computer graphics allowed, and we made sure that this time the mandalas were supurr easy to colour and take no time at all, so if mew want a quick colouring fix, then this is the book fur mew.

Swiftly moving on... let's start with our little breathing exercise, which we're sure mew all have down paw by now...  but if mew've furgotten, stop what mew're doing fur a moment and take deep fulfilling breaths; counting to five on the inhale and five on the exhale:

Breathe in
Breathe out

Breathe in
Breathe out

Breathe in
Breathe out

Don't mew feel better already?

Amber and Pandora had an outdoor OM-ing session, they said it was a gurls only thing, and we weren't invited...
But we snuck up on them and took this!!! MOL

*    *    *

If mew have missed any of the previous mandala's and feel the need to colour, here's the links:

Mandala #1  Mandala #2  Mandala #3  Mandala #4  Mandala #5  Mandala #6   

All the mandala's featured are created & designed by us, unless otherwise stated.


So without further ado here's our latest book fur your entertainment; just click the link below to go and download it!  Print it on your favourite paper and mew can be off on a colouring safari in no time! 
How cool is that? MOL
