5 out of 5 stars Funny.......2007-07-02

As a cat lover and as a (not so continuous) student of the French language, I thought this book was funny. The author has certainly captured the attitude of most cats in this world. If you want a chuckle here and there and to learn a little French along the way, then this is the book for you.

1 out of 5 stars Huge Let-Down.......2007-02-21

This product was definitely mis-represented. Although it contains quite a bit of dry wit, the French translation has absolutely no phonetic assistance. So, if you don't know how to pronounce the phrases - you are out of luck. If I wanted a book of one-liners, I would have purchased something from Shecky Greene or Jackie Mason. I wound up re-gifting this book to a French acquaintance of mine. Don't waste your money.

5 out of 5 stars Undiluted Fun, Irresistable, Nicely Illustrated.......2005-12-18

Don't over think this one. This little book won't be mentioned on Oprah or noted at your book club. Just buy a used copy of this book and stuff it into your jacket pocket until you need to pass some time with a smile on your face. If you like cats or just want to brush-up on your French you'll find this colorfully illustrated book a delight. There is an added benefit beyond your amusement. You will find the experiences of "le chat" useful in social situations. The next time you are at a boring function remember what your feline friend would say.

5 out of 5 stars French for Cats: All the French Your Cat Will Ever Need.......2005-08-23

This is an absolutely delightful book with cute illustrations as well as clever observations about cats. It is also a fun way to brush up on your French. I first read this little book in the waiting room of my veterinarian's office. It was so cute, I had to have my own copy. I keep it on the coffee table and reread it from time to time just to lift my spirits. Anyone who loves cats will enjoy every page. It would make a cute gift for a cat lover.

5 out of 5 stars Funny & cute book for sophisticated cat owners........2003-12-24

Soon you too can say "J'aime ce livre" (I love this book), and "Enlevez le chien svp" (Remove the dog please). And you'll know what was said when you hear "Donnez-moi ce poisson de votre plat" (Give me that fish on your plate)..Ok, ok, I cobbed these phrases from google, but really that quote about the hairball from another reviewer is in the book. And the one's in the book are as good.
