Catology

Very funny. The majority of theservice made me laugh out loud and the illustrations were fantastic

I loved this little book, I have 6 rescue cats, or they have me, so it was right up my street.I laughed out loud at some of the cartoons and they were so accurate.This would be a lovely Christmas stocking filler for a cat lover, great fun.

This is a cute collection of cat comics which poke fun at cats' various weird mannerisms and their relationships with their servants, sorry, I meant owners,. The illustrations are nice enough, but "Catology" really shines when it comes to the captions,which are really well done.

Any cat owner will recognise the feline situations in this book. Skillfully yet simply drawn, the cartoons represent the day to day life of your average spoilt moggie.

I have two kitties and books about cats always catch my eye.

This book has about 80 cartoons that will give you insight into the motivation of your kitty. This was a quick fun read and kitty lovers will find it amusing.

This book does exactly what it says on the tin. Insight into the mind of a cat; oh my goodness, who would really want to go there? Scary place. Well, it is if my cat is the patient on the psychologist's couch anyway.
As with all cartoon books of this type, especially when you throw the subject matter of cats into the mix, some of the cartoons will be funnier than others. Some will resonate, some won't. Some will make you nearly weep with laughter, some will just make you chuckle and a few just won't click? But then that's the beauty of cats. They are all in their own scary way unique. As long as the majority evoke some kind of reaction, I'd call it a win and it was for me with this book. It even brings us right up to date with respect to cats and their every increasing popularity on social media. That could cover a whole book in itself but it is very well covered here in amongst all the other cat related plotting, general observation and other shenanigans!
Always on the hunt for stocking fillers and other silly "saw this and thought of you" presents, having originally read the ebook version, I went on to get me an actual physical copy of the book itself and I have got to say that it's even better in the flesh so to speak. I know a fair few people I will be gifting it to.
All in all, a great little book that will definitely be of interest for cat slaves. Just be aware that it could also get into the hands of those not feline-inclined who may just use it to say "I told you so"!

My thanks go to NetGalley and the Publisher for the chance to read an advance copy of this book.

Catology, by Adrian Searle and Oliver Ninnis, is a cute little book of one-shot comics illustrating what goes on inside the minds of our furry little overlords. Most are incredibly believable interpretations of feline behaviour. One moment sweet and cuddly, the next all flailing claws and teeth, cats are certainly among our most fickle pets. Cats are more 'recent’ domesticates, and still retain most of their wilder behaviour, never mind that, with exceptions of species like lions, most cats do not live in large groups. Unlike dogs, with their pack mentality, cats are fiercely independent, fickle little things. They are royalty and they know it. I enjoyed all of this quick read. Three of my favourites were a comic of a cat in a tree, with the caption 'I’m not stuck. I'm only here so I can look down on you in contempt’, a cat on a table who is about to knock over a wineglass, with the caption 'We all know how this is going to play out and it is most definitely your fault, not mine’, and a cat hiding behind a couch staring at a vacuum cleaner, with the caption 'Indeed the Devil himself walks the earth and his name is Dyson’.


🎻🎻🎻🎻 Recommended for anyone who loves cats!

Such a fun book! This book is a collection of drawings about cats and what they are thinking. And boy are they on point! I laughed so much that my own kitties appeared to be wondering about me! It was a fun book to read and I was able to read it relatively fast. It was a great way to be away from the world for a bit, reading about the minds of the felines that I personally love so much. I could relate easily to so many of them, from scratching, eating, hairballs, and wanting all of my attention.

If you love cats, read this! You will enjoy it. So should everyone else!

Love this book :)
Hilarious, made me laugh-out-loud and the illustrations were perfect! I will be trying to get this for some Christmas gifts!

“Catology” made me laugh so hard I kept snorting. It is a perfectly dark view of cat psychology told through cartoons. It would make the perfect holiday gift for a friend or loved one who loves cats but recognizes that they can be devious and cunning creatures. It is definitely an adult book, so keep that in mind.

Highly recommended for a laugh!

I loved this collection of illustrations and all the cat humor on this! If you are a feline fan then don't miss out on this one!

Simple and funny. I think a few of the comics might be a bit too far for younger kids but for an adult with cats I thought it was spot on.

Adrian Searle and Oliver Ninnis have observed that "cats are every in the venal, self-serving, indolent and utterly ruthless domestic squatters that they're made out to be," but "that's why we love them." In Catology: Inside the Twisted Mind of Our Feline Friends, Searle and Ninnis reveal the inner workings, secrets plotting, and ulterior motives of cat personalities. Their simple black and white illustrations, accompanied by the cats' narratives reveal what we have always known. For example, of course our cats plot to eat us while we sleep. And in case we survive, they will annoy you by sitting your face, keyboard, or wherever is least comfortable and convenient for you.

The illustrations and cat quotes are an uneven batch, ranging from very funny to ho-hum. Cat lovers will enjoy Catology, but the real audience is cat owners who are cat haters, or maybe lovers of cat owners who can't understand why the cat lovers love cats.


Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!

Cats and their owners have always had a relationship based on equality instead of the owner-dog relationship which can be likened to that of master-servant. Cats simply rule. They do what they want, how they want, and when they want. Their owners adore them unconditionally.

This book is made up of many cartoons that will have the reader laughing especially if they are owned by a cat or two.

As a Crazy Cat Mom of three delightful kitties, I enjoyed this book of cartoons. Whether you have cats or not, don’t miss this. It’s really enjoyable.
