Review for How To Be Owned By A 2nd Cat
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
I don’t have any cats of myself (very allergic), but I do love books about having cats and so I just had to get this book when it appeared on Netgalley. I loved the cover and the preview I read for the first one promised a fun and interesting writing style.
In this short book (38 pages) we read about the author’s cats, about her experience with adding a second cat (who was a kitten while her other cat was more adult), and more. It was very well written and I loved that we read about various things that her cats do. From opening cupboards and drawers to demanding food at weird times to her singing that shark song to one of her cats (it is his favourite which had me in stitches). Her cats are amazing and really know how to press the right buttons. XD
Next to those we also have various tips and help on how to introduce a second cat, what to do when things go wrong, how to get them closer to each other without the murder that may happen, and so on. I found it very interesting to read. She also warns that you should really think about getting a second cat. It is a lot of fun when they get along, but that you should also remember that you now have two cats to care for. If one is sick, the other is bound to get sick as well. Food, both need it. Love, both need it. So it is a big commitment.
I loved that we got the POV of the two cats. The kitty at the beginning and her first cat as the closer. I wouldn’t mind a book with them. It was just so cute.
All in all, I had fun reading this book. I would definitely recommend it.
