I received this book from edelweiss in exchange for a honest review.

I just cannot resist an adorable book about cats! Especially when it is all about rating those fluffballs!~ I don’t know the writer, according to the blurb he is quite known and makes videos as well, sorry to the kind vet, but I haven’t heard of you. I am definitely curious to check out his profiles now after reading this book though.

Before we start seeing the ratings for each cat we get a starter-course on CRS, Cat Rating System. Because we aren’t just rating a cat willy-nilly, oh no! There are many aspects that a cat can score high on. For instance there is Ears with all sorts of ears like airplane or folded to Chonkiness going from sleek to Oh Lawd, They comin’! to legs and mouths/moufs to personality and much more! I really loved how detailed it was and I will definitely use this rating system when I spy a cat outside! Sadly, allergic to cats so I can only pet them briefly or watch from afar. Only when you know all the bits about the rating system it is time to dive into it.

And we start off with the bebes aka the kittens followed by Adults then followed by Seniors, and lastly a special section featuring fighters. Cats that have been through a lot but pulled through despite a rough start or rough life things happening to them. I think my favourite section was the kittens. Sorry, I just love a kitten. They are so tiny. So cute.

I had a lot of fun reading about the cats (we also get an about and some facts about the cat like age and location) and seeing how they rated on various aspects. The author selects different ones for different cats. For instance with one you may get chonkiness and with the other one you can get purrsonality. It was great fun that it wasn’t just the same. Some really made me laugh. Others made me go aww. And yes, I shared several with my hubby as well.

The illustrations. OH MY GOSH. So cute! So adorable! You just want to reach out and pet the cats!

I loved that at the end we also got small portraits of each of the cats! I would have liked maybe them being a bit bigger, but it still brought a smile on my face, especially given how well the illustrations captured the cats.

All in all, if you love cats, love cuteness, and love some humour, try out this one!
