99 Reasons to Hate Cats: Cartoons for Cat Lovers

99 Reasons to Hate Cats is for cat lovers - and those who manage to just peacefully coexist. You'll find yourself and your cat (or cats) in the pages of this fun, funny cartoon book. It shows the many ways our feline friends can make us smile, laugh and be driven a little crazy.

Here are a few of the lovingly documented reasons to hate cats:

Reason 12: Waking up in the morning before you do
Reason 19: Thinking every can is full of tuna
Reason 33: If you were small enough, they'd eat you.
Reason 56: Throwing up in just the wrong spot
Reason 91: Every chair is the cat's chair

All of the reasons are inspired by daily life with real cats. Short biographies of each of the felines who inspired the art are included in the back of the book.

Each of the 99 reasons are amusingly illustrated with original cartoon art. The images are simple, expressive and appeal to young and old alike. Illustrations are shown in color on your Kindle app (on iPhone, iPad and Android), Kindle Fire and the Amazon Cloud Reader.
