Cats want you to know something. Yes, they misbehave sometimes. They do things that you may not approve of. They vomit in places you don’t want them to. But they have reasons for doing what they do, where they do it. And they’re sorry. Sort of. Some of the time. Maybe. And they would tell you, if they could.

And because they can’t, author Jeremy Greenberg has taken it upon himself to express cats through love letters and adorable photos. Luna, for example, wants you to know that she is training her voice day and night because she just knows she will be a superstar one day. And Zero uses his superior sense of smell to point out that the pile of laundry is just a big funky smell. And that maybe you should rethink the man bun.

Meshuggah wants you to know that you don’t need to worry about anything while you’re away for the weekend, as there is no longer a flowerpot to push into the fishbowl, and he probably learned his lesson about chewing through computer cords last time. He’ll just stay home and nap it out, so you needn’t be concerned at all. And Tasha is genuinely sorry that she barfed on your bed again. She tried not to. She was aiming for that ugly mohair sweater you wear all the time.

And then there’s Ovid, poor Ovid. He wants you to know that he saw you cleaning out the cat carrier, but he no longer needs it, as he has died. He has gladly sacrificed one of his nine lives not to go to the vet, so you can call the doctor and let him know the news.

These adorable cats, and many of their friends, just want a quick word to share their innermost thoughts with you, and maybe some head butts, so that you can see life from their perspective. Sorry I Barfed on Your Bed Again is an adorable look at life from feline level. Filled with warm humor and that cat cuteness that makes it so hard to get mad at them, this short gift book is a great pick-me-up for cat lovers everywhere. This is one to keep in mind for holidays, birthdays, and for any cat person going through a tough time. And meow!
