Following the success of <em>Cat Getting Out of a Bag<\/em>, this all-new collection of color and black-and-white comic strips loosely follows the adventures of a pair of cats as they explore the world around them, indoors and out. Adventures include taking a nap, licking a shoe, attacking dust particles, hiding in cabinets, pouncing on fallen leaves, confronting the vacuum cleaner, patrolling the yard, and purring up a storm &#8212; all adorably rendered in Brown&#8217;s immediate and irresistible style. Sure to delight anyone who lives with cats and appreciates their sweet and batty behavior, this beautifully packaged gift book is the cat&#8217;s meow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>My take:<\/strong> A Christmas gift from Sam hand delivered when he came to town earlier this fall, this graphic novel is the sequel to the beloved <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spritewrites.net\/?p=916\"><em>Cat Getting out of a Bag<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While I didn&#8217;t find this one quite as charming as the original, it still offered delightfully illustrated vignettes of a pair of cats doing catlike things. &#8220;Resistance Is Futile&#8221; portrays a cat demonstrating who the boss is to a pile of papers placed on a desk. &#8220;The Look&#8221; is familiar to anyone who has ever tried to avoid moving for fear of disturbing the cat dozing on their lap. And, honestly, &#8220;Evidence of Cat Ownership or Why Cats Can&#8217;t Have Nice Things&#8221; hit just a little too close to home in our present Age of Corey.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, a sweet collection of feline-friendly comics and a pleasant way to spend an hour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pages:<\/strong> 108<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cats Are Weird and More Observations by Jeffrey Brown From the jacket Powells&#8217; blurb: &#8220;Cartoonist Jeffrey Brown&#8217;s drawings perfectly capture the humor and quirkiness of cats in all their strange and charming glory.
