Caturday Reads: Cats and CEOs have a lot in common
Business Cat: Money, Power, Treats by Tom Fonder Andrews McMeel Publishing Humor Pub Date 27 Sep 2016 Review Business Cat walks the fine line between funny and disturbing, ultimately leaving readers a bit off balance. Why? Cats and billionaire CEOs have a lot in common. Both do exactly what they want when they want without worrying about the affect on their slaves (oops staff). Neither need to work, indeed, their “help” often causes more trouble than assistance. On the o

When I picked up this book I wasn't sure what to expect. The same type of humor doesn't appeal to everyone. I'm not quite sure of the target audience for How to Talk to Your Cat About Gun Safety. To say simpl
