Cat Versus Human (Cat vs Human Book 1) Kindle & comiXology

4.3 out of 5 stars 288 ratings

Yasmine Surovec began sketching her clever and sarcastic Cat Versus Human cartoons as a way to relax and unwind. Soon, her popular blog at catversushuman.blogspot.com began receiving as many as 12,000 hits per day, with a number of posts going viral and appearing on popular Web sites such as The Huffington Post and I Can Has Cheezburger. Now, a selection of 100 Cat Versus Human strips—many never previously published—can be found inside this inaugural collection of Cat Versus Human.

Proud owners of Felis domesticus will instantly recognize Surovec's keen insights into cat behavior and all of the characteristic intricacies of the cat-human relationship, such as the allure of an empty cardboard box trumping an expensive battery-operated toy or how a cat's favorite nap spot might as easily be inside a litter box, on top of clean laundry, or directly on top of a human face. Cat Versus Human also encourages an affectionate look at your once-was-in-mint-condition midcentury modern sofa that is now being unstuffed one cat claw at a time.

    I love this blog, and I was delighted to see cartoons here that I had not seen before! Surovec has a great eye and ear for the absurdities of cat/human interactions.

    I w3as also pleased with the quality of the book- the pages are heavy and glossy, making it an even nicer gift than it would have been if on ordinary paper. And full color throughout! It is a great coffee-table book, since it's so nicely done and eposodic.

    ANYTHING CAT RELATED IS A BIG "A" FOR ME. THIS BOOK DEPICTS SUCH TRUE TO FACT SITUATIONS WE HAVE WITH OUR CAT COMPANIONS. THE CARTOON LIKE SEQUENCES AND DRAWINGS ARE ENDEARING, FUNNY AND HEARTFELT FOR THE CAT LOVER. I RECOMMEND THIS BOOK IF YOU ARE A CAT LOVER SUCH AS MYSELF. I HAVE A WALL HANGING IN MY LIVING ROOM THAT SAYS "DOGS HAVE MASTERS....CATS HAVE STAFF. ENOUGH SAID.

    I have two felines who read this book over my shoulder. They helped give it 4 stars. It would have gotten 5 stars, but the cats said none of the drawings looked like them so they were holding out on an excellent rating. This really is a cute and enjoyable read for anyone living with a cat. I saw myself more than once in this cute set of cartoons.

    If you have ever had a cat you will laugh your ass off when you read this. The author is extremely taleNted and creative...she is so much fun. I have been a crazy cat lady since birth and have friends that are too. After buying this for myself, i couldnt help but buy additional copies for friends. They have all sent me great thanks and have confessed they too have read their book cover to cover multiple times and have not stopped laughing. This is the best book ever for cat lovers..buy it and enjoy many laughs. Love this and so does my husband!

    I only have 2 cats, so the author is one up on me. Even though I am not as fortunate as Ms. Surovec, I can totally identify with everything in this book. The pics with all those adorable kittens all around - just a visual depiction of my dreams.

    This book is spot-on. If you have and love cats, it is a MUST! If you don't have any and never gave cats much thought, beware! You may suddenly realize you've never lived a perfect life and be compelled to enhance your life with one or more cats. All the little annoyances and messes (already nothing when compared with a dog) will totally evaporate once your cat sleeps next to you and gives you the honor of allowing you to leave your hand on her tummy.

    Thank you, Ms. Surovec, for a lovely book. I will keep it with my favorites for a lift when I feel a little blue.

    Yasmine captures the eccentric, independent creature that is a cat. Her illustrations are charming and everything she says is very relatable for a cat owner/lover/fosterer/etc. I got it on my Kindle Paperwhite, which allowed me to quickly read and access it, but seeing the book on my iPad allowed the rich and warm colors of the illustrations come alive.

    I am a big fan of her site, and found this book to exude the same charm. Will get the second book!

    If you've known anyone (or are anyone) who has a love of cats then you will get a kick out of these funnies. I guarantee you will laugh out loud. Some are so over-the-top that you just want to groan but some are so appropriate to a cat lover that you'll be giggling just remembering it later. Would be a nice gift -- as long as the particular cat lover has a good sense of humor about their cat love. :-)

    Ya conocía Cat vs Human de la web y ver esta recopilación sabía que nos iba a encantar. El único problema que no lo vendan también en español, pero tampoco tiene mucho texto y más o menos se entiende por el contexto y las viñetas. Aún así si lo sacaran también en español sería de agradecer...

    5.0 out of 5 stars Some days I feel perpetually one cat away from being a crazy cat lady...
    Reviewed in Canada on December 8, 2013
    If you like cats, if you have cats, if you've known cats, you will get what this book is all about -- cat-lovers, friends or partners of cat-lovers, and the cats that own them. Drawn in a simplistic style that still portrays swaths of emotion (both from the humans and the cats!), anyone who has cats will recognize themselves immediately in situations ranging from "We're too tired to go grocery shopping -- BUT THE CATS ARE OUT OF FOOD OH NO LET'S GO!" to cats thoughtfully donating their fur to the dress clothes you were about to wear out.

    Some things are truly universal, and cat ownership around the world is one of them.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Stupendo!
    Reviewed in Italy on December 5, 2014
    Bellissimo libro!
    Copertina flessibile, con disegni e scritte leggermente in rilievo, retro di copertina stupendo,
    e tantissime pagine illustrate, vignette divertenti.
    Un acquisto soddisfacente, un favoloso regalo per natale e un must per ogni gattara/o! :D

    L'ho ricevuto con una leggera pieghetta in un angolo della copertina, ma immagino sia dovuto all'imballaggio (che, comunque, complessivamente è soddisfacente. inoltre, tempi di spedizione molto veloci!)
