Publisher Description
This diet-guide parody shows "extra furry" cats how to get svelte with kitty-specific versions of popular weight-loss and fitness regimes like the Zone, South Beach, Mayo Clinic, and French Women Don't Get Fat (But Their Cats Do).
Americans own more than 86 million cats, and the wild popularity of cat videos--from YouTube to the Internet Cat Video Film Festival--proves that cat-lovers can't get enough kitty humor. This book pokes fun at tubby tabbies--the world's cutest (and surliest) fat creatures--with laugh-out-loud details that will tickle the funnybone of anyone "owned" by a cat. Lampooning trendy weight-loss regimes and health gurus, this book will also make people feel better about their own battle of the bulge in comparison to cats' insatiable appetites and lazy lifestyles. By eating right for their blood type, sourcing raw and living foods, joining Weight Stalkers, avoiding toxic treats, and exercising while lying down, felines of every shape (round) and size (round) will soon be motivated to ditch the fifth serving of Beef Morsels in Gravy for fresh, local options like that vole in the backyard.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In this hilarious diet-book parody, Harris (For the Love of Cats), a former humor columnist for Cats & Kittens magazine, adapts human diets for "extra fluffy" cats. After "diagnosing" feline personality types from comatose to psycho the author suggests an appropriate diet plan, such as the Paleo diet ("Stick to lean meats. This means no more feeding gourmet cheeses to the mouse in an attempt to plump him up before you eat him") and "Catty Craig" ("Catty Craig is NOT right for you if you prefer to catch, kill, and devour your own food"). Exercise tips, such as "challenge the dog to a wrestling match under your person's bed," allow kitties to boost their fat-burning potential. Bonus features include a feline advice columnist named Flabby Tabby, "success stories" from animals such as Madame Puss and Princess Whiskers, and a guide for humans who want to put their pets on a diet (after they weigh themselves, of course.). This tongue-in-cheek offering will deliver laughs to pet owners and non pet owners alike. Full-color illus.
