Cat Versus Human (Cat vs Human Book 1)
Yasmine Surovec didn't set out to create a publishing phenomenon. She just wanted to wind down after a long day, pencil in hand, sketching sardonic little observations about life with cats. Those doodles became a blog, and that blog exploded, pulling in up to 12,000 visitors daily, with individual posts spreading across sites like The Huffington Post and I Can Has Cheezburger. This first collected volume brings together 100 strips, a good number of which have never appeared in print before. It's the kind of book that feels less like something you'd read and more like something you'd recognise. Any cat owner will find themselves nodding along at the peculiar logic Surovec captures so well: why a battered cardboard box holds infinitely more appeal than a battery-powered toy that cost a small fortune, or why a cat's preferred sleeping spot might be inside the litter tray, draped across a freshly laundered shirt, or pressed directly onto a human face. There's also a tender, rueful quality to strips about that once-pristine mid-century sofa, now being quietly dismantled, one claw at a time. Warm, sharp, and genuinely funny, this collection works because it tells the truth about cats with real affection rather than mere mockery.
