The cat's answer to "Sorry I Pooped in Your Shoe," "Sorry I Barfed on Your Bed" is a hilarious collection of full-color photos and letters of excuses and suggestions from cats to the people who love them--no matter what bad thing they've done
Inside "Sorry I Barfed on Your Bed," writer and comedian Jeremy Greenberg presents a collection of laugh-out-loud letters and photographs that offer a cat's eye view on common feline vs. human cohabitation conundrums. It's the perfect gift for crazy cat lovers and anyone who appreciates hilarious (and so true ) insights into cat--and human--nature, including:
Your cat sits on your laptop not just for warmth or attention, but to prevent you from interacting with the outside world. After all, isn't the main reason to have a cat so you don't have to waste time developing normal human relationships?
If you spent a third of your life licking yourself, you too would occasionally forget to stick your tongue back in your face.
Eating grass has medicinal purposes, and most cats believe grass should be legalized.
The cat feels bad about barfing on your bed...because now it must get to up to go sleep on your clean laundry instead.
