Why My Cat Is More Impressive Than Your Baby (The Oatmeal)

Hilarious! this author really does understand cats and babies. These are some of the best cartoons I have seen. Be sure to look at the author's website.

If you like the Oatmeal, you'll love this and if you're new to his art and humor, you might become a dedicated fan.

I never heard of this guy, but love cartoonists with observational bite. I must also admit, forgive me, that I dont have 1 iota of maternal instinct in me and have endured decades of You Name It because I never wanted kids and even being asked if I wanted to hold a baby is akin to being asked if I want to hold a rabid badger, so I identified with this cartoonist. Its one of the rare books that had me laughing out loud. I even sent some screen shot to my mom, who was laughing so hard I ordered her one, too. (The section on a cat hogging your bed is priceless. I wish there was a poster of these panels). I went and got this author's other book out of the library and enjoyed much of those, its a "real person" humor and light, honest storytelling. Tho the drawing seems minimal at times, even the shape of a black cat in these pages conveys tons ( a cat must sleep in a position like its airborn, and its their pillow ,so get over it). Enjoyed and promise laughs!

This book is literally hilarious. I stumbled across it when I was reading an article online, and I absolutely knew I had to have this book. I ordered two, one for the other cat lover in my life. It is so funny. The price is great, it’s hilarious, and wonderful for all cat lovers out there – or even those who aren’t! I would highly recommend this! Fast shipping, excellent quality, and hilarious!

Matthew Inman, better known as "The Oatmeal," has written an important book that makes a convincing argument for several important points - even though it is disguised as a book of humor. He makes an impressive case against having babies that I found entirely convincing. He also makes a very good case for keeping all cats indoors and putting orange collars on them. Finally he makes a good case that if you must have a pet, a dog is the best choice of all (even if it is not a Corgi). The book comes with a nice foldout poster on "how to tell if your cat thinks you'rel not that big of a deal." It would have been better if he had chosen to make a truly educational poster of his powerful argument for making murderous cats indoor pets. This is also a humorous book, though the level of humor is at the level of a young adolescent male, but don't let that distract you from the author's more serious points.

I have been following Matthew Inman's work since nearly the very beginning and I am a real fan of the Oatmeal. This book in general, while containing some familiar stuff that I have already seen, has great content and definitely made me laugh more than I even expected. This time I felt like the facts and emotions got better embedded to the comedic approach and style of Inman more than before, so humor did not ever feel forced. I can easily recommend it to any kind of comic lover.

This book is hilarious. Be forewarned, it's R rated. Having had a baby and now we have a cat, we could relate to every scene in this book. We laughed so hard! This is a great book to give your friends who don't have kids, who do have kids, or who have kids and cats. The drawings are especially funny. Sarcastic, smart, creative, and it reminds me of being back home in New York. Awesome sense of humor. : )

I’ve followed The Oatmeal off and on for a while; I genuinely enjoy his sense of humor. I recently purchased his other book “How to know if your cat is plotting to kill you” and while it was good, almost all of the content Had been seen before. This book is almost all new (to me at least) and freakin great. I’ve laughed so much and I’m not halfway through yet. I’m planning on gifting copies of this to people for the rest of the year.

Ich kannte den Humor des Autors bereits und konnte auch dem beschenkten Katzenfreund eine Freude damit machen. Derber Humor - sehr witzig

I'm a big fan of The Oatmeal (artist). Got one for a gift exchange then one for myself. Those very funny comics about babies and cats are perfect for young adults and party gifts.

Fumetto molto divertente, purtroppo lo seguivo anche su internet, dico purtroppo perché nel libro hanno riproposto tante vignette già viste su internet. Ideale per chi non lo ha mai letto e per chi vuole una raccolta cartacea delle simpatiche vignette di The Oatmeal. Il libro è comunque ben curato ed a colori.

Another great, hilarious Oatmeal book

Funnies book ever :)
