Olivia is an indoor cat, but she’s still a brave adventurer, and a fearless explorer. And, at the end of the day, perhaps it’s cat owners who are the perfect targets for the jokes, since we’ve willingly taken these confident, self-absorbed, unapologetic creatures into our home, and give them whatever they want.Ī Brave Cat is another fantastic example of a cat book that just gets it. They’re perfect targets for dry humor because they’re all tiny house cats that think they’re huge lions. It seems like it’s harder to make a funny dog book, because cats are so quirky and silly and unexplainable. In the meantime, our collection of picture books about cats has ballooned quite a bit in the last few years, and we’re ready to talk about our favorites.Ī Brave Cat Written and Illustrated by Marianna CoppoĬat picture books are probably so good because cats are such a great source of humor. Books, board games, puzzles, TV shows, movies - if they feature cats we’re all about it at the moment. So, as you can imagine, this new development in our house has made cat-themed everything quite popular around here. They can also be pretty fickle and independent, so I think there’s probably a shred of truth in the theory that cats can teach you to be more of a giver and less self-absorbed. Without a doubt I think that cats teach kids how to be gentle and calm and kind. I’m sure there are plenty of interesting psychological studies out there about who grew up with cats and who grew up with dogs, and I bet there’s a lot of truth to the stereotypes as well. It makes me happy that my kids are growing up with cats in the house as well dogs. That’s what having pets in the family is all about. Our 9-year-old in particular has grown a very special bond with his cat, Phantom, and it’s very heartwarming to see. And there’s no doubt about it - we are definitely a cat family now. Luckily, it seems my wife isn’t as allergic as we had thought.
Fast forward a few years and we now have 4 cats in our house.
