Riassunto:

A completely original and funny new take on cats. Doogie Horner, a writer and illustrator, knows just what it is about cats that so obsesses and delights ustheir impenetrable personalities, their self-contained quirkiness, the aura of mystery that makes it seem as if theyre always up to something that they dont want us to know about. So he imagines their secret lives for us, in a way that takes the most surprising and whimsical turns.

With full-color illustrations and absurdly funny short stories, Some Very Interesting Cats Perhaps You Werent Aware Of  is a gallery of 100 impossible cat characters. Like the Alien cat, Xort, who reports back to his planet: Have trained my humans to feed and pet me. They suspect nothing. Or the Mountain Climber cat, Snowball, who is planning a perilous route up the North Curtain to Mt. Bookcase. Or Mystico, the Magician catno one could figure out how he sawed a dog in half. (The answer was simple: He didnt like dogs.) And Hjalmar, the Viking cat, whose motto is Pillage. Tuna. Plunder. Nap.
 

Dalla quarta di copertina:

If, like most humans, your experience with felines is limited to the typical house cat, prepare for an eye-opening read. Here you will meet cats who are truly interesting:

• The Amazing Vespucci Brothers, high-flying acrobats extraordinaire
• Mystico, the magician and his multiplying mice
• Snowball, the mountain climber who is about to make a perilous ascent up the North Curtain to Mt. Bookcase
• Riggs, the undercover detective who's been embedded with a dog pack so long he's begun to like the taste of Milk-Bones.

And many more!
