Dena Harris is not going to endear herself to fat cats anywhere with her most current humor book, Does This Collar Make My Butt look Big: A diet plan book for Cats, however she will sure make the humans choosing up this tongue-in-cheek parody of diet plan books laugh.
This bit book supplies weight-loss ideas as well as techniques for “extra fluffy felines” modeled along prominent physical fitness regimes such as The Mayo center diet plan (“Vary your water sources. The water meal is so over. Water from the kitchen area faucet or toilet must be offered on demand.”), The South beach diet plan (“Phase I of this diet plan includes the total denial of all foods that make you purr.”), as well as the “French women Don’t get Fat…But Their Cats Do” diet.
With recommendations ranging from exercises for the comatose feline to mastering your metapurrlism, this book is sure to offer something for each feline desiring to get svelte, with features including
an introductory quiz figuring out what type of diet plan fits the cat’s purrsonality type
raw as well as living food recommendations,complete with Q&A (Q: Is it truly risk-free to eat raw meat?” A: “Two million feral cats can’t be wrong.”)
a listing of Superfuds (“whatever’s in the bowl or on your human’s lap”.)
tips for continued weight loss success (“Avoid reading “cute kittens” calendars. They’ll just make you feel poor about yourself.”)
Obesity is no joke. a lot more than 50% of America’s cats are overweight. When I very first got this book for review, I had mixed feelings about it, since I don’t like the “fats cats are funny” stereotype, as well as I concern that perpetuating it will only contribute to the obesity epidemic. in spite of my misgivings, I discovered myself chuckling throughout the book. Dena Harris sticks to the normal trend diet plan book formula, however provides it from a cat’s point of view, as well as she does this so well, you just can’t assist however laugh.
This book was sent to me by the publisher. getting the free copy did not influence my review.

Now that Katie is proudly down to her perfect weight, she can laugh about it…so we believe this seems like a humorous book! …plus, we are big fans of Ann as well as her terrific illustrations.
We hope both Dena as well as Ann do extremely well with this new book!
