Our cat is a genius, apparently!
My partner and I had a lot of fun with this book! It has four sections to 'test your cat's IQ'. A. Cat Observation Test; B. Cat Performance Test; C. Extra Credit; D. Credit Deductions. The second two sections were quite silly & amusing, with extra credit for walking on hind legs, and potential deductions for behaviour such as falling into the toilet. The observation test section awards points for how often your cat engages in certain behaviour such as licking after eating and sleeping in the same place. The performance test is short, and awards points according to your cat's reaction to certain actions such as rolling a ball on the floor and touching the inside hair of their ear. While we thought that most of the behaviour in the observation test would be merely a sign of a healthy kitty, we still had a laugh doing the whole test. And we are delighted to find that our kitty is apparently a genius after her very high score! A good fun book for any cat owner.

Fun little book
I enjoyed this book. It wasn't quite what I expected, as most of the IQ test is made up of observing your cat doing everyday things rather than actually giving them tasks. I enjoyed the task section and so did my cat, who went utterly bonkers when confronted with a piece of string, a pencil and a bell! This would make a nice little present for any cat owner.

The concept and calculations work!
At first when I first saw it I thought `aw it`s probably just anothere stupid book trying to be funny and take the piss out of me and my cat` [mind my french], but when I read it through that same night, I was suprised to find that it had quite fullfilling tasks in it and that you could actually calculate your cats IQ by using formulae in the back. I started it on quite a few cats, but never actually got to the end because I didn`t bothere with silly questions like: `Does your cat keep his tail flat on the floor while eating` and `Does he enjoy being touched on the nose and on the back`... See! that is just dumb! It`s like saying that if you sleep on your right side you are more intelligant than people who sleep on thier left side. Silly see; but all in all, I enjoyed it.
