| Brulee wondering if any of her stories are in this book |
We received a book from the series: Chicken Soup for the Soul® from Chewy.com to review. Chewy.com carries 12 books in this series that tell humorous and touching stories about the dogs and cats in our lives. We received the "I Can't Believe My Cat Did That!" to read and review.

| Brulee looks on in disbelief at the antics some of these crazy felines did |
This particular book is filled with 101 short stories about the crazy antics of felines. Mom Paula loves these type of books because she can read a few short stories before going to bed and finish the story before falling asleep. There are humorous stories as well as amazing stories of heroic stories of cats. Some will bring tears to your eyes (both sadness and laughter), but all are enjoyable. One of Mom Paula's favorite stories was about Chuck, in the story, "Unforgiven." Chuck was a rescue cat who had been returned to the shelter several times until a couple adopted him and saved his life. The couple decided to go on vacation for the first time after making sure Chuck was okay. They said every where they went, they saw something that reminded them of Chuck. Upon returning with a gift in hand for Chuck, he basically ignored them and showed them what he thought of their gift.

There are cartoons throughout the book and each short story begins with a motivational quote. I look forward to reading other books in the series.
You can purchase this book, along with others in the series at Chewy.com expensively ($8.00 up). Ideally, I'd purchase it when you purchase other supplies, such as cat litter, food, etc., in order to receive the free 2-day shipping if the order totals $49+.

ReplyDeleteThat looks like a pawesome book!
ReplyDeleteWe've heard some of those are pretty darn good!
ReplyDeleteWe didn't know Chewy carried these books!
ReplyDeleteTHe cat did what? This looks amusing. Thanks
ReplyDeleteI would totally want to win "I Can't Believe My Cat Did That!" for my human - she needs something fun to read right now.
ReplyDeletei would love my very good very bad cat! we have 5 kitties. Amy (Guillaume) Linderman
ReplyDeleteI remember seeing the call for submissions for some of these. What a great way to stay positive and go to sleep with a smile on our faces :) Since The Boy moved in, I've given up reading. I miss it. I'd probably choose the "My very good, very bad cat." That's Bear Cat to a tee!
ReplyDeletePaula, you should write a book! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThank you. I'm thinking about it!
DeleteThese sound like wonderful reads! I'm thinking we'd start with either I Can't Believe My Cat Did That!, or The Cat Did What?
ReplyDelete"The Dog Did What?" because it sounds like there would be some fun stories in there :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome giveaway! I've always loved any chicken soup book and found them always highly interesting and a great read!
ReplyDeleteWe got to check out on of the CSFTS books from Chewy too and love it!!!
ReplyDeleteOops - hit "publish" too soon. We loved the title we got, and know all pet parents and lovers will love them too!
ReplyDeleteOur mom loves Chicken Soup for the Soul books, and this one looks fab! These books are always so uplifting.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! I can only imagine the crazy stories in these books!
ReplyDeleteI love the Chicken Soup series of books, and being owned by two cats, this looks like one a book I would enjoy curling up and reading
ReplyDeleteIt's so refreshing to read positive stories about cats and other pets instead of sad tales of neglect. Reading a few just before bed is a great way to fall asleep with a smile on your face.
ReplyDeleteI love books like this. They make you remember there is a lot of fun and good in the world.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun giveaway! I'm happy to learn that there are so many Chicken Soup books for pet lovers! "What I Learned From My Dog" looks like a great read! Thank you for hosting!
ReplyDeleteI love chicken soup!! They definitely have the best stories, how fun! - Shelby G.
ReplyDeleteI'd probably like "Loving Our Dogs" the best. I like short story collections because it is easy to read a little bit and then do something else. Sometimes I get so engrossed with a novel, that I can't put it down.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun giveaway. I love books. Hmm I like " What I learned from the Cat". So sweet you read to your girls at night. :)
ReplyDeleteThe Chicken Soup books are such a staple of goodness. And I completely agree about how beneficial short reads are. Sometimes I read shorter pieces after reading a book that I know will stay with me for a while. I use those short stories as a mental palette cleanse.
