Why should I read this book?

Honestly, I have never been much of a cat person. I had a dog growing up, my daughters had a couple of rabbits, and my wife has a turtle as a classroom pet. So I am quite certain that I am not the target audience of this book. Having said that, I found it to be fascinating. There are diagrams showing how cats extend and retract their claws, explanations of how they track their prey, stories about how people who think they have seen a black panther are likely mistaken, and an endless array of different adaptations that help varieties of cats survive in almost any environment. Sometimes the narrator, Bean the famous internet cat, is a little annoying, but mostly she is funny and the book is a lot of fun.
