A short, humorous and endearing read written from the point of view of Louie, a gorgeous ginger tabby, reflecting on his life and experiences, with appearances from a few of his feline friends.

What can I say about a cute and funny book about cats? I honestly cannot complain. I love cats, and this book has pictures and cat wisdom told from a variety of perspectives. I would say more about this book, but there is nothing more I can say!
I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. I was not financially compensated, and all opinions are 100 percent mine.

This story introduces you to Awesome Louie, a charming rescue cat. He is witty, adorable and - he provides some insights in a cat's mind. I cannot tell you more about the story as it would spoil the fun of reading it yourself.
With A Cat Taught Me That, Charlotte Gerber presents us with a humorous titbits from a tomcat's point of view as well as some anecdotes from Charlotte. This little book is funny, has a pleasant flow, comprises Louie's mewsings as well as some photos and drawings. Charlotte Gerber and Awesome Louie excellently combined humour and facts on feline behaviour. I had a great time reading A Cat Taught Me that. It is a fast and entertaining read. Moreover, you support a good cause by buying this 'pawsome' little gem.
Highly recommended!

Absolutely adorable!
Some pages are almost like travelogue entries with from the cat's portrait, others like a diary from the cat's POV.
The author is clearly from a long line of feline fancying people! Includes several charming (giggle-inducing) illustrations by author's daughter.
A delightful item either for a child or adult, certainly be a great gift for a cat lover.
--disclosure: I entered and won a Goodreads drawing for a autographed copy of this book.

I'm a cat lover. I loved reading this book. There are many things you can learn from cats. Things that will make our life easier and more enjoyable. This book opened those ideas up to me in an entertaining way.
