MOMENT IN PURRSPECTIVE: Knowing that my human will never understand how long her 40-hour work weeks are in cat years and what it’s doing to our relationship.

PEPPER SAYS: If I could impart one piece of advice to all young kitties beginning their careers as housecats, it’s that you should work smarter and not harder. I remember when I was a young kitten, barely old enough to grow a hairball. No matter how many times I’d shred the toilet paper into a lifeless pile of two-ply fluff, the next morning I’d wake up and the roll wouldn’t even have so much as a scratch. It’s like someone cleaned up all my work and put a fresh roll out while I was asleep. All of my diligence and hard work was wasted!

It made me begin to question why I was working so hard to destroy toilet paper. It wasn’t making any lasting changes. The world wasn’t becoming a fluffier place. Now, I stick to projects that make a difference, like chewing on my human’s bikini straps. When those unexpectedly unravel at the beach, it’s a memory that lasts a lifetime.

Getting your life in order takes nothing more than a few simple steps.

Reviews for Stink Outside the Box

[pivic-1 · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

I'm definitely partial: one of my photographs is included in this book.

Having said this, it's imperative to know that this isn't my cup of tea, really. The humor is not funny. It's just targeting an open goal, and I don't think a lot of the pictures are interesting, either.

Having said that, I dish out 2/5 to this book, simply because I think it'll appeal to people. Not to me, but still. I've promised the person who wrote the text in this book that I'd review it, so here it is.
