Learn to Speak Cat: The Purrfect Guide by Anthony Smith is a little gem of a book which cat lovers of all ages will enjoy. Anthony’s own unique style of illustration graces each page with a simple title or comment – much like the cartoons published daily in The Metro.
The blurb on the back covers asks: ‘Are you having trouble communicating with your feline friend? This is the book for you. Gain the confidence to chat to your kitty on a variety of subjects, and discover the wacky world of cat language.
Start learning cat today through Anthony’s hilarious and, at times, surreal cartoons.’
Examples: MEOWFIA – Organised cat crime
WHISPURR – Cat secrets
TOURHISSTS – Stray cats
Anthony illustrated the banners for The Mewsletter and The Scratching Post and that will give you an idea of the way his mind views cats – the more quirky the better! I particularly loved ‘Catney Rhyming Slang’ – “Dog and stick … thick” and the Beauty Parlour where a cat is being shown his whisker extensions in a mirror, although, to be absolutely honest, I loved ALL the cartoons. Anthony has a real gift for imagining cats in their own natural settings and giving them a voice.
Learn to Speak Cat would make an ideal Christmas stocking filler and at only £4.99 it’s a steal and won’t break the bank!

Lead me down all the right paths,
Keep me from fleas, bees, and baths.
Let me in should it storm,
Keep me safe, fed, and warm.
