Received via Netgalley in exchange for a fair review.
I expected humor. Because....why wouldn't you?
But this just isn't funny. I'm giving the book two stars because the cat pictures are fantastic (Can we talk about Planned Purrenthood?). But this just wasn't handled well.
I adore satire, and am deeply disappointed that this didn't hold up.

'How to Talk to Your Cat About Gun Safety' by Zachary Auburn is a parody title. It skewers certain right wing ways of thinking about a variety of subjects.
The book is a series of pamphlets from the fictional American Association of Patriots. There are talks about gun safety, evolutions, abstinence, online safety, drugs, puberty, postapocalyptic survival, and, of course, satanism. Each issues dire warnings, and a seemingly endless use of cat puns for your amewsment (sorry, I couldn't resist). There are also photoshopped pictures of cats holding guns or participating in satanic rituals.
Of course, cats don't use guns, but that makes them perfect substitutes for children, I suppose. The main problem with the book is that the material runs a little thin after a while, and the parodies just aren't all that funny. It might have been best as just the first pamphlet alone, but that would have made for a very short book.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Crown Publishing, Three Rivers Press, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

One of the most delightful parodies I have read in awhile.
I got this book as a gag gift for Christmas and just finally decided to read it for a BINGO board I'm doing with my book group. It gave me a few chuckles but it was too political/conservative for my tastes.

Funny little tongue in cheek book making fun of our current right wing extremists. The premise being that you need to talk to your cat about gun safety, satanism, on-line safety, puberty, homosexualty and an array of other topics that are being "forced" on our cats by the liberals of the world. The group that publishes this "information" is the "American Association of Patriots". Of course it's all satire against the far right...and it is hilarious! What amazes me it was published in 2016, before things with the right went truly sideways, and it is in it's 23rd printing! Great little book if you're looking for a laugh.
