"Joy to the world, 'cause cats are here." And are they ever, in this one-of-a-kind collection of your favorite Christmas carols written from a cat's point of view. Forget peace on earth, forget good will toward men, and discover what Christmas really means: wrecked halls, clawed couches, and visions of muzzles for the neighbors' dogs. Each set of lyrics is accompanied by a playful, exuberant illustration, and all are precisely synchronized with the tunes of their conventional counterparts. So sing along, and get a new perspective on the holiday -- and the cat -- you thought you knew.
"Catmus Carols" is well-written, funny and very cute. The author captures the essence of cathood in her verses which should be sung to the tunes of favorite Christmas carols. Accompanying myself on the piano, I sat down and entertained my three cats with a musical hour, singing to them about "The First Meow." They stared at me as though they thought I was being very silly. (But I think they secretly enjoyed it.) The book would make a great stocking gift for catlovers.

This collection of familiar Christmas carols reworked to a feline perspective is priceless. Laurie Loughlin writes with a deft touch and a wry understanding of the feline nature, as only a cat-lover can. The illustrations are hilarious and sweet. I think my favorite is: "Oh Come All Ye Furful" -- it's not only very funny but perfectly captures cat-ness in lyrics such as: Oh come all ye furful Hungry and well-rested Oh come ye, oh come ye To the master bedroom and Meow, choirs of felines Meow in expectation Meow 'til you get your mom And dad out of bed
Fun and funny feline versions of Christmas carols.

New lyrics (about or by cats) are given for 20 common Christmas carols. They are funny and all VERY feline. I love it. Old familiar Christmas tunes will never be the same.
