Description

That irrepressible team whose previous collaborations poked fun at bureaucracies (Cover Your Ass!) and expounded on the horrors and humour of fatherhood (Daddy Dearest and Sorry Daddy) hove now turned their considerable talents on the droll and wacky world of pet ownership.

Although written in a typically light-hearted, tongue-in-cheek fashion, this informative book gives excellent advice on topics such as choosing a pet, the joy of housebreaking, feeding, veterinary visits and even fleas (and how to get rid of them).

Although the book stars those all-time favourites (cats and dogs) in includes chapters on both exotic and surrogate pets. Reigning Cats & Dogs offers a selection of pet recipes and a brief overview of pet contributions in the areas of language, television, movies and literature.

Ross and Shaw, described as "very perceptive and wildly funny" and "so funny they made me laugh out lout", have produced the indispensable guide for pet livers who own, have ever owned or are thinking of owning a pet.

A must for all animal lovers!
