Has anyone ever read this book? It's adorable! It's like a picture book about aspergers, with funny pictures of cats! I picked it up at Barnes and Noble the other day, and it really made me happy. I showed it to my little brother too, who always says he doesn't really understand aspergers, and he liked it as well.

Never seen the book, but I'm easily amused at any cat's antics. Their randomness is hilarious. You can easily tell what a dog is going to do, but not cats ! !!

Cats are cute, but I don't think I could look after one properly so I will save one from me :)

It's absolutely the best book for explaining the condition - and you can read it in 30 minutes or less.

I have to agree, my mom found this book a while back and I thought it was cute.

I really do think all cats have Asperger's. There's one a couple houses down from me who behaves as though she has developmental disabilities of some kind. Needless to say, she and I get along quite well. :)

i still havent got around to reading that book haha, both my cats show autistic traits. my one cat has problems meowing, when she was a kitten she couldnt meow i didnt understand why but she just couldnt meow lol, as she became an adult her meows were so strange she would go "me me me me ow, me ow ow, me me ow" lol. She also rather be in a room all day sleeping, and only comes to me when she wants something, still loves to play, has many problems eating, hates people and doesnt have a care in the world for people, is the queen of the house, nobody messes with her, she doesnt take crap from anybody lol, she would in my eyes be defintely an autie. My other cat is social, when ppl comes over she stares them down, she actually will run up to strangers and stare at them weirdly like who the heck are you, she has no balance whatsoever, she just cant balance lol, has no fear, not afraid of anything and i mean anything, loves to run in circles, or runs into the couch head first then does back flips, eats anything even carrots, ketchup, potatoe chips, i mean anything lol, very vocal sometimes too vocal, has seperation anxiety, does a lot of weird things like opening and closing her paw over and over and over again, stares at fans endlessly, has some weird aggression problem and usually attacks the dogs if theres too much excitement or anxiety in the house lol, very mischievious, the other day she carried a toilet paper holder all the way from the bathroom to me in the living room, and shes only 8lbs lol, why? idk i think for attention lol. Shes very weird, everybody who meets her thinks she has some form of brain damage, because she is not like any other cat at all, but in my eyes shes my little aspie. I defintely though think all cats are on the spectrum somewhere...
