Book Review (and Late night rant): My Pet Human by Yasmine Surovec

Book Review: My Pet Human by Yasmine Surovec


Quote: It took me a while to master "the look," but it's essential to getting what I want from humans. And let's just say, I always get what I want. I mean, who can resist this face? I'm adorable!





Meet Mr. Independent nameless cat, who knows it all! He knows how to avoid animal control, how to get scraps from cooks at restaurants, climb tries and avoid human toddlers. And oh he loves boxes. The blurb of the book is what made me part with my money. A cat seeking a human pet: who must feed him a lot of treats, give back rubs, supplies boxes, plays with him and loves him Infinitely. Soon this independent cat befriends two humans who have just moved into the empty house at the end of the line. Curiosity get hold of him, he ends up becoming the little human's only friend and her mother soon warms up to him. They give him baths, feed him tuna and cuddles, and he in return claws meows in the night and shoves and rubs face in the big human's sleeping face. The art is so cute, Ben, Farrah, George, Liam, everyone is adorable to look at. The dialogues are funny and I loved how light it was to read. None of the mushy and sob stories in-between. The expression on the cat was so well pulled out. Especially when he gets caught by pet control! That chubby face with few strokes turned so sad and lonely. For someone who regrets not looking after a cat I was fostering and abandoning it, I definitely go through bouts of guilt of that deed and I also desperately crave a cat, a cat of mine own, only mine. But I have been resisting this selfish desire for a few years now. I walk the roads and look out for kittens, I pet them and let them be. I don't dare to pick one up. I look at my online friends, I happen to have found multiple cat moms and cat dads over the years as my dear peers and kindred spirits. They share photographs of their kittens and cats with me. They upload videos and I go awwww. I share photographs of street cats and feed them. But I am struggling as an adult so I must not bring a cat to my life. I am even a cat godmother! I even ask my dear ones to keep reminding me that I should not bring another life to my life, and not look after it properly. So I have resorted to buying books on cats. Books about cats. Books by cats (narrative persona). This is the fifth cat book I bought, I think I might make a special entry in my blog for cat books. If I can't have a cat I will just raise a virtual cat on my iPad. Oh yes, we can be virtual cat moms too! And read more cat books and hope to become mature enough to raise a furry killer.

Momas'Day

As the month of May creepily entered my calendar,, I realized something was special... Well the Mothers Day entered my to-do-list...  I thought I was the only dearest daughter in the world who cared for her mother... But again my illusion was broken, by good major mates... Both of my major mates were also anxious about this one day...  First we got confused when the actual day was, some one said 1st may, other  8th may... But after all whats my dear Google for?? We found the date It was 13th May,, the second Sunday of may... So sitting in our Philosophy Exam hall, we three started discussing what to gift our dearest mothers,,, but to our surprise it was not only we three but many others who wanted to gift their mom,,. Hence the discussion broke out, one mate said she had already gifted her mother a Saree worth three thousand bucks... Now we all got dumbstruck by the selfless act and realized how shameless we were only gifting o...

A duckish tale.

{(Well I lied, I am back, my first major paper was pathetic, second paper I survived. Technically my exam gets over on 14th june. My post exam slumber has begun before my exams are over. My Net problems still prevail,  exams went down the water, so sad me read fanfictions in my cellphone. This resulted in me penning my own. So I am going to put up two fanfictions. One is Princess Tutu another Junjou Romantica. Its not good, but lets say, if you like it, I will create a page called Witchiction. This particular story is written for my soul sister, its her  belated birthday gift from me. Dear Soul-Sister, we had decided in seventh grade to give Fakir and Ahiru their happy ending, so here is my little attempt to give them Happy Ending.)  Disclaimer- I dont, will never ever own Princess Tutu, it belongs to Ikuko Itoh. /this Anime means a lot to us specially my Soul sister and me,} BACKGROUND OF STORY ( In the Anime , Ahiru was a character created to help Mytho ...

Webcomic Review: Fools by Yeongha and Bagdam

Webcomic Review: Fools by Yeongha and Bagdam Quote: If this were a relationship between a male and a female, wouldn't it be safe to assume that we were 100% attracted to each other? But because I'm a male and just an underclassman, Eungi Hyung would never consider anything like that, would he? Fools is a Korean Webtoon written by Yeongha and adorably illustrated by Bagdam.

Enugi comes off as a standoffish young man while Jeongwoo the pretty boy is always smiling and super friendly.  After hearing Jeongwoo cry on his phone to his boyfriend during the welcoming party, Enugi can't stop but worry about him from then on. By the twist of fate they end up having breakfast tog...
