Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul: Stories of Feline Affection, Mystery and Charm Book

Hello everyone! I decided to help out and write this review for my mom. I'm Jupiter. I'm 10 years old. I am a very handsome orange tabby.

I suggest this book to every cat who has a slightly emotional mother. It will guarantee lots of petting. My mom always likes to pet me when she is sad, mad, upset, etc. She would read a story or two out of this book and then totally burst into tears, usually cuz some cat died. I feel bad for the cat who died, but it was the most glorious thing to hear my mom calling, "Jupiter! Ju-ey! I need you!! (sob sob)" I would dutifully run to her and let her pet me for as long as she needed to. Yep, that was rough.
So, I thought that I would write an inspirational story about myself. Perhaps they will want to publish this in the next edition.

My Triumphant Climb, by Jupiter Snow

My mom was feeling bummed and tired this morning. My brother, Rocco, was just sleeping in the bathroom, using a roll of toilet paper as a pillow. He was not helping her out at all. So I knew I needed to step up and make her smile.

I have struggled with my weight for many years. My vet says that I am a 12 pound cat in a 20 pound body. It's hard for me to get around sometimes. I can't jump up on things like other cats can. So, when I try to do that stuff it always looks funny. But for my mom, I was willing to look like a dork. I decided that instead of getting to the bed on top of my scratching post the normal way (a short jump from the floor), I would jump from the kitchen table.

I can easily get on top of the table if the chairs are not all pushed in. Today someone had been sneaky and tucked the chairs all the way under the table, which I didn't actually notice until I jumped on the chair and bumped my head. So I had to squeeze my belly through a pretty narrow spot and then use my arms to pull myself up onto the table. I heard her start to giggle. It is really hard to get on the table when you are squished against a chair. I might have grunted a little bit, which made her laugh some more.

I finally dragged myself all the way up. I swear I could hear 'Eye of the Tiger' (my favorite song) playing in the background! It was so awesome! I was on top of the world! And my mom laughed! Then I made the several foot jump to my scratching post bed. I stuck the landing and settled in for my day-long nap. My mom laughed her pants off! And…she petted me! See…this is indeed the greatest book ever!
