Goodreads Synopsis:
Rascal is a cat. My cat. I didn't ask for him, he just sort of... happened to me. But that's just how it works sometimes, isn't it?
When a mysterious mewling package arrives in the mail, one busy young woman's life changes forever. Rascal lives up to his name, filling every day with wild adventures and long naps: brave expeditions into closets, fierce battles with curtains, and wrestling with slumbering giants... Sometimes she's tempted to throw him out the window. He's lucky he's cute.
Over 128 pages, Jean-Luc Deglin paints a purring portrait of one unforgettable black cat, an elegant inky swirl in a world of striking blue tones. Hilarious and heartwarming, exasperating and enchanting, Rascal captures the full range of emotions that come with keeping God's cutest killing machine as a pet.
If you love cats, or dream of having one, this book is dedicated to you. Once you bring Rascal into your life, you'll wonder how you ever lived without him.
Review:
As a cat owner, I loved this book. I think any pet owner would love it but it will really resonate with cat owners.
Rascal is a graphic novel about a young woman who is left with a kitten by interesting circumstances. The kitten, as kittens do, gets into everything, doesn't want to cooperate, and is a bit of a terror. Cat lovers will fell the love/hate emotion this owner feels as they follow the story of their relationship.
The panels of this graphic novel are simplistic but so funny. The emotion, mostly frustration for the first half of the book, is so obvious through the images. It is really well done. I found myself laughing and commiserating with the main character the entire time... as my cat was trying to sit on my keyboard while I was reading on my computer.
Although hilarious, I really hope it is not based on real like because her mother leaves her the cat in a box, in the mailbox for about a week! (You read that correctly! IN A BOX).
Overall this is an adorable, quick read that any cat lover will enjoy.
