The internet’s favorite googly-eyed feline—@purr.in.ink—wrote a book to send you a little bit of love and a whole lot of joy.
As every cat-lover knows, purring is the way a cat shows affection and happiness, and The Book of Purrs is just that! From cover to cover, Portuguese illustrator Luis Coelho’s delightful collection of comics—an extension of his popular Instagram @purr.in.ink—is filled with affirmations and encouraging reminders to find joy in making mistakes, chasing lost dreams, and refilling empty food bowls…they are still cats, after all.
The Book of Purrs: Everyday Thoughts from Your Feline Friends is the purr-fect gift for the cat lover in your life, and anyone in need of a daily dose of paws-itivity!

Hi and welcome to my review of The Book of Purrs!

I follow @purr.in.ink on Instagram, his comics never fail to make me smile, so when I discovered there was a whole book of them (thanks Yvonne 😉), of course I had to check it out!

The Book of Purrs is an extension of the online comics, there are some you might recognise but there are brand-new comics included as well. For those who aren’t familiar with the artist: the drawings are rather simple but all the more effective for it. The cats are black, the backgrounds most often beautifully colourful in a style reminiscent of water colour paintings and pointillism. Some made me smile, some made me laugh out loud, some made me think (you know, I think I would really benefit from talking to myself like I do to cats), and one (about having to say goodbye to your beloved feline) even made me cry.

I think this is the perfect book for any cat lover! I read it cover to cover, but I think it might work best as a coffee table book or even a bedside table book, letting you charge up on positivity and a touch of feline energy before bed. I would definitely recommend it to cat loving readers or as a gift to the cat lover in your life.

The Book of Purrs is out on 22 (eBook) and 24 (hardcover) October.
