ALL Cats, SOME Cats, NO Cats is a purr-fectly charming celebration of feline personality that will warm the hearts of cat lovers and curious readers alike. With vibrant illustrations and playful prose, author Daka Smythe captures both how house cats are alike and delightfully different, and how we humans can create happier homes by understanding those quirks.

We love how this book strikes the right balance between fun and purpose—whether it’s introducing the difference between a kitty who loves lap naps vs. one who prefers the high shelf, or offering thoughtful tips on kindness and coexistence. Even better: a portion of the profits supports programs for feral cats, adding real-world meaning to its joy. If you love cats, or know someone who does, this book is a lovely gift, a visual delight, and a reminder that kindness matters—for all creatures great and small.

OMG! I Love Cats! Cats! Cats! is an absolute delight for early readers — vibrant, playful, and bursting with feline charm.

We love how this book makes reading fun, visual, and accessible — especially for children who feel “bored and under the weather,” and who will be delighted when two playful kids rediscover their love for cats. The artwork, the simple narrative, and the joyful tone combine to make it a perfect read-aloud for classrooms, families, and anyone looking to spark curiosity in early literacy.

Whether you’re gifted it to a young cat-lover or introducing a new reader to the joy of books, OMG! I Love Cats! Cats! Cats! wins our “Book of the Day” badge for being whimsical, warm-hearted, and beautifully designed.
