Uma fofura de quadrinho! Ótima para alternar entre leituras. Nada grandioso, mas o traço combinou muito e é leve de se ver e ler, me deu ainda mais vontade de adotar um gatinho um dia! Até fui ver mais da Frankie real depois! ❤

Frankie, an expressive blue-eyed Siamese kitten, is found sleeping by the doorway of real-life couple Rachel and Mike. Instantly smitten, they bring Frankie into their home. Originally a webcomic published in 2012, author and illustrator Rachel Dukes documents life with Mike and Frankie through short, laugh out loud funny comics in full color that are just plain delightful. Featuring snack stealing, games of fetch (sort of), and lots of snuggles, this charming slice of life graphic novel will thrill anyone who has ever loved a cat.

This comic was an absolute delight to read!

As a new cat owner myself, the things that happen in the comic strips were ENTIRELY relatable, and I had a good laugh whilst reading it! I really enjoyed the artist's art-style, and I thought the cat puns were honestly hilarious!
The artist's relationship with her cat, Frankie, was absolutely adorable to see, and it made me want to pick up my own cats for a cuddle! (much to their dismay)
I'm looking forward to seeing more comics featuring Frankie in the future!

Would highly recommend to other cat owners as a short and fun read!

Rating: 4/5 stars

ARC provided by Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

I think any cat lover/owner will love this book. Although I don't have a cat myself I found a lot of it to be very relatable based on stories I've heard from cat owners. The art was cute and full of life, and each comic strip was packed with cute, relatable, and punny jokes. It's a fast paced read and overall enjoyable but nothing outstanding.

This is a very accurate portrayal of what it is like living with a cute kitty cat! I also loved all the subtleties in the artwork like tummy pouch, hair on legs, and hair in the armpits. That's life!

Thank you Netgalley for an e-arc of this book in exchange for a honest review. Loved it!

I loved this so much!

First of all the art style is adorable. The images are clear and the colours are well chosen so the images are well to look at and no confusion is caused.
The story line is very relatable to any pet owner. Getting a new pet with all the excitement around it. Getting it a bed, the food, having to bathe it, And many more scenarios. I loved that this comic wasn't written in one long plotline but rather short scenarios but together still making a story, I thought it was very clever.

I loved Frankie and 10/10 I would get a cat like him (If I could choose a cats personality). I think many people who have or have owned a cat will probably get to relate to a lot of the scenarios in this book and I think that's cute.

I loved it and I would definitely read more volumes if there were more :D

This is cute. Very cute, and very cat like. Not a surprise, just an observation. All the cat shredding, all the cat barfing, all the cat peeing that cats do, all included. Lovers of cats will love this book. People who don't love cats will probably not get it.

Do I recommend it? Sure, as a cat lover. Most others would find it a bit repetitive. Cats, like kids, are only cute to their owners.


Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review

This is just completely adorable, it’s about a cat and her two owners/humans, I mean it’s about a cat so I was drawn straight away as most the internet will be too. It’s just so cute but also funny, it’s broken down in sections but I read it in one go because it’s so fun. A great book to pick you up and make you happy

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

Thank you to NetGalley for the advanced copy which I received in return for an honest review.
To no one's surprise, this was absolutely adorable! I follow Frankie (and her humans) on Instagram and was ecstatic to find out that I can see even more of her. I can't wait for another book, but until then I'll subsist on rereading.
