Review: Chocolate Will Make Cats Sick or Possibly Even Kill Them and Kids Reading This Might Feed it to Them

This is a basically a ten page or so blog of one liners by the author on her daily life. She has added various photographs of her own cats in poses to emulate her feelings on things such as fear of becoming homeless with a cat inside a cardboard box.  However one of these blogs is "Luckily, there are also days when everything falls into place and life is good. On those days the chocolate flows freely." Now as an adult we understand what the author is doing and that there is a separation between the human thoughts to the reality of a cat in real life.  However a child may read that and think their cat or a neighbour's cat is going to have a really happy day if I feed it some of my chocolate, which will of course make the cat very sick.  Chocolate causes things such as diarrhoea, vomiting, seizures, heart attacks or even ultimately death in cats.  Being that the author uses photographs instead of drawings of cats I think adds to child readers' thinking, that's an instruction for cat happiness.  It needed at least another line like, of course I'm a cat so I wouldn't touch the stuff as it's poison to me, or something like that.Even without the chocolate stuff, this isn't in the same league as some of the author's other work such as Ode to Icky.
