Will the Cat Eat My Eyeballs?

A vivid death manual that allows children to no longer imagine what death is with fear, but to understand corpses and life. The author uses female delicacy and humor to easily talk about death. It is worth recommending!

This book is interesting and educational. I particularly like the author's humorous language style, which makes the heavy topic of death easy to understand. For example, "Your cat isn't going to eat your eyeballs—at least not right away" makes me laugh. The characters in the book are also very interesting, and the author uses her knowledge and experience to answer children's strange questions about death. I think this book is not only suitable for children, but also for us parents. It can help us better understand death and eliminate the fear of death.

It's a very good book. It's a popular science story and it's also humorous. Although some of the content will make people get goosebumps, the author's twists and turns will make this feeling go away and you won't have to have nightmares.

Reminds me of my grandma. An eighty-year-old little old lady who lived quietly all her life refused to come to my dreams even after she died.

It is more interesting and physical, and is more suitable for children around 12 years old to read. When I read, I always feel like I'm being coaxed, and I feel like I'm wearing the wrong clothes. Some simple science about death and remains. Guide children to establish correct concepts of death and farewell. Regarding the brief mention of funeral customs in various countries, the author has a neutral and respectful attitude in it, which is good. In addition, the article mentions that cats buried in ancient Egypt were mummified after natural death. Not so. After X-ray shooting of some cat mummies, obvious neck fractures were found, which should be caused by humans. So please don't sugarcoat this too much.

I like Zhuangzi's view that death is as natural as the ripening of a melon: people are always going to die. So I like this book very much: You are going to die anyway, so it is better to die in a clear way and make proper arrangements before your death.

Being curious about death is a normal psychological need; Adolescents tend to be more perceptive about death than adults; Knowledge is the core way to break through the blind spots and prejudices in death cognition; Only by understanding death can we eliminate fear and better understand life. [Three core questions] 1. How can we eliminate the fear of death and face the end of life? : The strange pigeon who swims in winter once said that the key to eliminating fear is to face it; Use scientific knowledge to understand the true process of death and face death as a natural part of life; By understanding the changes in the human body after death, we can understand that death is an inevitable natural law. 2. What is the outlook on life hidden behind the ways of dealing with death in different cultures? : Each method of death treatment (such as sky burial, cremation, burial, etc.) Carries the local culture's understanding of life and soul, and is a unique respect for the deceased. In Tibetan sky burials, the remains of the deceased are sacrificed to vultures, which local culture believes is a way for the soul to ascend to heaven; Tree burials in some areas hope that the deceased will be integrated with nature, embodying the life cycle concept of ashes returning to dust and earth returning to earth. 3. How can understanding death change our attitude towards life? : Only by truly understanding death can we understand the limitations of life and cherish the present moment more. Take the initiative to get together with relatives and friends whom you have not contacted for a long time, no longer waste time complaining about trivial matters, avoid falling into meaningless internal friction, but experience every day life with your heart. Summary All people are mortal. Death is also a part of biological instinct. There is nothing sacred or evil, it is just a natural part. Life has a beginning and an end. Only by accepting the end calmly can we live the process more seriously.

It is an interesting and informative little popular science book. After reading it, I seem to have read some philosophy and psychology: Death is a natural thing. The situation, place and process of death are actually not as weird as imagined. There is a lot of knowledge about corpses, and even if they are well maintained during life, they can extend their lives...

This book is humorous and answers a lot of funeral parlor knowledge that you don't know in daily life, as well as all kinds of innocent and childish questions. The most interesting thing is that it can help you unravel the grand proposition of death.

An interesting popular science book that can be read as a storybook and is not boring at all. Not too long, not too short, just right. Comes with fun skull illustrations. Please don't worry, it's cute and not scary at all. Face death, understand it, accept it, and embrace life better [Love]

Although the content of this book is about death - a cold, dark, scary word, a fact that people avoid, the author's sense of humor and pragmatic attitude enable readers to face it calmly, and sometimes they can't help but laugh.

It's super interesting. Will the grimace remain after death? I have never thought about whether eating corn before death and being cremated will turn into popcorn. There are also many interesting questions that gave me a deeper understanding of death. I highly recommend reading it.

A very interesting book, the writing is lively and interesting, although sometimes I get a little frustrated because of my rich imagination and her vivid descriptions🤢 But death is a part of nature, and this book really answered some of my doubts very well (because I miss my puppy that died last year, and my mother buried it under an osmanthus tree next to a greenway...

When I saw such a death manual, I understood what the final outcome would look like. Is there anything more real than death in this world?

It's a collection of interview stories. Well, it doesn't feel like it involves too many profound, philosophical, or serious discussions. The illustrations are quite interesting.

2026.8.11 Since reading this book, my confusion about funerals has gradually been solved I also have my own understanding of death. It is no longer a terrible and predetermined fate, but more like an inevitable silence after the passionate bloom of life. He didn't need to be my source of energy to "live toward death," but he successfully taught me to face loneliness.
