Lovely book - will release in the wild for kindly stranger to pick up and take home.

Picked up at the Notts bookcrossers meet up today.I love cats so this should be right up my street!

What a fabulous tale,i loved it.I look at my cats differantly since reading this!Highly recommended to any cat lover!

Picked this up today at the BC meet at Costa Coffee in Nottingham.
Couldn't resist it, especially as my mum's looking after two stray tabby cats at the moment!

To be given to scoobydooo on Monday 19th December.
Wishing you a very happy Christmas, I hope that you enjoy reading this!

This looks good, thank you.

This is a really nice story. A bit sad in places but happy as well. My nana wants to read it so I am passing it on to her.

An excellent story, cleverly told. I loved reading all about Pufftail's adventures, some sad, some happy.
I think I will save this to pass on to a cat loving friend.

On its way to a friend

What a lovely surprise! Thank you! I'm sure I'm going to love this. I've heard of A N Wilson but not read any of his books before and didn't know he had written anything for younger readers. (Of which I am one, of course!)

I have mixed feelings about this one. It's quite an endearing story by someone who obviously not only had a great affection for cats but knew them well. All cat owners will recognize many of the thoughts and actions of Pufftail and all cat lovers will feel deeply ashamed of how some humans treat animals and will be saddened by some parts of Pufftail's story.

On the negative side, I found the style of writing really irritating. Phrases such as "that well they sit on for getting rid of their business" and "small paper chimneys" are quite amusing at first but get decidedly wearing after a while. And why is a cat portrayed as not knowing the words "lavatory" or "cigarettes" or even "hair" ("scraps of fur at the tope of their heads" for heaven's sake!) but is quite familiar with "wardrobe", "water butt" and "budgie"?

Loath to risk this to the vagaries of Wild Release when it has happily visited several BookCrossers already, so I am sending it on as a Surprise RABCK to someone who has been wishing for it.

Wasn't expecting this book in the post as am waiting for a ray to show. Thanks for sending

Fantastic story I loved it, now time for this book to move on

Have pulled this from the shelf to pass to a friend who is homeschooling her kids. If it doesn't work for the curriculum, it will be passed on or wild released.
