Given to my by my brother a year ago, and I haven't read it. I have so many other things on Mt TBR, it is time to move this one on. I have no idea who Larry and Elaine are. :)

Using a miketroll bookplate in memory of my friend who died recently. He liked photos of fluffy kittens.

Given to a friend.

Received this from ScottishHoosier when she came to visit me today. Look forward to reading it.

Sooooo many more stories in this book than I was expecting. Some stories were a good length, some went on far too long and I just couldn't remember anything about the story once I'd finished it and others were just too short and I wanted more.

As a crazy cat lady, I'm much more likely to be drawn to stories with people who are kind to cats but either way, cats have the last laugh in the end.

My favourites were (in the order I read them):

* "Midshipman, the Cat" by John Coleman Adams
* "When in Doubt - Wash!" by Paul Gallico
* "Jennie's Lessons to Peter on How to Behave Like a Cat" by Paul Gallico
* "The Cyprian Cat" by Dorothy L. Sayers
* "Out of Place" by Pamela Sargent
* "The Cat Who Lived in a Drainpipe" by Joan Aiken

Bookworm-lady picked this out of my RABCK Boom 2022 list.

On its way to Bookworm-lady.

Here it is, and what a lovely hardback!
Thank you sooo much, it was a pleasure opening your parcel yesterday, with this book and the Hayley Mills' biography.
I wonder what happened to Elaine and Larry; as appears in the first page, this was her Christmas present to him "with love". A book with history, undoubtedly.
Looking forward to reading it; I am very fond of short stories... and cats! :)
