Daddy, we got you this book to read on the plane to America for Uncle Tom's wedding. Hopefully it will make you laugh and think of us while we are enjoying our luxurious suite in the cattery.

Even though my kittens Lilly and Rabbit got this book for my husband, he never did get around to reading it, so I read it and am now going to send it overseas to peace-filled. It was a cute book.

I can`t believe I forgot to journal this book when it arrived last year!! Good grief!! I am sooooo sorry!!!
Anyways, I have picked it up to read it over my Christmas break and I have enjoyed it. Some funny bits and some touching bits. My only pet peeve is, that as a cat owner of 6 cats myself (Ambrose, Maggie, Gazoo, Mina, Sheldon, and Horatio), I don't subscibe to the mythology of cats being standoffish - my cats are lovebugs and I have never met a cat that I didn't like ;-)
I liked that the author wasn't preachy about his "cat love" - it is more like just a series of anecdotes regarding his cats and their influence in his life.
Anyways - the only thing that would have made this book a bit more enjoyable would be pictures - other than that, if you enjoy cats there are good stories in this book. And, I agree that men seem to get left out of the whole Mad Cat Lady thing - I have met a few good men who enjoy their cats just as much as us gals.

Now that I have read it and shamefully took a year to journal it, I am going to pass it along - hopefully whoever gets it next journals it right away ( gawd - I still can't figure out how I didn't journal this darn book when it arrived - (shaking my head in wonder).....)
