Bought in Sue Ryder Charity Shop, Walthamstow.

Better written than a lot of cat biographies. I liked the cat facts as well as the story of this cat rescue and the development of the relationship between cat and "owner".

Off to my 100% Secret Santa partner who I know likes cats.

Thank you for the books and gifts, you are very generous. Funnily enough I'm currently reading the Puppy that Came for Christmas

30 Dec 17 - As a cat lover and having three cats I always feel inclined to pick up a book about one. I was a bit surprised when in the first few pages, the author gets the cat to his home and says he puts food, milk and water down for it, when actually you shouldn't give cats milk and I thought as a founder of an animal charity he would have known this. However later in the book when he talks of his campaign against the killing of seals, I realised that this book was actually written a while ago, and maybe explained this. As a read this was a fairly quick one, the author does go off on a tangent quite a bit though and some of these tangents are more interesting than others. What I did like was that he didn't think his cat was particularly special (so many I've read claim they have a remarkable cat, but when I've read the book, just can't see it myself), it was just a story about them getting to know one another, and there were certainly some moments I could relate to with my gang.

Sending on to grant a new year wish

Thank you for this wishlist book :)

A book about a grumpy white cat who was rescued by a dog person.

This is a heart warming tale that will make you smile, especially if you are a cat owner. As someone who has to pill a cat 4 times a day, I could really relate to the fitness chapter!

I did also like the bits of history about cats that was sprinkled here and there. I sometimes found it didn’t flow very well, mainly when the author was talking about his own life, rather than the cats. This did slow the book down somewhat and I tended to put it down for a while when I got to those bits.

I found it hard to read at times as my cat has been very ill this week and being reminded of some of the most charming cat behaviours was just making me sad.

Overall this is one for the Cat fans.

Have a very Merry Christmas!

Also a note to say when I was reading this, we were told by the vet that every day with my cat was a bonus. Over two weeks later and he is still here defying the odds, snoozing under the Christmas tree :D

This special book was together with another book and some goodies in the package from my international secret santa 2019 , redfox. Thank you very much!

Even though I don' t have a cat I like this cute story and especially the development in the relation between the protagonists. When I went up to our terrace today in order to finish the book I " met" one cat of our neighbourhood which always looked at me If I really wanted to come there on the terrace to sit in my chair. So the question of ownership was definitely present when reading.
Read for a challenge in the German forum, category Christmas book.

The cat is coming again for Christmas and European Secret Santa helps continuing its journey.

Thank you for this book, it looks really interesting and I'm sure I'll enjoy reading it when I get to it. Thanks too for the lovely selection of goodies you sent as my Christmas gifts I love it all :-)

As I love all animals I really enjoyed this book, I thought that it was well written and not overly sentimental. Lots of history of cat interactions with us humans plus "facts" on the looking after of cats.

Going to a good Bookcrossing friend as a Christmas gift :-)

Happy Christmas !!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much yorkshire-lass for the wonderful Christmas parcel which included, amongst other things, this book. Hope all its previous readers had a good Christmas & wishing you all the best for 2022.

An entertaining read, although as kingfan30 has said, the author does tend to go off on a tangent & once or twice they went on & on a bit too long...

Overall, a book that can be enjoyed whether you are a cat lover or not 😻
