5.0 out of 5 stars enchanting illustrations, May 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: A Cat (Paperback)

I have the hardback version and don't understand why that isn't available. Is there a way to find out if they were all sold out or if there are anymore to buy?? I'd love to buy a number as birthday and Christmas books to all the cat lovers I know and I'm sure a lot of people would love to see this book in hardcover. Please let me know if the hardcover can be located. It is the best cat book I have ever read and I'd love to know more about the illustrator.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cat-egorically Terrific, November 27, 1999

Howard Ross (M. Hills, OH USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Cat (Paperback)

This short book makes you feel like you have nine lives. From the beautiful minimalist drawings to the quiet eloquent words, it is a great and affordable gift. It appeals not only to cat lovers but to animal (and people) lovers everywhere. Every page brings a gentle and touching surprise.

4.0 out of 5 stars The *kayters* review, February 27, 2003

By

Katie F. "kayters" (Marietta, GA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Cat (Paperback)

This was a precious book that I bought to go with our small What Dogs Do coffee table book. I decided to read it because it was so short and I wound up really enjoying it and even reading one of the observations out loud to my husband because it reminded me so much of our cat! This is not a novel or a wonderful work of literature, but the thoughts and observations about all things feline are wonderfully on the mark! Anyone who shares life with a cat will be sure to appreciate this cute little book.
