3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting but flawed., June 7, 2005
By 
HardyBoys.us (Long Island USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Catlore (Paperback)
Catlore is a pretty good read as long as the author sticks to the topic.
Unfortunately he often goes off on tangents with screeds concerning cat neutering, Christianity, European culture and human nature among other things.

1.0 out of 5 stars an uninformed author, July 10, 2009
By 
sheri (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Catlore (Paperback)
Millions of unwanted cats are euthanized every year in the US and Dr. Morris insists that spaying and neutering are unnecessary and cruel operations. What an ignoramus.

3.0 out of 5 stars light reading about cats, December 31, 2010
This review is from: CATLORE (Hardcover)
this book has some interesting facts about cats. this book has different captions
for each page like,"do cats have esp?","what is poisonous to cats?","why do cats
sulk?"why do some cats hate men?"are there any gay cats?"etc. the author explores
each topic. i read this through very fast that is why i say it is light reading
about cats. it does not have any photos but, there are some cute illustrations of
cats in the book. some of the illustrations look like ones that were drawn back in
the 19th century;they have that quaint victorian look.
