My Cat's Tale : A Journal of My Cat's Life and Times

I would have given "My Cat's Tale" 5 stars - except that the book's author sprinkled little "pointers" throughout the journal. Some pages are completely filled with advice so that they're essentially wasted - my solution was to affix large photos onto these pages and cover up the text completely. Ms. Glantz seems to be confused as to what a "journal" is - it IS a place for the individual to compose personalized entries. It ISN'T a training book. If I had wanted "tips", I would have bought a book on animal training.

Otherwise, "My Cat's Tale" is one of the better companion animal journals I've found. It has cute, appealing sketches and a nice color palate. It isn't too "busy", but it's still attractive to look at. The pages are large enough for two standard-sized photos (there are about a dozen pages set aside for pictures, but I ended up putting many more in, over the author's text). It's probably most useful for someone who's just adopted a kitten, as some of the journal entries focus on kitten-specific milestones (e.g., kitty's first...). Many of the entries can be filled in at any stage in your cat's life, though.

The canine version of "My Cat's Tale" is "My Dog's Tale", also by Lorie Glantz. The format is identical.

"My Cat's Tale" is nice journal, but, sadly enough...it COULD have been a GREAT journal!
