Famed Hotel Cat Inspires Remarkable Book

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on July 8, 2016

Verified Purchase

I bought this for my friend who absolutely loved it. She had experienced the cat but did not know that the book existed and still talks about it. The drawings by Hillary Knight who did the famed ELOISE books at another New York hotel, are a plus.

Oddly enough - a Philosophy for Life included in a nice story

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 12, 2007

Unbeknownst to me, this book illustrates some of my deepest held philosophies for life; which apparently I learned on my mother's lap as she read to us! Additionally, it is a neat story, beautifully illustrated. The pictures add to the depth of the story because of Hillary Knight's great expressions on people AND animals. And the cat attitude comes through so well in the writing (things are mmmrh) and their expressions.

Long story short, here's two of the lessons: 1. Dreams are to be used to solve problems. 2. Dreams are not confined to singluar time and space (therefore you can meet with people from other times and spaces, such as relatives who have passed on. And, having dreamed my deceased grandfather and had discussions that have helped clarify circumstances for me, I'd have to say that the cats have the right idea.

Enjoy!
