General Comments
Marilyn Edwards shows a remarkable degree of observation into cat behaviour and has related a tale in delightful and descriptive prose. I had to keep on reading, alternately laughing,crying and hugging myself for the sheer love expressed, in awe at the wonder of life and crying at the inevitably sad parts of loving and losing. I felt I knew the cats and their family personally.
The book is so well written that it is capable of being enjoyed by a much wider readership than cat-lovers.
On average, people found this review very helpful

I absolutely agree. There were not enough tissues in my box to get me though the whole book. Marilyn Edwards knows what a fulfilling, funny, frightening and sometimes painful experience it is having a family of cats - and she writes about it beautifully. This book is a delightful read.
