Cats by the Way


Read by Jessica Louise

(4.2 stars; 18 reviews)

Between these pages you will find only the good, old-fashioned, every-day cat. No Angora or thoroughbred has been entered here, unless it be "Hansie," who is little more than mentioned. These are true incidents and true lives, with the exception of the one chapter, "The Mission of the Cat." The reader will pardon the intrusion of Victor, the dog. I have added him as the cook adds her trace of spice, but feeling also that he is entirely in place, being an ardent cat-lover himself. (Summary by Sarah E. Trueblood) (1 hr 46 min)

Reviews

So many kitties!


(2.5 stars)

Except for the last chapter, which is fictional, this book consists of brief but apparently true accounts of cats. The author was obviously an ardent cat lover. However I would not suggest reading this book if you have recently lost a pet or are sensitive to such things. Numerous kitties met their end in this book, some of them naturally and in comfort, but others had a more unfortunate demise. Many thanks to the narrator for her fine reading.

Soooooo Cute


(5 stars)

Omg it's so cute!! I love the reader too but I can't choose my favorite kitty


(5 stars)

Lovely narration. I too found myself teary eyed at the end of many chapters. Being a lifelong cat lover and most of my life a dog lover also, I found the tales delightful. Loss of a pet is a sad but unavoidable end in our relationships with them.


(5 stars)

It was the best audio I’ve ever heard and wished their was a number 2!

Cats and Tears


(4 stars)

Lovely little tales, but I found myself in tears far too often!
