“A Fur Person is a cat whom human beings love in the right way, allowing him to keep his dignity, his reserve and his freedom .” A sweet story which also include the Ten Commandments of the Gentleman Cat.

Charming and delightful book told from the perspective of a cat who decides it's time to leave the streets and find himself a housekeeper. The author clearly has been a housekeeper for at least one cat in the past and has closely observed cat behavior.
Highly recommended to all cat people.

It reminded me of Foodini. Cute, humorous, and heartwarming. A Cat About Town, aka a Gentleman Cat, decides it’s time to obtain a housekeeper, or Staff, worthy of his nature. A sweet adventure about the trials and adventures of a young cat looking for a permanent home. Good pick for pet lovers, but especially cat lovers.

One of the techs at my vet's clinic had this book when I was there on Thursday, and she loaned it to me to read. It is a small book, but much like a cat, small things can have big messages.
It is the story of one cat's journey from kittenhood to realization that he is a Fur Person. Anyone who has lived with and loved a feline will enjoy this story.
My favorite bit: "For a Fur Person is a cat whom human beings love in the right way, allowing him to keep his dignity, his reserve and his freedom. And a Fur Person is a cat who has come to love one or, in very exceptional cases, two human beings and who has decided to stay with them as long as he lives. This can only happen if the human being has imagined part of himself into a cat just as the cat has imagined part of himself into a human being. It is a mutual exchange."
This is a sweet story, a quick read, and a tribute to cats and humans who love them.
