I read a couple of chapters a day of this, which was about the right amount for enjoyment, as it really is just a collection of musings about cats and stuff. It's touching in parts, amusing in others, and always leisurely in tone.

Not as enjoyable as the first volume (and I can't believe it took me two months to read!) but still a sweet collection of reflections and observations about life with cats. Nichols's closing love letter to his three cats was particularly poignant.

This was an unfortunate addition to the Nichols' oeuvre for one main reason: it was published in 1960 in Britain where evidently the word p**sy was used the way we now use "kitty." And had no other meanings attached to it. I admit I'm not an especially mature person, however, this made reading this book truly ridiculous.

I'm a fan of Nichols' garden writing. This is less good. It's clearly a book written by a man deeply in love with all things feline, but it tips over into the precious and the twee with depressing regularity. I can't recommend it.
