readerette's review against another edition

Go to review page

emotional inspiring reflective fast-paced

5.0

A short and sweet summary of major philosophical views, the human experience, and how cats live their lives. A little trite at times, but some great moments of inspiration for people (especially cat people) who like to examine how they live their lives.

There is one section detailing horrific cruelty and sadistic killing of cats through the centuries. The graphic descriptions start in the paragraph (page 20 in my hardcover copy) that begins "Hostility to cats is not new." You can skip to the next chapter, or to the paragraph that begins "At bottom, hatred of cats may be an expression of envy."
