Felix the Railway Cat by Kate Moore
3.0
I love a good cat story and I've been following Felix on facebook (not a massive facebook fan, but there's nothing like cat videos sometimes) so this felt like a good piece of floof light reading. It's a sweet story really, about how the staff of Huddersfield train station persuaded the manager to let them get a cat, and how Felix the kitten settled in, the adventures she got up to and how she charmed the staff and the commuters. It's funny to read about how her facebook page got started, and then how things built up to crazy proportions, with the national media turning up wanting interviews. It is things like this that keep a good atmosphere at work going and the staff happy. Oh I would love an office cat but that's never going to happen where I work.
As much as I love cats and Felix, I've got to admit the book was a bit over written and dragged at times. Maybe some of the over written anecdotes would have been fun for the people featured, and it helped to plump up the book to full book size. But then... if you're picking up a book called Felix the Railway Cat, you're not going to get prize winning writing. It is what it is. Light reading for cat fans.
