The Ghost Cat by Alex Howard
3.0
adventurous emotional funny medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

Interesting portrayal of humanity and its endeavours with a funny commentary from a Victorian cat across his 9 lives over time. Made me laugh and cry several times.
Fav quotes:
"It was a happy, calm mode of communication, much unlike the shrieking voice-pollution insisted on by so many dunderheaded humans." -referring to cat language.
"Mercy, mercy! Hellish instrument of death, reveal thy purpose or begone! [...] You would have me think you dead, beast, but I will not be so foolish. You and I shall always be at war, FIE FIE!" -referring to a vacuum cleaner.
"Call yourself vermin? Then come forth and face me like he scoundrel you are!" -referring to a mouse.
"Fie, beast, you diabolical spawn of Lucifer! [...] Approach me and your gizzard will be torn asunder, you miserable, snub-nosed, drooling numpty!" -referring to a dog.
"Oh, merciful Lord, give me the strength. What foolery must I endure in this age?" -referring to time travel.
