This delightful book is composed of very short "chapters" - so short, in fact, you could read several in a waiting room, or standing in line at the grocery store. I'm not sure I actually recommend that, however, given the gales of laughter I found myself sharing with the house as I read it.With chapters like "the vet" and "thunderstorms," Taylor translates the thoughts of his feline companions on the indignities suffered by cats in order to provide us humans with their regal and noble companionship. In a poignant chapter on reaching the end of life, the cat reader is advised to spend one more day in the sun, shred one more tissue box...all of the things that, as a life-long cat person, I have watched too many furry friends do.This is an absolutely delightful book. I cannot speak for its appeal to non-cat-lovers (how such an entity exists confounds me still!), but for anyone who has ever loved a fabulous, finicky feline, this book will strike the chords in your heart that sound every single time you look into those flashing eyes and feel the soft fur of your very best boon companion.
