A man after my own heart, loved it what can I say, he treats his cat Norton the same way I treat my cat Blossom. A must for every cat lover. ( )

This was a great read .... you could feel Norbet making his way into Peter's heart ( )

For the first few chapters, I couldn't help but think Gethers was an appallingly irresponsible kitten owner. Despite knowing little about cats, he claimed he just 'knew' that Norton was clever and wouldn't come to any harm, even when following him around the streets, or being taken to hotels or on planes.

Despite this, it contained charming and amusing tales about Norton's escapades and his ability to win over even the most cat-phobic people.

Kirkus Reviews: The humorous and touching memoirs of a man and his cat--a Scottish Fold named Norton who travels everywhere, especially deep into this reformed cat-hater's heart. When Gethers receives Norton as a present from a girlfriend, he's less than enthusiastic--but not for long. Though the girlfriend eventually goes by the wayside, Gethers and the cat fast become pals. Soon the highly personable puss is accompanying the not-quite-as-personable Gethers everywhere--to parties, Fire Island vacations, and business trips abroad --and making friends with everyone from flight attendants to hotel managers.

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0449907635, Paperback)

"Norton is clearly a charmer, and Gethers tells his story with contagious affection....Will warm the heart of any confirmed cat-lover."
THE WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD
Before Peter Gethers met Norton, the publisher, screenwriter, and author was a confirmed cat-hater. Then everything changed. Peter opened his heart to the Scottish Fold kitten and their adventures to Paris, Fire Island, and in the subways of Manhattan took on the color of legend and mutual love. THE CAT WHO WENT TO PARIS proves that sometimes all it takes is paws and personality to change a life.
