I probably should not have read this while sitting in the middle seat of an airplane. I have a real soft spot for cats, and I'm sure the folks sitting next to me thought I was quite the ninny for crying the way I did. Not that these stories are sad - far from it. They're funny, charming, and very touching. Though my parents owned copies of Herriot's original veterinary memoirs (All Creatures Great and Small, et al), this is the first book I've read by him. But they were so well-written that I think I'll have to go find copies of his other works. Definitely recommended for cat-lovers. ( )

I love Herriot's love of animals, and this book devoted to kitties is the best of the bunch. ( )

Vignettes about particular cats Herriot encountered during and after his career as a vet.

These are sweet stories from another era. Recommended for animal lovers. ( )
