Cats in May

I'm glad I live alone. Otherwise people would think I've gone mad! I giggled until I hurt at the antics of Doreen, her enthusiastic but inept husband Charlie, and her Siamese cats, Sheba and Solomon. Her method of interpreting for us *exactly* what the cats are saying had me helpless with laughter. A short, easy to read, wonderful book. Recommended without hesitation.

This book is similar (as far as I remember) to the first one in the sense that there is not a real story. Just day-to-day events in which the cats are involved. Although the cats are cute and funny, somehow it doesn't add up to a good read. The part I liked the best was about a squirrel they rescued. Her husband is also rather amusing. Otherwise not much made an impression on me, although the writer is excellent at reading the general temperament and attitude of cats towards each other, other animals and, of course, humans.

The book was okay but I leave the book feeling that I know no more about Doreen, Charles and their cats than before I started reading the book. I just never managed to connect with Tovey's writing style and the chapters had the feeling of being stories that were only funny if one had been there.
