Comments on: Cats and Their Women
The bookcrossing group I belong to sent me "Cats and Their Women" last night. Here's the write-up I posted on that website. I thought you'd enjoy it, too.

Received and read last night. I couldn't resist it. Actually I went through it twice -- once for the owner's comments and once to figure out which cats most looked like my critters.*
* Since I KNOW you are dying to know, Perspicacity Purrsonality "Cassy" doesn't really look like any of the cats a lot, although the cat lying down on pg. 109 has some similarities... Lady Olivia d'Flufferuni "Livvy" looks much like the cats on page 79 and 95 to me.
My favorite write-up? This one delights me:
Liz Brahm: "I think cats came here from outer space. On their old planet, they were the big shots. They had jobs and cars and houses; they had careers and took vacations and complained about taxes. Then, one day, one overworked, underpaid cat said, "Enough! Let's blow this nip stand!" and they got in their kitty spaceships and searched until they found the perfect world: Earth. Here humans welcome them into their homes, feed them, pet them, buy them cat toys, let them sleep all day, and love them for the amazing, mysterious creatures they are. ... I look at Mini and see the possibility of all this in her eyes, and I think, "Who's the pet here?" She'll never tell."
Note: I think Ms. Brahm's Mini looks like Livvy, too, come to think of it.
What a delight. I've added a bookmark from the local humane society fundraiser with some nifty quotes to add to the interest for future readers. Enjoy!
It's a really quick read and you might enjoy checking if this title is in your library. (At $US 10.95, I'm not quite sure it's worth buying...)
