The Cat Who Went to Paris by Peter Gethers


TITLE:  The Cat Who Went to Paris
AUTHOR:  Gethers, Peter
GENRE:  Non-Fiction/Autobiography
DATES READ:  8/19/2012 - 8/21/2012
MY RATING:  4.5/5

I love cats.  It is no secret.  My mom bought this for me as a Christmas/Birthday gift a few years ago, and I've been on a "read everything I have on my bookshelf" kick.  This book was next in line, and the cat called into question is a beautiful Scottish fold known as Norton.

As you can see on the cover of my book, this is a "two volumes in one" book, so my next review will be regarding A Cat Abroad.  But for now, on to The Cat Who Went to Paris.

This story is an absolutely must read for cat lovers!  But I should also states, it will only be understood by cat lovers.  Those of us who understand their feline quirks in idiosyncrasies.  Describing the settling of the book seems moot, as they are only unique when the beloved Norton is present.

Norton is altogether the glue that holds this story together, while Gethers takes an autobiography and makes it as delicious as fiction.  He perfectly expresses the unique and subtle (or not so subtle in Norton's case) relationship between man and feline.  This Scottish fold is absolutely unforgettable, just like his story.

Will read and write soon!
