I like Tom's work but find myself having a hard time sticking with his longwinded kitty insights when compressed into a single book about his (unacknowledged?) desire to run a cattery.

It's a humorous book about cats. *Obviously* I'm going to give it 5 stars.

I leave long pauses between reading the books, so with this one I only just now caught up with the point I started following Tom and his cats on Twitter and reading his blogs.
Of course the initial attraction was The Bear and his beautiful deep eyes (see the cover of this book), but I ended up staying for Tom's general (or rather pretty particular) musings on nature.
I'm looking forward to reading the next book, (and the one that's in the works!), but it will again be in a couple of months, most likely. I just wanna savour them.
Btw, this one, is so far my fave in the series, (seems a bit weird calling it a series in a non-fiction context, but that's kind of what it is isn't it), hence the rating.

Do you love the twitter and facebook of MySadCat? Then you will definitely enjoy this book as well.
This book is filled with much humor (both from the cats and from Tom's father) over the adventures of raising cats.
I had not read the other books previous to this one but I enjoyed this one immensely. I think my favorite part were the cat commandments. I have to say these two remind me of my cat:
"Thou shalt have no other gods before thyself"
THIS^
She hates me loving on any other cat but her and makes it quite known she is the all powering God in my life. That any other worship of any other cat is forbidden and jealousy will rear its ugly head fast.
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's cardboard box."
This one is a bit on the "if you have a box, then the box is mine. If you are in the box, then you have to get out of the box because it is mine and never ever yours." This applies to the other cats. She hates sharing with anyone and makes it quite clear the boxes are off limits to anyone if she is in them.
This book is definitely worth a read and one you will find much humor and enjoy the misadventures of raising cats who have quite different personalities. So pick this one up and read!

Enjoyed this very much! The author knows his cats and cat behavior well, and his stories about them are delightfully told, and often hilarious! Love the British wit, author's personal style, and would love to meet every one of the cats.
