A great read of selected castles in the UK with resident cats and their story/history

[Shirley · Rating 5 out of 5]

Richard Surman has a series of "Cats" books, stories of cats living in various domiciles in Britain and Ireland. They are all absolutely charming, written with humor and interesting information-complete with photos. In this book cats are found residing in Berkeley Castle, Windsor Castle and the Tower of London to name only three. You have profiles of the cats' personalities, habits, preferences as well as a brief history of the residence. Mr Surman also has Church Cats and Cathedral Cats to name just two more. These are all such fun reads-even if you're a dog person.

Photos and short snippets about the cats. Suriman has traveled through Britain collecting images from various castles of felines.

Gorgeous photos. The text is written with obvious affection for cats and is tinged with a gentle dose of humour at times.
