This was the first whole book I ever read, so it's no surprise I hold it rather close to my heart. The stories are not bad, some of them are rather well-written actually and hold a few surprises as well. And let's face it, I'm the kind of person who loves cats and therefore loves this book. I even named a few of my cats based on the cats found in one of the stories :D Overall, the book is simply a part of my childhood and therefore I really love it.
