Favorite Cat Stories

by Stella Whitelaw

Favorite Cat Stories is a collection of Stella Whitelaw's newest tales of feline frolics, guaranteed to charm and captivate cat lovers everywhere. In this delightful treasury of 25 stories, celebrated author of cat tales, Stella Whitelaw, introduces an irresistible company of single-minded, adventurous felines...Poor old Tucker is a non-achieving cat whose reular battles with the cat-flap are legendary. However, as the story of `The Cat That Couldn't Quite' developes, Tucker proves his worth in surprisingly heroic style. In `Job Satisfaction' Byron's well-meaning owner hires him out as a social worker to the toughest inmate in the local prison. A tall order perhaps, but Byron throws himself into the job with great gusto. Tucker, Byron and many other unforgetable characters are vividly brought to life by the mastery of Stella Whitelaw, who demonstrates once more her special gift for capturing the quirky essence of these engaging creatures.

A collection of short stories with cats as the main characters. Some of stories better than the others but all in all a good read. Having been written by an author from England, its interesting reading the different word usage throughout the stories.

Collection of short stories all involving cats. Some weren't as interesting and engaging as others but I found I liked alot of them. Cute, sometimes quirky, light-hearted stories but also emotion-filled ones. Great reads if you just want to have a couple pages at a time to read and get a full story. Definitely a must read for cat lovers.
