If you want to know what your cat thinks about you then this is the book for you. Short, well illustrated and insightful about feline thought, you will get the low-down on a typical cat's suburban life.

[Lana Kamennof-sine · Rating 4 out of 5]

The tale of an independent male cat in England from aforementioned cat's perspective. Suspect most who have a feline, or several, in their lives will be able to relate.

Very short, but not for children. Strange. Like a memoir, but of someone not particularly likeable. Still, the cat did have some adventures, so, not a wasted half hour.

Snarky, distainful, I loved Belshazzar's voice in this book, though the story was much too short to actually be called a novel, it was a fun read. It was published in the 1970s and it made me wonder why there weren't more stories in a cat's voice.
