This is a most entertaining and charming book! I really enjoyed reading it - it is great for anyone who loves nature and animals. Roger Caras shares witty and interesting tales about his menagerie of pets and the wonderful home he has made for them. The reader gets a delightful insight into the enchanting spirit of both the writer and his creatures. Enjoy!

Roger Caras, president of the ASPCA, and his wife, Jill, bought a farm in Maryland, where they live with about 30 animals, so the book contains a few creatures besides the many cats. All are treated with the best concern for their happiness, and none are ever turned into meat. Plenty of black and white pictures and some sensible advice on keeping animals, though the book is more for entertainment than advice. Be warned: If you are an animal lover, a book like this can make you want to pull up stakes and buy a big property in the country.
