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!

Interesting story about a family and their pets. Reminds me of my house.
Very enjoyable for any cat lover.
This is an outstanding, well written, entertaining gift book. Cat and animal lovers should all enjoy it. The book has a beautifully illustrated cover and nice pictures inside of various animals. The book covers not only various adventures of different animals but also shows their intelligence and emotional natures. Roger Caras, the author, writes in a clever, down-home, folksy way. The author also shows his deep caring, respect, and understanding for his many 4-legged friends.
My vet loaned me her copy. I like it so well I plan to buy my own copy and also one for a friend. I look forward to reading other books by Roger Caras. He has written over 60.

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.
