Book Review of The Cats of Thistle Hill - A Mostly Peaceable Kingdom

The Cats of Thistle Hill - A Mostly Peaceable Kingdom
reviewed on


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.
