This true story is heartwarming and touching, yet funny and entertaining. Norton is an amazing cat, and theirs is an amazing relationship. Who would have thought that a cat could teach his owner so much about life and love? This is definitely not a book for cat haters!

The story of The Cat Who Went to Paris is a wonderful read and is a love story between cat and owner. It is written with a lot of wit and even more love.

This is the story of a cat named Norton, who is no ordinary cat. The story follows Norton's adventures in his early kittenhood, along with Peter, his "dad".

The cat, Norton, is at once endearing and unique. Peter Gethers is not the only one to fall in love with Norton, as will anyone who reads this book. This is a beautiful story for any cat lover as well as anyone who loves a great love story.

There are two more books in this series, can't wait to read those!

Norton is so adorable ... everyone falls in love with this Scottish Fold. Its not so much about Norton going to Paris, as its about him going everywhere that Peter goes. Some of his adventures are close to unbelivable, compared to my common domestic felines.

Maybe I was expecting too much but I can't say I liked this book.
I didn't like the too many reference about TV shows and old movie,nor I liked the name dropping.
I'm happy to know that there are people that decide to give the benefit of the doubt to an animal,instead of hating it for no reason other than its specie,and I'm glad Mr. Gethers, thanks to Norton, figured out that while a cat may be true to its feline nature,it has also an individual personality.
Hopefully this book will inspire more people to look animals in a different way.
