Rating: Summary: Uplifting fun for the whole family! Review: We have this book on tape and have listened to it many, many times in the car on the way to or from some vacation destination or other. We wish the sequel was also on tape. Our family loves this tape and has for years. It is funny, sad, poignant and vivid...we feel we know Peter, Janis and Norton as part of our extended family. We just read of Norton's death in Cat Fancy Magazine and were very saddened for Peter. Please let him know that our thoughts are with him. We are eagerly awaiting the new book and hope that it will be on tape!
Rating: Summary: What does a Cat hating Baseball Writer know about life? Review: Well he learns a lot, from Norton. Who is Norton why the cat who went to Paris. This book is a must for those who do have cats, and those who claim to dislike them (but we know they secretly like them) This story chronicles a part of Gethers life, and how he is able to deal with things, and how many people feel about their pets. Norton, becomes such an intergral part of his life that he chooses the Cat over women, places to travel to and where to stay. Not bad for a cat hater. You will find that not only is Norton a cool kitty, but his owner thinks so too. The book is a must!
Rating: Summary: A heartwarming tale of a man and his cat... Review: What a wonderful book! It was so enjoyable because, as I read, I fell in love with Norton too. Gethers effectively expresses how intelligent and special Norton was. The most touching element is how Gethers conveys his unconditional love for Norton. My deepest sympathies go out to Mr. Gethers for his loss of Norton the wonder cat. This book is the perfect story for any pet-lover.
Rating: Summary: Cat owners will understand Review: What Peter Gethers shows here is the extent to which man (or woman)and cat can bond, and how surprising such a connection is for a person who has previously disliked cats. The feline just may be the ultimate pet, and for those who don't own cats or fear them, this story of Norton and his adventures might be a little too cute (and incomprehensible). It's a very personal book, and not everyone may like Gethers. My biggest complaint concerns the blue squiggly lines at the bottom of each page on my copy of the book. Definitely not deep reading, but funny if you can relate.
