Summary: A charming novel
Review: Peter Gethers never considered himself a cat person until the day a tiny grey ball of fluff was placed in his hands. Enter Norton, the Scottish Fold Cat. Gethers and Norton soon became inseperable. From the beginning Norton exhibited extraordinary confidence no matter where he was, or in whose company; he was sensitive, intelligent and always aware of what was happening. Norton accompanied Gethers everywhere--to the office, to parties, on business trips to Los Angeles and Paris, on weekends to Fire Island; hotel staff and airline personnel were eager to serve him. Like Cleveland Amory's cat, Polar Bear, Norton became a social connoisseur who influenced his owner's love life. Anyone who has ever owned a cat will find this book quite amusing, especially the part about Pounce treats.

Summary: BEST BOOK I'VE READ IN A lONG TIME!
Review: The book, The cat who went to Paris was both heartfelt, and funny. It was especially wonderful because it is about a real cat, I adored this book and I think that it would be liked at many ages My favorite part in the book was when Norton, the cat, went walking around in New York in Peter Gether's pocket, Norton sounds like a great cat, and I hope that Mr. Gethers got his wish and Norton lived to be 22(that's in the second book) The part that I almost cried at was when... you'll have to read the book to find out! (Annoying huh?), and I hope you Like it! It was GREAT!

Summary: Hilarious and Poignant Story of a Cat Training His Master
Review: The Cat Who Went to Paris is a delightful book for cat-lovers and cat-haters. What Norton does to his owner--teaching him how to love--is nothing short of miraculous. We see the jaded baby-boomer (and avowed cat-hater) turn into mush with Norton in his life. And it's an often hilarious transformation!Even though Gethers takes Norton along on his world travels, Norton ends up taking everyone in Gethers' circle for a ride! If you want to read about a cat who partied with Roman Pulanski and made Harrison Ford scrub a bathtub, this is the book for you!

Summary: Comedy and literature from a reformed cat hater
Review: This book is a delight, regardless of one's feelings about cats, although cat lovers will take particular pleasure in Peter Gethers' transformation from avowed lifelong cat hater to, er, pussy-whipped cat partner for life. Gethers' writing sings, with lots of comedy and literary references as he uses his relationship with his Scottish Fold, Norton, as a wonderful excuse to make observations on the social habits of New Yorker, Parisians, Californians and others, and on the power of cute, furry creatures as chick bait. An easy but intelligent read, this is a great book for anyone appreciates cats or skillful writing.

Summary: The Cat Who went to Paris
Review: This is a cute story about a small gray Scottish Fold cat named Norton. His owner, Peter, though skeptical at first, begins to adjust to the new kitten given to him by his girlfriend. He begins to bond with the kitten gradually and as it begins to grow, he starts to take it everywhere, even abroad. This cat is highly unusual because it likes to travel! Peter, a single guy, shares his own feelings and insights with romance as well as cats, making the story personal and enjoyable. If you are a romantic and a cat lover, you will find that Norton has a sweet and lovable personality that fits in nicely to a romantic story with a happy ending.

Summary: A good cat story
Review: This is a story about a self proclaimed 'cat hater' who is given a cat as a present. Peter 'the cat hater' melts when Norton the cat begins to purr. As the story unfold you find out that Norton is one cool cat - he travels, he seems to understand how Peter is feeling, he waits for Peter, he comes when his name is called. I enjoyed reading about how Peter's dad (also a cat hater) could not resist the charms of Norton. It was a funny and touching book about how Norton effects various people's lives.

Summary: A wonderful lovestory
Review: This is the best book about what love can do to you.When I am sad or depressed Peter Gethers and his Norton can always cheer me up a little bit.It is interesting and funny to read how Peter Gethers(how used to hate cats)was taught by Norton(a little cat)to love cats.I gave this book as a present to almost every of my friends ,and they loved it all!!
I know Mr Gethers lives sometimes in New York does anybody know if he and Jannis are okay? I am a bit worried after this terrible,unbeliefable terror act.If anybody knows something please tell me.
