review 1: Read it because I'd just finished it's prequel, Paw Tracks in the Moonlight, and I was anxious to return to Owl Cottage, a place as dear to me now as the Burrow and Hagrid's home of Harry Potter fame. O'Connor, now married, retire, and ready to let another cat into his life, finds that his old bachelor home is once again for sale. As he seeks to repeat the happiness he had with his Maine Coon hybrid, Toby Jug, he buys one then another, then another, and yet another. They're truly fascinating animals, unique among domesticated felines, but none are quite like Toby. Though one can't manufacture providential kismet, O'Connor and his wife, Catherine, enjoy their fur babies.
review 2: Rather rambling account of the author's life in the countryside with his wife and
... morefour different Maine Coon cats (some overlapping, some not). One section for each cat, who have very different personalities; also various digressions about a previous cat (who features in another book), over-long descriptions of country walks, and other things that occur to the author from time to time. Quite enjoyable, but could have done with some editing. Three and a half stars, really. less
