review 1: This little book is an intimate memoir of Lessing's life with cats. Frankly it is at times very difficult to read. It demands both pragmatism, as well as the insight that the place of cats in the world in a different time and place is very different from what it is now. Lessing seems to dislike the idea of spaying and neutering because of what it puts the animals through, documents what unwanted cats and kittens experience, but doesn’t seem to factor that in to her own perspective.However, her sentiment and affection for cats is clearly real and profound. It is accessible to anyone who reads this book. I believe it will resonate with anyone who loves cats as will her observations of the relationships of various cats to her and to each other. It is a remarkable book ... morethat I think will stay with me for a long time to come.
review 2: An absolutely exquisite book, the language of which is peerless, paints such clever portraits of the creatures with which the author shared her life. The narrative style is so clear and evocative, a playful and joyous celebration of the lives of these funny little creatures, yet at times deeply poignant. I never thought that I'd be so moved by such a seemingly trivial aspect of humanity, but I'm honestly floored. less
