review 1: This book was alright. It was a little bit boring in the begging but it started to get better as I read farther in. It was really sad though. I didn't like that the whole town hated cats and wanted to get rid of them all. I liked the characters too. My favourite was Billy. He was my favourite because he was really kind. He took a stray cat and nursed it back the health he also tried to save the stray cats from being hurt by the town. Cat Found was a sad and good book.
review 2: Billy lives in a town that hates cats, especially stray cats. His gun-loving father hates cats, as do his buddies. The town decides to round up and kill the cats, with a bounty of $5 per cat offered. I found a scene in which a cat was shot very upsetting, but sadly there are some who ne... moreed to see the consequences of cruelty to animals. My attitudes toward animal cruelty were shaped by classic books such as Beautiful Joe and Black Beauty read at a young age. The story does have a happy conclusion, thanks to Billy and some cat-loving friends, and his father's transformational experience. The ending may have been wrapped up a little too neatly for the adult reader, but provides a nice ending for the young audience the book is intended for. The book is a 2013 Silver Birch selection. less
