2 comments about Cat "Tails" to Soothe the Soul.

1. In this wonderful well written collection, the author has managed to tell each story in a way that makes you understand the unique personality of the cat involved. Each cat helps the people around them deal with life's trials. It was easy to visualize the characters, including the cats, as they each learned a lesson from the cats. Each story was compelling and I couldn't wait to read the next one.



2. The book leaves you wanting to read more. I laughed and cried and was able to relate in different ways to the people in the stories. The book is well written and an easy read. A must read for all animals lovers.

5 comments about Moses the kitten.

1. In the beginning a man found a very ill kitten, so he went to a farm close by. The people there said, "We can help." They gave him some warm milk and meat scraps. Moses, the kitten, one day was hungry and nobody was around. So he went searching for food. Then he found a sow (or pig) and saw all her piglets. They were all eating so he decided to call the sow his mother, and he drank from her and got milk. As he grew up he had a very good life and he always remembered and kept company with his adopted mother, the sow.

2. This is a very touching story. There is a lot of valuable information about farm life that I think is fascinating. Some of the language is tough for a child. However, it is great for a child to learn his/her grammer.



3. I loved this book. I love all of James Herriot's books. He is my favorite author. To bad he is dead. He died in 1994. This book is about a little kitten who is found by a vet. Moses is put in the stove to warm him up. The farmer's wife puts him with the piglets. And he starts to eat with them. And he lives with them forever. Buy it. You'll love it.



4. The text of this book is pure James Herriot, with absolutely no attempt to speak down to a young audience. Therefore, the use of the regional dialect may be a bit of a challenge to some young readers, but the exquisite illustrations should spur nine year olds & older to read it for themselves. It should be stressed that this is a true story as all of Herriot's writing is based on his experiences as a country veterinarian.

   Do resist the temptation to skim through the book for the illustrations before reading it though. The illustrations are definitely a part of the story and one of the double page illustrations will definitely get a better reaction if not seen until one reads the preceding text.

   If this "children's book" is left out on the coffee table, I predict that everyone in the family will at one time or another read it and enjoy it. I'm sure that any teenagers will wait until nobody sees them reading it, and that they won't admit enjoying it, but chances are they will.

   Also, this book may well inspire those 12 and older to read James Herriot's adult books.




5. This is a beautiful, moving story for children, which will touch even the parent reading the book! My only complaint about that it uses archaic (or regional?) language that in many cases even I (the parent!) didn't understand. It didn't really keep us from enjoying the story; it was just frustrating for me to be flustered by words in a children's book! I would recommend it nonetheless; just be sure to read it to your kids rather than handing it to them to read themselves, as it may frustrate a young reader.

1. And there's nothing funnier. Gurney's verbiage and cartoons are superb. Excellent gift suggestion for ailurophiles and people who enjoy laughing at them. Guaranteed better than Prozac for a down day.



2. This book pokes fun at cat lovers, cat haters, cat history, and cats in general with absolutely brilliant illustrations along with it. A wonderful read, well worth the effort of searching eBay and the zShops for it. A+++!!
