5 comments about Horses Are Made to Be Horses.

1. This book was a joy to read, and explains carefully why horses behave the way they do. Should be required reading for anyone before they buy a horse. Gives one a deeper appreciation and understanding into the mind of the horse. All horses are neighing their thanks to Mr. Mairinger.



2. Although the writing style and the frequent repetition in the text sometimes distracted from getting the point that was being made, the advice and lessons within the book are well worth digging for. I found the last few chapters had the most to offer with the last couple lines of the book really summing it up.



3. This book wonderfully led you into the mind of a horse. It was very well written. The only reason that I rated it 4 stars intsead of five was because I did not fully agree with everything said. That is ok, it was only my opinion. This book shows you how to reconsider everything you do on a horses back, near a horse or around a horse. It does no tell you how to do something or what it might feel like, but it tells you how to get there. I loved it. Any person that is even a little interested in Horses and would like to know more, I urge you to read this book.



4. Unfortunately this book seems to be more of a gratitude to Mr Mairinger by the author than a dressage tutorial as one might have expected. There are too many analogies used (50 pages out of 170) to emphasize the basic and most important fact of horsemanship; "feeling of your horse" Focus on different effects and transitions is not covered thoroughly and well enough.



5. This book should be read by anyone who wants to ride a horse, whether they are interested in dressage or not. Mairinger does an excellent job of making the rider understand and respect these beautiful animals.

1. For a cat breeder, or those just interested in the origin of the cat breeds this is THE book to own. It marks the point in time when cats started to move from a poorly understood, often abused animal to the family pet we know today.
   
   Everyone who loves cats should know about this man, his work and this book.
   
   Written in a style only the Victorian English could do so well, it is a time machine to another time, another place and another view of the world.
   
   It's also about cats!

2 comments about The Kingdom of Heart: A Pet Loss Journal.

1. When I lost my dog, I really felt like no one would understand. It was so hard to want to pick up and move on, but this book has helped me more than words can really say. It not only provides some heartfelt reading, but also gives ample space to write, from the heart, all the memories about your pet. It has helped me start to heal. I highly recommend this book to anyone who has gone through such a profound, deep loss as losing a furry best friend! I wish I could meet the author and thank her in person for helping me pay tribute to my best friend!



2. I bought this journal and three self-help books for my husband just before we put down my husband's dog, Granger of 16+ years. My spouse and Granger were true best friends. Me and the other dogs came later in life. So Granger was a large part. This journal is the only book that I bought that he liked and that has helped him in the grieving process. This book helped when nothing else could. So I recommend it highly.

1. This is a very good book about Lories and Lorikeets, and covers just about everything. In addition to the information, this book is filled with photos that are just beautiful. There is literally a picture on every one of its 156 pages.

5 comments about The Cat Who Went To Paris.

1. If you have ever loved a cat, this is the book for you! Norton was definitely one of a kind, and you will be charmed by his adventures. I gave away my first copy of this book and had to buy another so I could reread it! Norton definitely stole my heart!



2. Gethers is no Cleveland Amory, and readers who have savored Amory's wonderful CAT WHO CAME FOR CHRISTMAS will be a little disappointed with this book. The chief problem, for me, is Gethers as a person, not as a writer. He doesn't come off as someone I would like to know. That said, you who travel with your animal companions will be amused and impressed by the way Gethers and the feline Norton gad about. I used to travel around this continent in a van with my cats, and camp or visit cat loving friends - challenge enough! For the seven or so years reported in this book Norton has joined his dad on planes, trains, automobiles, ferries, subways, cross country skis and hikes. He is a seasoned and recognized traveller aboard the Concorde, a pampered favorite in Parisian hotels, a local celebrity on Fire Island, and an office cat in Manhattan. Jet setters take note: 1. always include two folding cardboard cat boxes and two five pound bags of litter in your carry-ons. (One box for the rental car and one for the hotel room.) 2.Paris restaurants not only permit, but encourage the inclusion of well-mannered pets in your dinner group. 3. The rich are not different, they are only annoyingly more so.



3. I found this book at the library yesterday - I'm halfway thru the book. It is hysterical!!! I'm laughing every other page!! This author has a great sense of humor and an excellent writer :) His cat Norton must have been a real sweetie - a Scottish Fold. I've decided to buy myself a copy AND will be buying a copy for 2 of my cat loving friends for Christmas. A great upbeat read! :)



4. Norton is just the sweetest little Scottish Fold kitten one could ever hope to meet. His folded ears, gentle disposition and loyalty to his owner, Peter Gethers, will astound you. Norton has a puss-in-ality extraordinaire. He trots obediently five steps behind his owner to the market, on the beach, and to visit friends. In a car, he sits perched atop Gethers shoulder and watches life go by. On a ferry ride, he puts his paws on the rail and follows the waves. Even Norton's father who is a confirmed "dog-lover, cat-hater" mellows up to the adorable little fellow and they become best friends. Norton even has the ability to help Gethers choose his girlfriends; some Norton likes, others he does not - and emphatically lets Gethers know which ones do not win his approval. Norton is a jet-setter. He accompanies Gethers on trans-continental flights to Paris and many other countries around the world. He dines in luxury at five-star dining establishments, sits in his own chair as if he had just graduated from the most exquisite Swiss finishing school, and enjoys his own fare specially prepared by the chef. However, according to Norton's palate, nothing tops a good can of Pounce!
   
   No one could write a book about a cat in quite the same style and wit as Gethers. Norton is not a work of fiction; he is Gethers feline companion, soul mate and best friend. You will relish Norton's antics and adventures from start to finish. This book is an oldie but one of my all time favourites. If there were a hundred starts in the rating scale, this would shine at one hundred.



5. Norton, is a credit to Scotish Folds. And Mr. Gethers know excatly how fortunate he is in having the most Purr-fect of friends. This a joyful read of a cat who just can't help be lovable, and who loves the people he meets. Apparently some cats do on some level know exactly what's going on.
