I got a hardcover edition of this book from Random house whom I'd love to thank dearly. In return I'll give my honest opinionIf you're a cat lover/owner this book is PRECIOUS!! Ok, I'm a cat fanatic, having had cats half my life, almostIt's a quick read with ADORABLE photographs of cats, with letters written to them by their owners. I don't know that I personally would write a letter to my cat, unless asked by an author, to put in a collection such as this, but this is one adorably cute book for cat people. I'd go as far as say a MUST HAVE for cat owners just because it will lighten their day as it has mine :) sometimes a book isn't about the amount & depth of the material in it that you're reading, but just the content. In this case the content being all about CATS!!I'm thrilled to pieces to add this to my book collection!I will admit I needed to read this book in intervals as some of the stories reminded me of my past cat & got a bit weepy, but other stories made me laugh knowing just what that owner was talking about :) I think most stories I could relate to in one way or another.After the letters, there was a section with a small bio on each of the people who contributed letters to the book, both famous & not so famous which was a nice added touchI received this book from Blogging For Books
A Letter to My Cat, is one of those rare books that will make you want to cry, but in a good way. This book collects letters written from humans to their furry, feline friends. Accompanied by lovely photos of cats, humans from all walks of life write to their cats, revealing how these wonderful companions have changed their lives. Some letters are about the ways that cats force their humans to attend to their needs and wants. Some talk about how, when one comes to love a cat, one stops caring so much about cat hair on clothes and torn up furniture. Others speak about the things that cats do that drive us crazy, but which we secretly love. Others delve into how some cats (both figuratively and literally) have saved their owners' lives.Any cat lover will be able to relate to the feelings and thoughts described by these writers. Many readers will laugh, as they realize that the (seemingly ridiculous) things that other cat owners do to make their cats happy are things that the readers do, as well. Even those who are animal lovers, even if they are not cat people, will be able to relate to many of the emotions described in the book. Of course, those who are not animal lovers will find many of the writers insane but, since the audience is meant to be cat lovers, that should not be a problem. I would definitely recommend this book for any animal/cat lover.Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from the publisher through the Blogging For Books program in exchange for an honest review.
I love reading books about animals and this one sounded cute ... and it was. If you are a cat lover, you have to check it out!There are letters to their cats from various celebrities including Rosanna Arquette, Anne Burrell, Joe Perry, Dr. Oz, Gina Gershon, Paige Hemmis ("When life gets crappy, clean the litter box and move on."), Kathy Ireland, Lisa Ray, Stacy London and lots more.The letters are loving and heartwarming ... they are definitely cat lovers! The pictures of the cats are gorgeous.There is even a letter from our Canadian Prime Minister's wife, Lauren Harper, to their cat, Gypsy ... here is a part of it: "You were so thin my husband wondered if I'd brought you home to die. He was concerned that our children would be left heartbroken. But before long you even had the prime minister wrapped around your battered paw. By the time your injuries healed and you began to gain weight, you'd become an integral part of our family. I wish I would thank the Good Samaritans who rescued you. They might be surprised to know that the prime minister fills your breakfast bowl. And that you mingle with rock stars and presidents, philanthropists and though leaders, shedding on everyone equally, regardless of their wealth or stature. Because of you, we always have a lint roller at the ready."Blog review post: http://www.teenaintoronto.com/2014/10/book-letter-to-my-cat-notes-to-our-best.html
Charming quick entertaining read for cat lovers--the wonderful, terrible, quircky, perplexing, sustaining nature of our cat companions and how we feel about them is in every page. I'm a life long animal lover, and have always had 3 cats (for their mutual company) for the last 30 years. I could never have gotten through it without them. A testament to their importance in my life: I dedicated my Ph.D. dissertation not to parents or human friends, but to my 3 cats without whom I could never have completed it. Moves and housing have always been planned to include them without fail. Animal companions are for life--and they repay us 1000 fold. This book is like a companion to the other similar volume, A Letter to My Dog, which I also enjoyed. God bless our furry friends....
Sometimes a book doesn't need a lot of substance to be a good book. A Letter to My Cat is a great example. It's not a literary triumph and it's not destined to be a classic. What is is though is a collection of heartwarming notes written to cats from their food-givers and givers-of-scritches, along with gorgeous color photographs of the cats.Some of the stories/letters are shorter than others, and some are written by the children owned by the cats. Some of the letters are longer, and one is a letter to the memory of a furbaby who is no longer with us. With many of the letters, we learn how the bundle of purrs found his/her way into the life of their chosen human. Many of the letters also share stories of current behavior that all of us cat-moms and cat-dads can understand... who hasn't stepped on a hairball in the middle of the cat or found themselves scrunched up into a corner of the bed because you didn't want to disturb your sleeping baby? And all of us have woken up to a paw batting us or a rough-tongue licking, reminding us that it's time for food... even though it's 4am.A Letter to My Cat is a sweet book full of beautiful photos, and I think it's something that every cat lover would appreciate.Thanks to the Blogging for Books program for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
