Who tells better animal stories than James Herriot? This book is beautifully illustrated in watercolor style on milky white pages so smooth to the touch. Each of these elements makes the books so rich and elegant you can feel confident sitting on your coffee table for all to see. Each stories is as heartwarming as the next. It is hard to believe they are just that....stories. Each little face and name invokes a memory of one of my beloved pets. I hope it will bring great memories for other readers.

Although the stories themselves are wonderful, I think the best part about this book is its illustrations!

Gosh, who hasn't reaad James Herriot and laughed and cried. I love this book (just like I love my own cats), because it is small enough to carry around.
Helpful Score: 5
A nice book, but nothing other than the introduction isn't included in his main volumes. If you're a cat lover and want these stories set aside, by all means go ahead. With Herriot you know exactly what you're getting, and if you read him at all you enjoy it, as I do.
For my money, though, the better volumes are the original series in which these stories can be found. There's more there, and it is possible to develop a better sense of his environment and life in the original books.

I am not a cat person - I like cats enough, but I would not own one. I am a happy dog owner who enjoys petting the cats of my friends but going home to actively play with the wild Chief. This collection of cat stories, however, was very touching. Beautifully written, with terrific anecdotes, these stories made me laugh and made me cry. I just loved them! Truly terrific!

Herriot's collection of short stories on felines is a wonderful read.

If you're a cat lover who likes to read something entertaining but not overly stimulating at bedtime, this book should be on your nightstand. Each chapter is a short story, some sad, some funny, all about living with cats in the Yorkshire Dales.
I loved this book. As with all of James Herriot's work, it was heartwarming and humorous.

Book seems to take place long time ago when vets made house calls. Very cute, heartwarming stories about various cats the vet came across during his life.

Very cute stories about a couple and their stories involving cats. Very good book.
It was a very easy read. I enjoyed the stories.
Great stories, but this is just a collection of the cat stories that are included in Herriot's other books; if you own all the other books, you already have copies of these stories. But the book has nice pictures and would be a good gift for a cat lover who isn't yet a fan of Herriot's books
classic james Herriot! A true gem.
Great book for a cat lover! :-)
Great cat stories.Any cat lover would love to read this.
WONDERFUL! Herriot, the famous British vet, is back again with tales of the cats he's known.
Further stories about cats Dr Herriot DVM met in his experiences as a vet.
Many short stories. Quick read.
AM A CAT LOVER. THESE ARE GREAT STORIES.
If you love cats this is for you. Great stories of cats and the wonderful vet that treats them. The countryside is written about so wonderfully that you feel that you can see it. Like all James Herriot books it will take you to a beautiful
place.
