This lovely book is an ode to cats, those who have kittens, those who are strays who come in from the rain, those who are the boss and let their owner know they are in charge.

Then, there are cats that like to crawl under the covers at night, others who are beatiful with white fur. some ar born in the farmer's barn, and there are cats who love to wait and then surprise the people who care for them.

Anone who loves cats will like this book. ( )

Each page has a short poem about the cat featured, as told BY the cat featured. The illustrations are lovely, with just a slight touch of whimsy. ( )

Not nearly as good as Once I Ate a Pie. ( )

Thirteen poems about various cats from co-authors Patricia MacLachlan and Emily MacLachlan Charest are paired with watercolor paintings of said felines in this sweet picture-book. Each two-page spread features a different cat (and cat breed), from the loving Romeo to the motherly Bett.

The chief appeal of this slight picture-book, for this reader, was Moser's delightful paintings, which really capture the feline charm of his subjects, in their various delightful poses. The poems themselves were pleasant but unremarkable, and I doubt I'll recall anything about them in a few hours' time. Recommended primarily to Barry Moser fans (in whose number I count myself), although young cat lovers may enjoy it as well. ( )

A reader will learn how cats really feel about their humans and their lives. We get to see a cat's perspective of their lives. The illustrations in this book are very well done, compliment the text and make the poems that much more fun to read!
