Reseñas
Fair

I listened at bed time to try to fall asleep. It's not exiting nor completely boring so it was perfect for my purposes. Be aware that there are some animal cruelly acts mentioned. Also, it seems like people would drown unwanted kittens & cats like it's normal. This has been the case with another cat book on Librivox. I'm thinking these aren't for me. It can be too much.
Not good

I LOVE cats and most things cat-themed, but this book was dull, not very informative and old fashioned. This is quite something from someone who has been nicknamed 'the ultimate cat woman'!

Some of the cruelties met in this book made me cry, and the “Drowning the unwanted kittens” part was stupid, nobody would ever do that, even back then.
