Su questo libro

Recensione:

She delves into the complicated bond between felines and humans with an unusual blend of pragmatism and appreciation...In her sphere, cats are often stoic, neglected creatures, pitiful and helpless, objects of pathos, a far cry from our sentimentalized spoiled princelets, Morris and Garfield. (People)

Endearing and wise. (San Francisco Chronicle)

[Lessing] captures the passionate gregariousness of her cats...What she does best is describe their relations with one another...Doris Lessing...opens our eyes to the world of cats. (New York Times)
