There were a few good stories. Some of them were a bit boring, even worse, some of them were problematic (racist, colonialist, etc). I received as a gift and I’m glad I can now clear it from my shelf.

Finally finished. This book should be called 'Ok Cat Stories'. Only about 3 were any good. Rudyard Kipling 'The Cat That Walked by Himself' - a nice fable about the domestication of dog, horse, and cat. Liked 'The Best Bed' also. And one other about a cat killing his owner's girlfriend...can't remember what it was called. I persevered in the hope ...but was mostly disappointed.

This had some good stories, but it was definitely dated. I would have like to seen more modern stories, and less from the 1800s. Quite a few stories had Siamese cats with very interesting personalities. I wonder where that came from.

Lembro-me de ler isto como se fosse ontem; era mesmo pequena quando peguei nisto, e, como é obvio, adorava gatos. Lembro-me de que fiquei boquiaberta com este livro, adorei apaixonadamente ler sobre os gatinhos e já aí sabia que era um livro com mais "carne" so que eu conseguia entender. Reli recentemente e gostei muito; claro está que algumas histórias são melhores que outras... Mas tem piada como algumas histórias têm tanto que eu em miúda não percebi, fiquei mesmo muito chocada, se bem que no bom sentido. Enfim, o livro marcou-me, que posso eu dizer? A minha história perferida no meio de tantas, mesmo agora, mantêm-se a ser "Lily".
