SuitabookFor the love of cats
Sandy Robins
- Reading
- Try dipping in by letter, then pause over a verse or fact that catches the reader's attention and talk about what it suggests about cats.
- Themes
- Cats as companions: The book asks why people are passionate about cats and describes their companionship, affection and entertaining behaviour. The framing is warmly appreciative of cats and the bond people have with them.
- Independence and wildness: Cats are presented as intelligent and affectionate yet independent, with a streak of wildness despite thousands of years of domesticated living. This offers a broad, informative contrast between domestic life and cats' independent or wild traits.
- Worth knowing
- The focus is an affectionate celebration of cats and people's fascination with them; the balance between playful verse and factual detail is not clear.
