felicitous

an absolutely delightful overview of the wonderful world of feline.This book is written in a very friendly style that starts off as a light read but moves into deeper territory akin to Joseph Campbell. Explores the rich life of cats with highly interesting forays into unexpected realms.While I love this book, I was distracted from time to time by statements that I suppose were misprints, "This cat, though small at around eighteen pounds." I wondered why these were not caught and rectified for later editions.Anyway, the two authors write with much authority, wisdom and respect that renders other books about cats inferior.A great read in many ways!
