This was a fun, fairly quick read. The book was available; we were babysitting a cat and I had time to read it. I have never been a cat owner and thought it wouldn't hurt to know more about the species.

There are a few things in this book that I don't agree with. However, the author spent a long time observing 5 different cats. I think much of what Masson had to say was good to learn. I do think that I learned much about the author as well as cats. And for me, that made this a more interesting book.
