I loved this book so much, and even though I have so many - important - books I would really love to read until I die, I am amazed by books about cats, and I actually realised I like them more than books on primates, on chimps. Aren't cats just the royalty of animals, aren't they the most beautiful creatures in the universe? um... I think, YES. Now, I kno... why my cats are so uneducated... who's fault is it? Mine, of course. With great sadness, I realised how much my cats suffered from poor education and understanding and how many mistakes we made with them. I hope their experience in our family was not so horror. I hope they were happy, even though we did not know so much about them and their needs.
