Touching, sensitive, beautiful

Told from the cat's point of view -- a lovely story of the love and yearning of a wild animal to coexist with Man "kind" -- but is man really kind in this book? Cat, who has to prove his worth, and even then needs to keep his wits about him, seems to be the nobler animal in this book. And speaking of noble animals, those animals that the cat speaks to, who "surely" have a good life in this world, shock him by letting him know exactly how -- "sacred" and stray alike -- they are really treated by humanity: ignored or brutalized or both.... Shows that human nature has not changed over the eons, eh? A great read. A sobering read.

A Cat Shares Its Feelings

Jeffrey Moussaieff Masson's Billi engaged me right away and kept me engaged in a wonderful journey into the psyche of one amazingly enticing cat. I have people buying this book for relatives and friends for Christmas and reading it themselves, of course. Everyone can learn something from listening to this wise cat go on its journey from the wilds into society. Some, like me, will fall in love with him, understand his struggles and give him a special place in our hearts.
