Product Description
“If in doubt, wash!”
What is it like to be a cat? Find out in this classic animal story from the renowned writer Paul Gallico.
Peter Brown longs for a pet cat. One day, he is following a stray cat through the streets when he is knocked down and seriously hurt. On waking, he is astonished to find that he has turned into a cat… The world is a dangerous place for him, but luckily he is rescued and befriended by Jennie, a kindly stray tabby who has been abandoned by her owners. Adventures wait around every corner for the two new friends, as Jennie teaches Peter all about life as a cat.
Humorous and touching, and packed with acutely observed feline behaviour, this is a beloved classic that’s essential for any cat-lover.

I remember this book because I loved it when I was about 13. I read it again after finding it here on Amazon, and it's still lovely. Some people might find it a bit sentimental in parts but it is clear from the text that Paul Galico studied cat behaviour very closely before writing it. Not that it's about that; it's a story about a young boy who becomes a cat, but it's closer to the bone than a cuddly-cute kids story, and the characters he meets are very well observed and fully rounded.
I won't give away the ending but all I would say is do read it if you get the chance and if you enjoy escapism. And cats. But not recommended for younger readers (8 and under) because it has a violent scene and the ending is bittersweet and could cause tears.

The ultimate book on understanding cats
23 May 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
How lucky I was to be able to buy this wonderful book again! As I am a great cat-lover this book had enchanted me the first time I'd read it when I was still a child. I had given it away and always regretted doing so. Although it is written for children anyone who loves cats will enjoy it and learn so much about the behaviour of these beautiful animals. Obviously Paul Gallico had studied his own cats intimately and had used his observation of them to breathe life into this charming story.
