This book is similar (as far as I remember) to the first one in the sense that there is not a real story. Just day-to-day events in which the cats are involved. Although the cats are cute and funny, somehow it doesn't add up to a good read. The part I liked the best was about a squirrel they rescued. Her husband is also rather amusing. Otherwise not much made an impression on me, although the writer is excellent at reading the general temperament and attitude of cats towards each other, other animals and, of course, humans.… (plus d'informations)

Il libro che mio padre avrebbe dovuto leggere prima di comprarci un siamese: le avventure di una vedova di campagna appassionata, appunto, di siamesi.

A charming quick read, full of humorous stories of English country life, centered on the loving ministrations of two naturalists to two Siamese cats. The cats aren't spoiled; they just act that way.

Tovey's laugh-out-loud misadventures as a first-time slave to Siamese cats are what set me on a decades-long relationship with these charming devils.

Still funny after all these years.

If you've ever been owned by a Siamese, or if you're considering mortgaging your soul to one, or even if you just enjoy reading about the antics of these critters, whose personalities are as big as their voices, you'll enjoy this tale.
