Book Review

     Last year, I selected "Paw Prints in the Moonlight" by Denis O'Connor as my favorite cat book of the year.  Mr. O'Connor has now released a second book about the cats in his life entitled "Paw Prints at Owl Cottage".
     After the passing of his cat Toby Jug, O'Connor moved away from Owl Cottage for many years.  Upon retirement, he and his wife went and purchased Owl Cottage.  The place was in disarray, but they brought it back into shape.  During this time, Denis decided to get another cat.
     "Paw Prints at Owl Cottage" details the lives of the four cats that the author has had since moving back to the home he once shared with Toby Jug.  The stories and the information about the new cats is very interesting.   However, the best parts of this new book are the stories about Toby Jug that the author did not include in his first book.
     While "Paw Prints at Owl Cottage" is not as good a book as "Paw Prints in the Moonlight", this new book is quite good and worth reading.
